Description
Description:
Hold TUMBLEBUG between the thumb and second finger at the point marked "A" on Fig 1, with the base resting on a firm, level, flat surface (not too slippery).
Note that point A is not vertical but is slightly overbalanced toward the left. (the illustration assumes that you are right-handed).
Now release TUMBLEBUG (no pushing!).
If you have not solved the puzzle, it will rock down on its convex side and settle in the position shown in Fig 2.
However, if you have correctly solved the puzzle, it will continue on through the position shown in Fig 3. and finally end up with a satisfying thump with its concave side down, in the position shown in Fig 4.
Having solved the puzzle, you will no doubt know how to reset it for the next puzzler.


It must be the most difficult Frank Chambers puzzle and one (if not the) of the most original Chambers. I don't really know on which category this puzzle should be.
It comes with the original solution

Core packing by Eric Fuller
Description:Blurring the line between a packing puzzle and an interlocking puzzle, the goal is to construct the 3x3 cube inside the box. Tougher than you might imagine since the opening is only 2x2. The solver must figure out the proper piece orientation as well as the order of insertion. Tricky but not insanely difficult with a level 4.1.2 solution, and a lot of fun to solve.Only 40 copies were madePayment : PayPal (F&F preferred or fees to be paid by buyer).

Description:Designed by Frederic Boucher and made by Eric Fuller 9 years ago.Description from Eric's website: It's really a great puzzle; even if you don't necessarily like packing puzzles you should give it a try. There are three solutions for packing all the wood pieces plus the metal dowl in. However, once you put the dowel in the hole, there is only one solution and it's very, very tricky.Construction of this puzzle is outstanding. The tray had to be very precisely made and the location of t...
