This is an original wooden version of the puzzle made by George Miller for IPP20.
It is not the Bits and Pieces metal version.
Goal as written by George on the enclosed paper.
The Buffalo Nickel Puzzle is based on the Nine-and-a-half Moves puzzle by Oskar van Deventer. It is composed of just three pieces that fit together in such a way as to hide a secret compartment and find the Nickel. Although the three pieces are flat and lie in a single plane, it takes a remarkable 9 ½ moves to solve.
Laser cut wood by George Miller.
Size: Diameter 95mm
A full step by step colour printed solution is provided.
Condition: There is a small chip on the white rim of the back of the puzzle. See photo. And the paperwork with the puzzle is a little brown with age where the puzzle has been sitting on top of it in the box. I completed the solve of the puzzle so know that it is working as expected according to the solution.
