Juno’s Kumikisaurus



I’ve always admired ‘Kumiki’ puzzles and was thrilled when Juno decided to offer one crafted in his shop!


Now you might think that this 9 piece burr would be a cakewalk but let me tell you, this puzzle will definitely keep you guessing!  I spent the better part of an hour just to disassemble from its incorrect assembly and have yet to reassemble it into its correct assembly with the ‘Dinosaur’s’ front feet down.


Here’s Juno’s description from Pluredro:



“This 9-piece dinosaur-shaped puzzle offers unique solutions for levels 10-13. That is, it takes 10 moves to remove the first piece from the assembled shape and another 13 moves to remove the second piece. It is a relatively easier puzzle compared to many of Juno's diabolic burr puzzles, yet it is still challenging to solve. Some of the pieces are shaped in such a way that it is obvious at a glance which parts need to be assembled where. The difficult part of the challenge is in which order the pieces have to be assembled.

The puzzle is shipped to the customer incorrectly assembled, so it must be disassembled and reassembled to form a perfect dinosaur shape. Some of you may remember Juno's former design Kumiki Airline, which is made from the same material as Kumikisaurus.

Juno wanted to add variety to our puzzle products, so he designed this dinosaur-shaped puzzle. We have previously released Chubby Crocodile and cat-shaped Mittan, but both are considered to be puzzle boxes. It is our first-time animal-shaped burr puzzle, and we plan to release more products with similar concepts in the future. Unlike most of the conventional kumiki, our puzzles will always require multiple movements to disassemble.

The solution to this puzzle will be supplied upon request by Burr Tools file format.”
