Description

The Buffalo Nickel Puzzle is based on the Nine-and-a-half-Moves puzzle by M. Oskar van Deventer. It is composed of just three pieces that fit together in such a way to hide a secret compartment. Although the three pieces are flat and lie in a single plane, it takes a remarkable 9 1/2 moves to solve.

Originally made by George Miller for IPP 20 in Los Angeles, I believe this was subsequently reproduced by Bits & Pieces and is what is offered here.

It is basically a two dimensional three piece burr.
