Prolific Finnish puzzle designer Vesa
Tomonen is known for his seemingly simple yet fiendishly difficult
puzzles. IDENTTRICK is one such design used by sloyd.fi owner Tomas
Lindén as his exchange puzzle at IPP34 held in London in 2014. The three
wooden pieces are to be laid flat, in order to form two identical
shapes, one light and one dark. Some SERIOUS out-of-the-box thinking
and visualization are required to solve this puzzle!
The
IPP version of IDENTTRICK is no longer available, but sold for around
$25 retail. The non-IPP version is currently available at sloyd.fi for
around $22.
Note that the longest puzzle
piece has been repaired, as shown in the third (front) and fourth (back)
photos. This does not affect the puzzle at all.
IDENTTRICK
comes in its original plastic bag with its blue card insert and
instruction label, as presented at IPP34. The width of each piece is 3
cm, and the longest piece is 15 cm long. I will include a copy of the
solution from the IPP34 booklet for the successful bidder.
I
will ship within the US as a ground advantage (first class) package for $6.30, or as an insured
priority mail package for between
$10.20 and $11.00, depending on postal code. I am happy
to ship
internationally at cost (which I estimate to be around $20), but I cannot always guarantee that overseas
packages can be insured or tracked. Please do not send payment until
postage cost is determined.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding IDENTTRICK.
Thank you for viewing my auction!
