MRI

Designer: Benjamin Heidt

This puzzle measures: 133 mm x 77 mm x 78 mm

Material: Maple, Am. Walnut, Mahogany, Pink Oak, Jatoba

Kevin Sadler wrote about it:

“This new rather quirky and very attractive puzzle design by Benjamin Heidt is a new type of puzzle for Pelikan and I am not certain how to categorise it. Apparently Benjamin is a technician who works on MRI machines in hospitals. He must be very used to working with magnets and there are several of them inside this puzzle. It looks just like an MRI scanner complete with a patient (he has hair and a nose!) on the scanning platform inside the magnet. The aim is to remove the patient from the scanner by unlocking the hidden interior mechanism. One thing Benjamin should know is that you must NEVER bring another ferrous metal object inside the Faraday cage walls of an MRI room because it will turn into a missile if released in the room (believe me, I have seen it with an old Molybdenum steel oxygen cylinder – it moves very fast and does a LOT of damage!) but here he has disobeyed all the rules. The puzzle has a magnetic ball bearing on the floor held by a magnet embedded inside it and obviously this magnetic bearing is used to somehow unlock the patient from the scanner and remove him. I do not know how many steps is required because I have so far not managed to do much more than make interesting clicking noises as I move the bearing over the surface. I am making things happen inside but so far I have made no progress with the release – my patient may well starve to death in the MRI! I may be reduced to having to take it to work and asking a kind radiographer to take an Xray of it for me. This is certainly something interesting which we have never seen before from the Pelikan workshop. Well worth adding to your collection for the quirkiness and the considerable puzzling challenge.”

This is a very tricky puzzle to disassemble.  The simple exterior hides a fascinating interior.  If you want a peek, you can see a bit of the inside in the 2002 IPP Design Competition PDF.  The puzzle is a 5" cube that weighs in at almost two pounds.  It's made from walnut, jatoba, and jarrah. 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 ...
