ODD Puzzle designed by Hirokazu Iwasawa (Iwahiro), produced by Philos
The ODD Puzzle won the Puzzle of the Year Award (Puzzlers' Award and Jury Grand Prize) at the IPP28 Puzzle Design Competition in 2008. The object is to pack three pieces inside the box. This is a nice version of the puzzles with solid, and hefty, pieces. This puzzle was still among the Top 10 in a recent poll for 3D restricted entry packing puzzles on the Mechanical Puzzles Discord group.
From the description at CD: "The ODD Puzzle is a wonderfully challenging packing problem. Three rather large pieces must somehow fit through a wholly inadequate seeming slot to fill the box. The solution is creative and satisfying! This puzzle was the grand prize winner at IPP28."
The puzzle was solved a couple times and is in excellent condition. Comes with original box and solution. Based on the size of the box, I think this was originally shipped in the solved state. However, I will be shipping it unassembled.

Buyer is responsible for shipping which should be less than $10 (within USA, first-class). Priority mail (and heavier puzzles) might be $2 to $5 more. I charge only exact shipping costs. Please contact me if you need an estimate for international shipping. If you wish to estimate shipping costs yourself, most of my listed puzzles shouldn't weigh more than 16 ounces (450 grams), and the smaller puzzles should be much less than that. I will combine multiple items for cheaper shipping--I have listed a few puzzle boxes, metal Bits & Pieces puzzles, 2D and 3D packing, and a couple of nice pieces from WoodWonders.
I can accept payments via Paypal, Zelle, or Transferwise. There will be no additional packaging or handling fees.
I try to grade condition conservatively. If the puzzle shows any sign of wear from use, it'll be a B or lower. If the puzzle looks like it did when I received it new (barring any defects), it will be graded A. Where useful, I've tried to take photos of the puzzles under different lighting conditions. All puzzles are kept in a smoke-free home maintained at 45-55% humidity.
