This copy is from the November 2020 release.
Blah Box is a delightful little sequential discovery puzzle box! Not a super extensive solve, but a very tricky one, which might have you fiddling for a fortnight or more - unless you're the most seasoned of solvers! And, puzzling aside, what a beautiful piece it is, just on its own. Excellent to touch and to handle.
[This copy of the puzzle has been updated with the small fix that was provided by Cubic Dissection soon after release, which prevents a potential unintended solve method.]
The following description is from the original Cubic Dissection listing, written by the late, great, Eric Fuller:Blah Box is the result of the accumulation of ideas I had while trying to design a simple mechanism for the box containing the DDD Burr Puzzle. I wanted to make a simple trick opening mechanism for DDD, but in the end, discarded the idea because it would overly increase the price of the puzzle. I did come out of the design session with some solid ideas, which, when combined, turned into a rather interesting box on their own. I was feeling rather "Blah" about my failure with DDD and decided to name this new box after that feeling.
No external tools are allowed. No bumping, spinning, or force is necessary or allowed.

Blah Box is handcrafted to very precise tolerances, and must be kept within the range of 40-60% relative humidity at all times; failure to do so may cause damage.
