Description



This puzzle is one that I only ever made two copies of back in early 2000.  At the request of a puzzle collector they were made to resemble Stewart’s original.

I was able to acquire some 1/2” cubes from BAZ so decided to make a small run.

Here’s what Stewart wrote:

“It consisted of 10 checkered pieces made of five cubic blocks joined different ways, that packed checkered into a 5x5x2 box one way only.  Credit for the computer analysis that led to this surprising unique design goes to Mike Beeler.  Without the checkering there are 2408 solutions.  The name by the way came from a sarcastic comment I once received at a craft show”

Puzzle was lacquered and buffed to a nice sheen.


Woods used are: Oak & Makore pieces and Tray is Mahogany with Wenge Slipfeathers.


Shipping to be determined at close of auction.
