This puzzle fits into a couple of different categories of
puzzle. Brian calls it a sequential move puzzle. There are items to find and
get out of the puzzle so it could be called a puzzle box in a way.
But Brian does not consider it to be a Sequential Discovery puzzle.
Goal: What you have around the Rialto Bridge is
gondolas and gondoliers, right?
So you have to find the gondola and gondolier inside the puzzle. As well as his
oar (pole) and the ballast (we jokingly said that was the paying tourists
sitting in the gondola).
While it is possible to complete the puzzle with dexterity (read: lots of frustration) a better way is to find the elegant and repeatable solution to all the steps without dexterity involved. The only dexterity necessary should be on the reset of the puzzle and that’s very minimal.
Size: 120mm x 55mm x 35mm
Materials: The puzzle is made from Silky Oak wood with metal
parts and acrylic windows.
Packaged in a kraft cardboard box.

The import duty or tariff rate may be different for every country so please check the rate that applies to your own country.
It is usual practice that import duties or tariffs are paid by the buyer at the point of import or delivery in your own country.
USA is the exception. The USA government has mandated that the tariff be paid to them from Australia before we can send the parcel. The tariff percentage is currently set at 10% for puzzles made in Australia plus a customs clearance fee.
