Description


Alexander has graciously allowed me to make a small run of this very cool design and I happened to have a variety of 3/4” wood cubes that just seemed perfect to make some copies.  I made a tray to contain the 6x6 main challenge (unique solution).

This design has many different configurations as you can see below and I can confirm that they are all very difficult solves.

I’m including an information sheet listing all of the woods used, signed and dated.

Everything has been lacquered and triple buffed using my ‘Beall Buffing System’.


Here’s Alexander’s description:


“First of my ‘Darwin puzzles’ starting with one cube, the next piece is the previous one with one cube added.”  


Main challenge: 

6x6 square - 1 solution 

9x4 rectangle - 4 solutions


Other possible challenges in blue with number of solutions, (see last photo).

Left to right: 12, 11, 6, 4, 3, 2


Shipping is as follows: 

Canadian tracked shipping is included

USA is $20  includes tracking

International is $20 without tracking and $40 with tracking


Please note that funds are in US Dollars

Singmaster Packing - David Singmaster (1971) by John Devost
This design by Professor Singmaster (sadly passed away in 2023) was my very first puzzle offering at CubicDissection back in 2005, it’s 25 pieces that can be packed in the box 22 ways.I was going through my ‘Salvaged Piano Wood’ (see last photo of my keyboard wall hanging, that I made from our upright piano that was produced in the ‘roaring ‘20’s!), so I figured I’d make more of this classic puzzle with this antique lumber.As always everything gets my ‘triple buffing finish’ th...

Tube It In - William Strijbos by John Devost
It seems hard to believe that it's been almost 20 years since I first made a small run of this clever packing puzzle design in 2006.  William has graciously allowed me to offer up another run as there were only a dozen copies made in 2006.The original metal version was William’s exchange puzzle at the IPP21 in Tokyo.This version is made using many wood varieties and includes a Stand.  The entire puzzle has been ‘triple buffed’ giving it a very nice sheen.Overall size is a little over 4...

Doubleplay - Stewart Coffin Design #X-75 (2015) by John Devost
This design was used by Saul Bobroff as his IPP 37 Exchange puzzle gift in Paris.Stewart designed this cool puzzle in 2015 and used three different lidded box variants, and I thought I’d craft my version using a dovetail lid similar to Saul’s version.Here’s Stewart’s description:“The name Doubleplay comes from the two tasks – finding the one solution to the 3x3x3 cubic assembly, and then figuring out how to get the darn thing into the box, both difficult.”I used more of my ‘Piano...

Gouge Packing Puzzle - Gaétan Gouge by John Devost
I previously made a few of this surprisingly difficult packing puzzle by Gaétan and at the time I didn’t have any contact info for him but then a few years ago I was surprised by one of his puzzle purchases in ‘Paradise’.My plan was to make another run but life kinda’ took a turn so now I’ve managed to sort myself out and began making another run.Allard kindly blogged about the copies I made in 2014, here’s an excerpt:https://allardspuzzlingtimes.blogspot.com/2014/04/gouge-packing-p...
