⟬ Metal Fortnight ⟭———04. Doug Engel, Wil Strijbos - Black Hole (Bits & Pieces version, 1999)

i think of this as an engineer's puzzle. it's something of a Columbus Egg: it seems like an impossible object, but has a very simple and practical solution.

♫:

▪ everything i have is in the photos.

▪ buyer pays shipping, calculated after the auction.

▪ shipment is by USPS Priority Mail, insured for the full sale price, and trackable.

▪ payment via PayPal only.

▪ all puzzles in my collection have been kept out of sunlight, in a humidity-stable room or sealed plastic container, away from pets unless they can solve them, and in a non-smoking household.

thank you for looking, and good luck if you bid.

Karakuri Hit Box (2008)

⟬ Smallbox Fortnight ⟭——21. Karakuri Hit Box (2008) from the KCG description: You must hit the box to open it. This is quite simple, but it is also quite funny. At craft fairs, many people felt that Karakuri Boxes were difficult to open. Therefore, this was designed. For a long time, the craftsman continued making it in secret, because, other craftsmen in our group were trying to create special works, too. This is a new specification. The surface painting...
