Come and enjoy the pretty pixels of whichever puzzle is being listed for this page!HoleyTIC is considered by many to be the hardest 5x5x5 tic ever devised, if not the hardest tic ever!

GemTIC by Andrew Crowell
Hello prospective bidders! Come and enjoy the pretty pixels of whichever puzzle is being listed for this page!This GemTIC is most likely one of the most beautiful tics out there with the sheer variety of woods used in its construction, and its non-cube shape makes for a difficult solve since it's not intuitive to work from corners or to "place" a piece against a flat side when looking for the final assembly. Good luck solving this gem of a tic!Long story short, I'm selling several dozen Turning ...

TriumviraTIC by Andrew Crowell
Hello prospective bidders! Come and enjoy the pretty pixels of whichever puzzle is being listed for this page!TriumviraTIC is, as fitting it's mouthful of a name, most likely the hardest of all 3 piece tics designed by Andrew. It has the longest solve sequence compared to the rest, and is trickier to solve even compared to tics with 4, 5, 6, or more pieces involved. Just because a tic has only 3 pieces doesn't mean it will be a trivial solve: https://woodwondersonline.com/products/triumviraticLo...

3 Body Problem by Girish Sharma
Hello prospective bidders! Come and enjoy the pretty pixels of whichever puzzle is being listed for this page!3 Body Problem may or may not be the hardest tic ever, but I freely admit it's the tic I left unsolved for the longest time of any tic I have done! About 6-7 months passed before I put this 3 piece tic together! It has some very sneaky rotations to be found. I'm also not showing the final assembly to keep a trick this tic has to play hidden for the lucky winner: https://www.zenpuzzler.co...

TripleTIC by Andrew Crowell
Hello prospective bidders! Come and enjoy the pretty pixels of whichever puzzle is being listed for this page!TripleTIC is slightly disappointing with how its name implies all 3 pieces would be identical as expected from typical triplets, but sadly enough, this set of triplets are fraternal triplets (non-identical). It's a fairly easy solve with the low number of rotations needed to put this set of three together into a cube: https://woodwondersonline.com/products/tripletic-reduced-10Long story ...

Split Cube #2 by Andrew Crowell
Hello prospective bidders! Come and enjoy the pretty pixels of whichever puzzle is being listed for this page!Split Cube #2 is not a tic. It's an Interlocking Cube with ball bearings hiding away inside of it. As a result, it's actually fairly difficult to assemble as well as disassembling it. Due to this reason, I will not be sending this puzzle with the pieces apart. In fact, this puzzle will be sold as a disassembly puzzle. If the solver gets stuck, try listening to it carefully to figure out ...

Genetic by Andrew Crowell
Hello prospective bidders! Come and enjoy the pretty pixels of whichever puzzle is being listed for this page!Genetic is an old classic Crowell tic. So old that there are still a number of die-hard tic fans who have somehow missed finding a copy and are deeply entertained when they finally get to try it! Either way, this one is a tic to try.

CatharTIC by Andrew Crowell
Hello prospective bidders! Come and enjoy the pretty pixels of whichever puzzle is being listed for this page!CatharTIC is definitely what I feel when I finally solve a tricky tic and it lives up very well to it's name when this one irritating piece finally moves into juuuust the right spot! However despite what its name implies, I don't actually consider this too difficult of a tic. The rotations are fairly straight forward, and the difficulty is in navigating the internal openings as the piece...

GalacTIC by Andrew Crowell
Hello prospective bidders! Come and enjoy the pretty pixels of whichever puzzle is being listed for this page!GalacTIC is a strong contender for being Andrew's most difficult tic. I get so lost working on manipulating the pieces it's like I'm wondering in a vast galaxy with just as likely odds for finding my way to freedom! Some people actually suggest trying it as a disassembly puzzle instead of the usual approach with tics to put the pieces together. Either way, Galactic is equally hard when p...

Shiba Inu
Girish Sharma wrote about it: “Shiba Inu” is an assembly zoo burr with standard 6 piece burr pieces and a (drum roll)… dog. The goal of the puzzle is to take the 6 pieces and first assemble it into standard 6 piece burr shape. Then disassemble and assemble it back again, but with the dog piece inside!” Kevin Sadler wrote about it:“Here we have a couple of challenges in one from the amazing Girish Sharma. It’s a 6 piece burr with a single solution (no key piece) and then a 7 piece b...

Black Hole Burr
Just three pieces to assemble around the black hole cube. How hard can it be? As many, many puzzle collectors know, surprisingly so when it’s a Junichi Yananose design. It may not be the hardest puzzle in the world but for a really good Aha feeling, it does not have to be. And this one has it. Aha! Got it! Never felt so good.Puzzle sold disassembled for maximum puzzling enjoyment.Shipping cost to be calculated at auction end

Pulsar Burr
What is the definition of pulsar?A rapidly spinning neutron star that emits a bright beam of radiation from its magnetic poles. The name derives from the fact that the star appears to pulsate every time the beam sweeps past us. Pulsar is short for ‘pulsating star’.And that’s what we thought the burr looked like when assembled!The puzzle consists of 4 pieces of 10mm acrylic and a single wooden piece from Western Australian Jarrah. One of the acrylic pieces is quite unique to any other burr ...
