Description

This awesome design by Stewart is one of my favourite, it appears so simple but is fiendishly difficult to solve.

Here’s an excerpt from Stewart:

“The problem here was to find a combination using the five non-symmetrical pentominoes (made of five joined squares) plus one other pentomino that fit into a rectangular tray one way only. After a long search, this goal was finally achieved.”

Comes with a signed and dated sheet.

Shipping cost to be determined at close of auction.

Gouge Packing Puzzle - Gaétan Gouge by John Devost

Christmas 2001 - Stewart Coffin #182 by John Devost

I originally made a small amount of this wonderful design in 2006 (sold at CubicDissection) and thought I might make a few more copies.This particular copy is crafted from Maple from an antique upright piano with Padauk slipfeathers.Stewart makes note of this particular version:“The Original Christmas has two design flaws - a piece duplicated and a symmetrical piece. Both flaws have been corrected in this 2018 version. Both versions have only one solution.”Entire puzzle has been ‘tri...
