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.

Payments & Returns

Smuggler's Hold by Jesse Born

When it comes to Jesse's puzzles, Smuggler's Hold is a nice compact one which makes carrying it around easy so I can show it off to friends and family without much worry about it being too big or delicate to share! It looks incredible as if it's an actual smuggling pirate's artifact and is deceptive in how much puzzling it can hide away in such a tiny space!I wouldn't consider it the best of Jesse's work, but that's because he's got so many utterly astonishingly incredible puzzles which overshad...

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...

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'...

Simple Box 1 by Ben

Out of all of Ben's puzzles, it's interesting how my top favorite is also his cheapest (relatively speaking) puzzle to buy. The Simple Locks and the upcoming Simple Pen are more visually appealing, but the solve of Simple Box is just so much more fun and elegant in my eyes. I had a blast with it and am deeply impressed by Ben's creativity.Get this sucker so I can convert another puzzler into being a brainless fan of Ben who mindlessly buys everything of his!I apologize that my auction pricing is...
