Description

Tern Key is a delightful time waster and a gentle introduction to the greater world of n-arys!

N-arys involve repeating a sequence of moves in a predictable and repetitive manner as the sequence grows in complexity. It make for a genre of puzzles that people enjoy for meditative purposes or to disguise the logical sequence in unusual formats or subtle construction.

Tern Key seeks to introduce the solver to working in 3 after dealing with binary which can be slightly unintuitive since people find it easier and quicker to work in binary or quaternary due to the even numbers. But it's a delight to slide the acrylic pieces with metal pins to grasp as the solver learns and absorbs the ternary logic.

Here is more information on the puzzle: https://cubicdissection.com/products/tern-key-2013

For the first edition of a puzzle from 2013, it is in excellent shape and I can't find any flaws or issues with it.

I accept and prefer using Zelle as my payment method of choice.
I accept Paypal. I prefer Friends & Family due to the IRS tax rules. But if you rather pay with Goods & Services, I will accommodate that preference.

I accept Wise for international buyers.

I am willing to consider other payment methods.

Shipping is USPS or UPS

Buyer chooses the shipping service and shipping speed, First Class or Priority (assuming the package is under the weight limit for First Class).
Insurance is optional, but buyer has to cover it if it is desired.
I ask the winner to hold off on paying until after I calculate and message final shipping costs to be added to the final bid.

Simple Lock 1 by Ben

Simple Lock was the first puzzle Ben ever released, and he knocked it out of the park!People found it hard, but raved about it so much after solving it. It's a very high quality lock puzzle in craftsmanship and ingenuity of the mechanisms. There's even a lovely panel on the back solvers can take off to see how it all worked inside too! I thought of it as a more toned down version of a Popplock. It's not as big or heavy, but the solve and high-precision machining is on the same level! Who wouldn'...

Tenchi by Frederic Boucher

Tenchi is a fun little assembly puzzle that Cubic Dissection made from Fredric's design. It's an "anti-slide" puzzle where all of the pieces have to put into the square and positioned around the single cube notch in a way that none of the pieces can slide right back out of the square on either end. It sounds impossible, but I promise that it's very doable even if you have never tried this style of puzzling before.If it ends up being too confusing or demanding to fully solve, I have a solution Bu...

LOL by Frederic Boucher

Frederic Boucher has a long history of coming up with wild puzzles, but he doesn't like to craft more than a handful of copies before moving on to the next design. Which is why I'm so appreciative of Pelikan for stepping in to make more copies of LOL for everyone to try!LOL is a packing puzzle where the solver needs to fit all of the pieces into a 4x5 space with only a 1x2 opening to fit the pieces inside. It's obvious that rotations will be required since there are pieces that wouldn't otherwis...

Turtle Trip by Gerard Hudson

I almost feel like I'm selling off my grandparent's ashes and belongings with this one. Turtle Trip was the very first major 3d-printed puzzle I bought that wasn't just a packer or tic puzzle while also being one of the first sequential discovery puzzles which introduced me to the ever-popular puzzling genre.It's sentimental on multiple levels how much I've enjoyed keeping this puzzle around for years on end. I even miss Gerard since he vanished from MPD 3 years ago. I sincerely hope he simply d...
