Description

Designed by Noam Elkies (youngest tenured professor at Harvard!)
Made by George Miller.
(c) 2004

Still in its original shrinkwrap.

Why do I say this is very rare?  I can't find any prior auctions or any other online information about this puzzle.

Note that this appears at first glance to be a typical 2D packing puzzle, with typical pieces (zoom in on the primary image to see them).  However, it's something quite different.  You can read the instructions in the yellow image.  A very clever idea!

This is a well-made hexaflexagon puzzle featuring NBA Stars, the Utah Jazz, the Portland Trailblazers, and the Golden State Warriors.  It's possible to manipulate the puzzle so each of those four faces (and more?) appear correctly.  You'll also find some steps where the pieces of an image appear, but are jumbled.  Can you make each image appear correctly?The puzzle is located in the United States, but I will ship worldwide.Customs forms for international shipments will reflect actual paymen...

NOTE: I have solved and reset this puzzle several times recently.  The mechanism is sticky and does not fully operate as I would expect.  Perhaps some of the issues can be fixed with a bit of sanding?  Still, it's a beautiful piece of woodworking in otherwise good condition.Per the Karakuri website:Mail BoxKyoko HoshinoITEMHS-13Created11/2014Size(box body)60×100×81 ㎜Size(storage part)*****Materialoak, katsuraFacebookTwitter共有This work was designed as a Christmas present for 2014.
