Aleksandr Leontev - 205 Minutes (made by Eric Fuller, 2020)
from Eric's description:
Leontev's 205 Minutes is a masterpiece in both design and construction. So named because if you make one correct move per second, non stop, it will take you 205 minutes to disassemble. This n-ary juggernaut requires over 12 thousand moves to disassemble. Once disassembled, a reset mechanism allows you to quickly bring it to the original state with only four moves. It also comes with the 136 minute piece which only requires around 8,000 moves to solve.
It was a difficult decision to make this puzzle. It's so incredibly complex and requires so much precision that I thought about it for well over a year. In the end I'm glad we made it...some puzzles are so genius they just have to be realized.
made from: walnut, mahogany, maple
number produced: 86
incidental note:
if you want to swap the 205-minute piece and the 135-minute piece without going through the full solve, this puzzle can be shimmed like a padlock. it's tricky, but it works.
