Description
From the mind of Dr. Volker Latussek, a vexing 2D packing puzzle. Lovely contrast in the wood selections, and the usual pelikan quality.
From Kevin Sadler:
“When I received this batch from Jakub, I was rather surprised at
the name of this puzzle. It doesn't look much like an Indian meal. Dr
Latussek, a master of the unusual packing puzzle (I have still not
managed to solve Fermat or the Euklid for Nick puzzles!) has informed me
that this puzzle has been designed and named for Paul Curry, magician
and apparent inventor of the missing square puzzle. The Garapa pieces
fit into the square Acacia compartment rather like a tangram (it's not
quite the same shapes as a tangram). The aim is to tip them out and fit
them in the frame on the other side. This is extremely difficult due to
the overhanging lip. I failed initially and decided to put the pieces
back in the top frame for storage…this proved tougher than expected.
There is definitely something odd going on with the dimensions of the
pieces as they were rather harder to put back into the unrestricted tray
than they should be and some orientations just won't work. Have a
really good look at the pieces before trying to solve it and then it
will become a much nicer challenge. I didn't properly look until I'd
spent a couple of hours failing! I think I got lucky with this one – I
suspect that it is really quite difficult but will still be a really fun
challenge.”
I accept PayPal. Buyer can expect to pay $13
shipping domestic within the US and approximately $35 internationally.
Happy to combine shipping on multiple items.
