Description
"In 1980 the Dutch designer Wil Strijbos created his first puzzle and this is it. The First Cross aluminium cross. And it’s design is still as unique and intriguing as when he first created it almost 40 years ago.
At first you might think this is the same as other cross puzzles you’ve seen before. It’s not! You might also think it does not look very difficult to take it apart. It is! And once you have it apart you might think it will not be very difficult to put it back together. It is! Possibly the most intriguing thing about this puzzle is that even if you see the elements of the puzzle when it’s apart the solution is not obvious. So much so that Wil often shows the puzzle apart and I’ve included a photo below with Wil’s permission.
Recently I asked Wil to tell me the full story of how this brilliant puzzle came into being. He wrote that the best part for him was that it was created in his mind in the middle of the night. Read the full story below…
Size: 60mm x 60mm x 35mm
Materials: A very high-quality product made from precision machined
polished Aluminium. The puzzle is engraved with Wil’s signature so you
know it’s an original.
Solution: Wil is a true puzzle solver and has the philosophical view
that puzzles should not come with solution sheets. So, if you purchase
one of these puzzles there will be no solution supplied."
NB : little scratches (see photos)
Sold with the photo of the puzzle disassembled. This photo was originaly delivred with the puzzle. I don't want to show the photo because it's a little spoiling.
