Description
The misleadingly simple goal of Knot Eight Snakes is to form a 3x3x3 cube on a base. The base already has 7 1x1x1 cubes fixed in place, and the "snake," consisting of the remaining 20 1x1x1 cubes must be folded/twisted/manipulated to fit into the 3x3x3 cubic space. Even though the puzzle comes in the solved state, once the "snake" is unfolded, it is VERY difficult to manipulate it back into the correct configuration on the base.
Knot Eight Snakes was used by the prolific puzzle designer and purveyor Wil Strijbos as his exchange puzzle at IPP20 held in Los Angeles in 2000. The puzzle comes as received at IPP20 in its original box. The puzzle did not come with any paperwork, but I will supply the successful bidder with a copy of the solution from the IPP20 exchange booklet.
I will ship within the US at insured priority mail pricing (from between
$9.35 and $12.55, depending on postal code). I am happy to ship
internationally at cost, but I cannot always guarantee that overseas
packages can be insured or tracked.
