Meanders Box (172 step version) (2018) - Junichi Yananose (Juno)
The puzzle world eagerly awaits each wondrous creation from Junichi Yananose (Juno).  In 2018 Juno created two “Meanders Box” designs – one with a maximum of 172 steps, the other with a maximum of 348 steps.  This is the 172-step version, which actually can be configured in 4 different ways resulting in puzzles with 130, 134, 161, and 172 steps.  One interesting feature of this puzzle is that the puzzle you’re solving isn’t the one on top, it’s the one inside that you can’t see!...
