Description



I’ve often read about this puzzle design through Stewart’s ‘Ap-Art’ and finally decided to make a copy. 


Here’s Stewart’s description:


“The next reference known to the author for the 3 x 3 x 3 cube is a version that appeared in Mathematical Snapshots, by Hugo Steinhaus published by Oxford University Press in 1950. Puzzle historians might well be puzzled by this half-century gap. With all of the interest in burrs, etc. during that time, could there have been no interest in cubic blocks? The version in the Steinhaus book (Fig. 49) has two solutions that are slight variations of each other and of medium difficulty. It is referred to as Mikusinski's Cube after its originator, the Polish mathematician J. G. Mikusinski.”


Pieces are a random mix of Canarywood, Jatoba, Maple and Mahogany.


Box is Canarywood with a Maple Sleeve and Wenge Slipfeathers.


Shipping cost to be determined at close of auction.
