Description

Melting Block 4 has two unique solutions. The first solution uses 11 polished aluminum pieces to fill the box entirely. Or so it seems... There remains a second, utterly different solution by adding the final brass piece, which seems to magically "melt" into the box despite an apparent lack of space.

Crafting Melting Block 4 requires extreme precision to prevent unwanted false solutions. Each CNC-machined and hand-finished block is accurate to 0.002 inches. The wood box is precisely crafted to a perfect fit. The result is excellent, weighing in at a hefty 1.75lbs. The bright, clean character of the pieces contrasts nicely with the dark warmth of the wood.

Just a note - if the pieces seem a little tight in the box, don't force it. This is not the right solution. All pieces fit nicely without "squeezing" into place.

This is my favorite packing puzzle and the one puzzle I probably spent the most time solving... it is not easy!

Mind the Gap - Andrew Coles

Mind the Gap by Andrew Coles."This puzzle lock aims to deviate from convention. Rather than the standard padlock that collectors have become familiar with, this ‘shutter’ style lock utilises a cylindrical bolt-like shackle. As usual, a simple key turn is not going to get you very far, but with some patience and attention you can work towards finding the solution."
