Akaki’s Basket - Foie Gras by Akaki Kuumeri

Wow this is an intense puzzle, it took me a considerable amount of time to solve this packing puzzle!

This particular design is part of the set of packing puzzles that were later added to the original set and they all can still be purchased at Akaki’s Etsy.

As you can see in the description there is a piece that features a cut that is most definitely needed for the solve:

“Foie Gras Basket is a new design published in July 2021. The diagonally notched piece allows for a satisfying movement that is almost like closing a lid on a box. Fitting the two large pieces in is hard enough, and you have two L-shaped pieces to fit after that. This puzzle requires more dexterity than the previous puzzles. I won't give it away here, but there is an hidden feature in the pieces, designed to help you in the solve, and you will understand why it is there once you get to the end of the solution. The solution takes 26 moves, and is similar in difficulty to Charcoal Basket.”
