Description

One Hand Box is an unusual puzzle that evolved out of a commissioned packing puzzle. It was meant to be a one-off, but then Rob decided to share this very enjoyable packer with more than just one lucky fellow (albeit with permission of the commissioner who was very gracious to allow it). I don't know what the original puzzle was like since there has been some changes and refinement into this puzzle for the masses to enjoy. But One Hand Box is a delight!

First, the puzzle is received as a sealed up and heavily lacquered rectangular box. Then as the solver pushes the lid open, the "pin" piece pops up. Like a grenade, when the pin is pulled, pieces will go flying! Hopefully to less than fatal consequences for the solver though! The challenges of the puzzle is three-fold:
First the solver has to figure out how everything goes back together just for resetting the puzzle, which is no mean feat! But the lid refuses to slide open any further than halfway!

So secondly, the solver has to find the alternative way to pack the pieces inside.

And once that's all said and done, the true meaning of the puzzle's name finally comes up! Try to pack the pieces back inside with only one hand! It seems challenging since the magnets on the pieces love to push against each other to frustrate all solvers, but it's easier than one would think if one pays careful attention to the order of insertion into the box.

Please keep in mind that next week is the Thanksgiving celebration so I may be delayed in shipping out puzzles until the Monday after Thanksgiving at the earliest.

I accept and prefer using Zelle as my payment method of choice.
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.

Grooved 6 Board Burr #7 by Juno

The Grooved Board Burr series was an amazing innovation in the design of board burrs where instead of just burr plates that the solver has to figure out how to take apart, they now have to deal with blocking pins obstructing their ability to dismantle this burr. I only ever had the luck to try #6 and #7 in the series, but they were both an absolute blast to solve!It's the hardest one in the series and stays stable for an impressively long time. But the final few moves before the first piece can ...

Tenchi by Frederic Boucher

Tenchi is a fun little assembly puzzle that Cubic Dissection made from Fredric's design. It's an "anti-slide" puzzle where all of the pieces have to put into the square and positioned around the single cube notch in a way that none of the pieces can slide right back out of the square on either end. It sounds impossible, but I promise that it's very doable even if you have never tried this style of puzzling before.If it ends up being too confusing or demanding to fully solve, I have a solution Bu...

LOL by Frederic Boucher

Frederic Boucher has a long history of coming up with wild puzzles, but he doesn't like to craft more than a handful of copies before moving on to the next design. Which is why I'm so appreciative of Pelikan for stepping in to make more copies of LOL for everyone to try!LOL is a packing puzzle where the solver needs to fit all of the pieces into a 4x5 space with only a 1x2 opening to fit the pieces inside. It's obvious that rotations will be required since there are pieces that wouldn't otherwis...

Dark Matter Burr by Juno

Dark Matter Burr sounds ominous with it's name and looks, but it's quite gentle in my eyes.I solved it fairly quick when I first got it, but it's really fun to take apart and reassemble with how there are only 18 moves to take out the first piece. It looks like it should be a nightmare with its unusual pieces' shapes, but once the solver gets going, it's only a modest challenge to beat. I wouldn't say this is an easy puzzle or beginner-friendly, but it's not hard either. I rate this at medium di...
