Description


I’m offering up my copy of this cool design it features both the 3-colour and 4-colour variant along with a 2x3x4 Box and a 4x6 Tray.  


  • Piece wood variety for the 4-colour version are Purpleheart, Yellowheart, Redheart and Black Palm. 
  • Piece wood variety for the 3-colour version are Yellowheart, Bloodwood and Black Palm.


  • Box and Sleeve (removable) is Leopardwood with Black Limba Top & Bottom and Wenge Slipfeathers.
  • Tray is Padauk with Holly Slipfeathers and a Black Limba Sleeve (removable) and Bottom.


Please note that photos show the pieces in the ‘starting position’, I will ship/pack them in this configuration.



Here’s Stewart’s description:


“Five multi-colored solid polyominoes come assembled in a 4x6 tray, and 

the problem is to rearrange them so that no two like colors are next to each other, and also with color symmetry. A second 4x6 arrangement exists and also a unique 3x8 arrangement, but neither satisfies the requirements of symmetry. 

The solution is to pack them in the unique 2x3x4 solid arrangement. There are two different versions of this puzzle: three-color and four-color.”


Shipping to be determined at close of auction.
