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
