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!


The puzzle is located in the United States, but I will ship worldwide.
Customs forms for international shipments will reflect actual payments.
Payments can be made through PayPal (Friends & Family preferred).
Buyer to pay shipping calculated after auction.
Please wait for the updated invoice before making payment.
