Stickman #35 One-Hand Puzzle Box by Robert Yarger (Stickman)

Limited Edition #129/160.

Stickman writes "One Hand Puzzlebox (No. 35) is crafted from walnut with exotic wood irregular shaped magnetic packing pieces.  This puzzle is based on a concept by Asher Simon, and is Robert's tribute to the genera of packing puzzles. It is called the “One Hand Puzzlebox” because using a single hand is the most satisfying way of solving it.  Remove the packing puzzle pieces from one end of the  box, and they flip around like a transformer robot.  Pieces have to be separated and placed back into the  compartment, one at a time, and in a particular order, just to get them back in. At times, combined pieces have to slide around with a satisfying “snap into place feel” to fit the others in. Upon proper completion, the second compartment will open. This also resets the puzzle pieces to transform once again the next time they are removed.

The puzzle requires a minimum of 18 steps to solve properly. It measures roughly 6” x 3” x 3”, and is rated as difficult to solve correctly.

Lift the grenade pin to remove the packing puzzle from the box. The goal is to use a single hand to pack each piece individually back into the box, but do it with a different orientation that allows the second compartment to open when complete."
