Penta in a Box - Hajime Katsumoto by Tom Lensch


Once again Tom’s craftsmanship is astounding, this time with a hinged lid box that you need to pack all the pieces in!


Kevin blogged about it, here’s an excerpt:


“This one is named as it is because all the pieces are pentominoes and of course there are 5 of the shapes to fit in the box. When it arrived four of the pieces were inside and the L shaped one was outside the box.

“It looks really quite simple - yet again there is a 3x3x3 shaped cavity to fit the pieces into and the lid just closes down over the top of them. This would, at first sight, seem to be quite easy.

They are very devious these designers! It is for this reason that the puzzle won a Jury Honourable mention award in the competition!”
