Description
Award winning 4L Basket by Koichi Miura. One of my favorite packing puzzles
From the PuzzleMad blog (https://www.puzzlemad.co.uk):
"I knew that 4L Basket was going to be fun - it had won the Puzzler's award as well as the Jury 1st prize at the Design competition in 2019 and I had a brief play with Allard's copy at the last MPP and failed to solve it after a ½ hour helping me decide that I definitely needed my own copy. I tried a few of the tricks from the 4L packing puzzle but that didn't help me at all - It was definitely going to be fun. The 4L Basket was a design by Koichi Miura who has also designed several others that I have reviewed and enjoyed. It has been beautifully made by Mine from Walnut, Oak and Padauk. Like the 4L there are 4 L-shaped pieces to be fitted into a box but this time the L's are all identical and simple Triominos, the box has 2 identical entry paths separated by the handle of the basket which cannot move and has 2 holes in the sides beneath the handle. I was able to work out a few possible ways to organise these pieces inside the 2x2x3 cavity - so how can you manoeuvre the pieces past the blockage caused by the handle? . . . the tolerances of the box are such that it is quite tough to find any possible rotations for anything other than the first piece. The rotations that I had tried with other puzzles had not worked with this one - even the genius, Derek Bosch had not found this straightforward."
