Description

205 Minutes is an amazing n-ary puzzle that has it's name due to the fact that it takes over 12,000 moves to completely disassemble and if you make a move per second, it will take 205 minutes from start to finish before you are done. What a monster of a puzzle!

Unfortunately this is not the wooden version made by CD, but a print that Aleksandr Leontev made for himself. The print is very high quality, it has a nice weight to it implying that a very high infill percentage was used in this print, weighs 6.5 ounces and measures 2.5" for all 3 sides.

It works well as a puzzle that you can carry around with you everywhere since it fits nicely into the packets of a jacket and is clearly durable enough to handle rough usage. Compared to the fact that one wouldn't want to casually carry around the CD version out of a fear of damaging it, this is a clear benefit of owning the printed version of the puzzle.

It also comes with a piece shown in the picture where it can be switched out with another piece for a shorter solve sequence that is "only" about 10,000 moves long. I also have a BT file that I can provide which shows the solve sequence for both problems. But there is the obvious issue of moving the animation slider to watch 1 or 2 moves in a sequence that is 10 to 12 thousand moves long. So I don't consider the BT file to be too helpful.

Sadly, this print does not have the ingenious "quick-reset" mechanism that the wooden CD version has. So if you wish to reset the puzzle after solving it, you will need to reverse the entire solve sequence all over again. 410 minutes of fun guaranteed!

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.

Sand Castle Puzzle Box by Josiah

Sand Castle is the first in a trilogy of lego puzzles from Josiah, and it starts things off with a bang!The goal is to find and raise the hidden flag from within the castle, but that's not the end point of this puzzle. You have to figure out the reset as well which is not a simple reversal of prior steps! It's not considered too hard, but I still had a lovely time with the involved 5 steps of the puzzle and it makes for an excellent introductory lego puzzle to hand to family and frie...

T14 Popplock by Rainer Popplock

Where do I begin with this beast of a puzzle? It's one of the most sought after puzzle lock with multiple fanatical fans wanting to collect every single lock made by Rainer. He definitely knows how to make locks that would stump any thief looking to loot one's puzzle collection! It'll stump their minds and is made so sturdily that it'd stump their aching hands and demand power tools to break through!It's not an easy puzzle at all and I struggled for a long time working on it, but it was such an ...

Prison Block Puzzle Box by Josiah

Prison Block is the second in a trilogy of lego puzzles from Josiah, and it makes for a very worthy sequel!The goal is to open the gate of the prison, trigger the alarm, and free the imprisoned jailbird from his cell! But that's not the end point of this puzzle. Just like with Sand Castle, you also have to figure out the reset as well which is not a simple reversal of prior steps! It's a major step up from Sand Castle with 18 steps and Josiah was rightfully proud of himself for implementing som...

Archipuzzle by Lucie Pauwels

Archipuzzle is actually a sequel of sorts to Stuffing Burr despite both puzzles being designed by different people.Just like Stuffing Burr, Archipuzzle is an unusual burr puzzle where the goal is to assemble it instead of taking the burr apart. Furthermore, it has a catch in that it has no obvious goal shape unlike most other burrs. Instead, solvers need to figure out how to assemble the pieces in a way that every notch is filled in with another piece.Lucie was inspired by Volker's Stuffing Burr...
