Description

This is another wonderful packing puzzle from Osanori Yamamoto. Borrowing from Kevin Sadler:
“My copy of Tulip 1 is made from a vibrant red Padauk and
contrasting Wenge. The name seems to allude to the shape of the opening
in the box. At first glance, it appears like a standard 2x2x2 shaped gap
but after a moment of play with the puzzle, it rapidly becomes clear
that the opening is severely restricted by a diagonal segment covering 2
of the interior corners. Osanori has used this method of constraint
quite a lot over the last year or so and it really ups the level of
challenge. Having taken the pieces out from the frame, I discovered that
one of the pieces was particularly complex and should severely restrict
the ways the pieces can be inserted. Maybe that will make it an easier
challenge? Who am I kidding? I even struggled to find a 3x3x3 cube
assembly which covered the large hole at the front and the unit hole
opposite at the back. Eventually I found the real challenge, that large
complex piece is heavily constrained and if I place it first then the
placement of the other 2 pieces is made very difficult. The key to this
is to think and try and use every single feature of the puzzle. The
holes are not only for covering they are also intended to aid the
movement of the pieces. I worked on this one for 3 days before my Aha!
moment hit me and I packed the puzzle properly – it is a genius
challenge. The total move count is 18 which is an indication of the
difficulty (disassembly level 13.3.2).”
