I recently acquired this puzzle and was instantly taken aback by the odd shape of the box that was very well crafted by Brian Menold!
Figuring out a way to get the pieces in this box is quite the task! There are more than 10 assemblies with only one that will allow you to place them into the box, this had me at wits end. I finally resorted to burrtools with the assistance of a Discord member and even then it took me a complete run through of each assembly a couple of times to finally crack this nut! What an incredible puzzle design from Laszlo!
Kevin’s blog is well worth a look to read what he wrote on this awesome design!
Here's what Brian said: Please visit Wood Wonders to stay informed of his wonderful puzzle offerings!
“I had so many requests for this I decided to add a few to this update. So here is another of Laszlo's great packing puzzles. This just seems too easy! Large triangular openings on both sides of the box should make this one a quick solve right? Wrong! If you like packing puzzles, you should give this a try. It is also a great puzzle to hand to a novice puzzler. By looking at it they will be confident they can solve it quickly. Then you can enjoy watching their frustration grow as they fight to find a solution.”
