For sale is a beautifully manufactured edition of this wonderful Puzzle by Thomas H. O'Beirne. Manufactured by talented Tom Lensch this copy screams quality and seeing the lid fall slowly fall onto the box when placed is incredible. I actually have two copies, so letting one go to a new home to enjoy. Need a new Mac Studio.
Another favourite. This is a very special craftsman edition.
Multiple Objectives: Information from puzzleworld.org/.
"The design for this puzzle was published by Thomas H. O'Beirne in the New Scientist (Number 224) March 2, 1961. His objective was to find a set of six equal-volume pieces that can be assembled to fill any one of six different rectangular block shapes.
The pieces are made up from twenty-four 3x4x6 unit blocks. The first shape to make is 18x8x12 units. Then for the next five shapes, divide the blocks into two groups of three pieces and shift them to make shapes of 24x8x9, 24x12x6, 16x18x6, 16x12x9 and finally 12x12x12. This is a very elegant puzzle."
Woods: Walnut and Mahogany
