This lot consists of a complete set of four puzzles, crafted by Eric in 2013. This set is a unique concept and each puzzle has a unique solution, making this is a classic among burrs.
The Bookend burr is the easiest of the set and a good place to start. With a unique level 10.4 solution it's no pushover, but the extra length added to the pieces to interact with the frame helps determine piece location and in some cases orientation. A fun puzzle and a worthy beginning to the set.
The Clamped burr is a very high level 15.3.5, and is quite difficult. Because the piece lengths vary for each axis, the solver does have a significant clue as to piece location; thus the Looped burr is somewhat trickier to solve. That said the Clamped is a close second, followed by the Cornered and then the Bookend.
The Cornered burr is a very high level 14, and is moderate in difficulty. Because potentially all six of the pieces can share positions it is tricky, but there is also a fair bit of loose space and I have found a couple rotational shortcuts with the potential to somewhat simplify the high level. That said, this is by no means an easy puzzle.
The Looped burr is a very high level 15, and is probably the most difficult of the Constrained series. Because potentially four of the pieces can share a position it is trickier than the similar level Clamped burr.
Only 40 copies of each were made for sale. Puzzle is signed and dated.
