Set of "food" packing glass puzzles, I believe most if not all are designed by Nob Yoshigahara.  The set includes Broad Beans, Plums, Peanuts, Pineapple (Pineapple Delight), Corn (A-Maize-ing), and Orange.  All are made by Toyo Glass except for the Orange puzzle, which is a Beverly reproduction but in a Toyo glass.  For me, these puzzles ranged from relatively easy to tremendously difficult.  I needed a couple hints (i.e. the correct position for a piece or two) for a few of these puzzles (c...

This was my exchange puzzle from IPP32 held in Washington D.C. in 2012.  It is based on a puzzle from 1932 by the Atlantic Refining Company that was used to advertise their motor oil.  The objective of the puzzle is to place the two wooden pieces on the scoreboard to produce a 12-11 victory for the Washington Nationals.  (The second photo shows an incorrect solution to the puzzle, because the final score shown is 11-9, not 12-11.)  Note that the puzzle is made from ash, the same wood used in...

Asparagus, designed by Dick Hess, made by Toyo GlassIt was cool to find out that this packing puzzle was designed by Dick Hess.  Figuring out the "assembly" was a good challenge that was doable but took me quite some time.  But then there was a dexterity element too in getting the asparagus spears into the right place.  Great looking puzzle.-----Buyer is responsible for shipping which should be less than $10 for small puzzles (within USA, first-class).  Priority mail (and heavier puzzles) mi...

Dr. Volker Latussek wrote about it:“I have been thinking and working on FERMAT for more than two years. I had initially planned a puzzle with a box typical for me: a square base and centred opening and three triangles. Preferably equilateral triangles. Despite considerable effort, I could not find discover an exciting solution. So I switched to isosceles triangles, in the end the 45 degree angle imposed itself. The side lengths of the three triangles now had to be chosen in such a way that the...

Third Degree - Bits and PiecesWooden 3 piece packing puzzle. Similar concept to Stark Raving Cubes (4 piece version).Shipping will be calculated upon auction ending - buyer pays actual shipping. Ships from United States 

I’ve had this for a couple years now. I have solved it several times and I now know the solution without doubt. It was pretty tricky to solve but it is possible with a bit of logic and a bit of chance. Either or.Here’s the description from the WW’s website:“Here is how Haym described it on Facebook several days ago "Somama is a Soma Cube where the dimensions of some of the pieces have been stretched a little bit in various places. They still look normal and assemble into a solid cube (un...

On the Rocks, designed by Nob Yoshigahara, made by Toyo Glass.This was an intermediate challenge for me, compared to the other Toyo Glass packing puzzles.  The irregular pieces of "whisky and ice" aren't easy to put together, but there aren't so many pieces and when they fit, it feels right.  Great looking puzzle, and it includes the original box.-----Buyer is responsible for shipping which should be less than $10 for small puzzles (within USA, first-class).  Priority mail (and heavier puzzle...
