SixPack is a non-space-filling 4x4x4 packing puzzle designed by the late great Dr. Markus Götz of Germany, produced beautifully by Markus himself.  Markus used SixPack as his exchange puzzle in the IPP27 Edward Hordern Puzzle Exchange held in Gold Coast Australia in 2007, making this puzzle just about twenty years old.  Obviously, the goal of the puzzle is to PACK the SIX pieces (three sets of two mirror image pieces) so that they will fit into the box.  My copy of SixPack is ...

Space is an aptly named caged burr puzzle designed by Dan Fast, this design is far out. The level 173 solution (145.1.5.4.4.2.2.2.2.2.2) is a tough challenge for even the seasoned burr solver to follow along with the solution file. Disassembly without aid is approaching the limits of human capabilities, but I am certain there are a select few out there with the ability and endurance to do so. The fourth photo is 108 moves into the solve.Wonderfully crafted by legendary maker Maurice Vigeroux, t...

Eric Fuller - Triple Locked Box (2007) from Eric's description: Although it looks relatively modest on the outside, this is a phenomenally difficult puzzle box to open. It is by far the most difficult box I have produced for the public. Beginning with simple sliding panel moves, the solvers task is to find the key and use it to disengage the concealed locks which prevent it from opening further. Although the metal parts of the mechanism are never revealed, this box wo...
