Description



I’ve often read about this puzzle design through Stewart’s ‘Ap-Art’ and finally decided to make a copy. 


Here’s Stewart’s description:


“The next reference known to the author for the 3 x 3 x 3 cube is a version that appeared in Mathematical Snapshots, by Hugo Steinhaus published by Oxford University Press in 1950. Puzzle historians might well be puzzled by this half-century gap. With all of the interest in burrs, etc. during that time, could there have been no interest in cubic blocks? The version in the Steinhaus book (Fig. 49) has two solutions that are slight variations of each other and of medium difficulty. It is referred to as Mikusinski's Cube after its originator, the Polish mathematician J. G. Mikusinski.”


Pieces are a random mix of Canarywood, Jatoba, Maple and Mahogany.


Box is Canarywood with a Maple Sleeve and Wenge Slipfeathers.


Shipping cost to be determined at close of auction.

Slot Machine - Stewart Coffin Design #185 by Henry Strout
I have decided to offer up this puzzle in an effort to further thin out my personal collection.  This classic Coffin design was Henry’s IPP 24 Exchange puzzle at Tokyo, Japan  in 2004 and marked his second appearance in the exchange.Eric Fuller (RIP) released (2005) a modified version with a wood slotted top to make the puzzle much more difficult!Here’s Stewart’s description:“Try your luck on this one - or test your patience! The seven polyomino-type pieces of Slot Machine are inserted...

30 Notched Sticks - George Hart - 3D printed by Stephanie Cervi
This is a cool puzzle that displays nicely, although it does come apart I wouldn’t suggest it as it does not contain a key piece.Here’s a description from Stephanie:“This exceptionally challenging stick assembly puzzle is made up of 30 identical sticks, arranged along the edges of a dodecahedron.  Getting started is easy enough, but the last few pieces will delight and confound even experienced puzzlers.”Shipping cost to be determined at close of auction.
