Get the L(s) Out! - Stewart Coffin Design #210 by Henry Strout

This clever packing puzzle was Henry’s  IPP 27 Exchange puzzle on the Gold Coast in Australia.  Stewart originally named this puzzle EL-Hole and renamed for its subsequent release as an exchange puzzle.

There’s usually a distinction between a packing versus unpacking type puzzles, however this one actually fits into both categories quite nicely.  I received it already packed and can certainly attest to its unpacking challenge!

Here’s Stewart’s description:

“Six polycube pieces, five of one kind R and a sixth its mirror image L, are to be assembled inside a slightly oversized 2x3x4 box with L-shaped opening in the top, presumably one way and in one order only, which is quite tricky and involves rotation.”
