Description
Up for Auction is Dan Lock- A from Dan Feldman. Brand new, and arguably with of the best Puzzle Locks to be found.
A true challenge and an absolute must have! Here are quotes on this:
.
DanLock is an original puzzle lock designed by Dan Feldman, Israel. It comes with two keys: one key is attached to the shackle and the other one is broken... It is your job to open the lock, and then to get it back to its original state.
.
“I wanted to let you know that solving your puzzle has been an absolute delight… Just when I thought I had the solution I found I did not. Upon opening the lock, I discovered I'd only started. It was like peeling the layers of an onion. I finally began laughing at myself as it seemed each time I had outwitted your diabolical little masterpiece of metal, it had in fact out-foxed me! DanLock deserves a place in the puzzle hall of fame. Thanks for a wonderful experience” - Jim Garrott, USA
.
Trick locks versus other puzzles
.
The problem with most trick locks, from the ardent solvers point of view, is that the large majority of them consist of finding just one secret in order to open them. So for most people you can either solve it . . . or you can?t. By contrast, a Soma cube or a set of Pentominoes provide a gradual solving process as well as providing a variety of different puzzles. You can get many hours (days, weeks, even) of enjoyment from the latter, but only minutes from your average puzzle padlock. Unless, of course, you are unable to solve a particular lock and enjoy thinking about how to solve it for hours on end! To a lesser extent the same applies to many puzzle boxes. So it is always with some surprise and joy when I find a padlock that consists of several puzzles and keeps you guessing for some considerable time. I recently found a lock that fits this description exactly. If I had to give away my entire collection of locks ? there must be a hundred or two hundred of them ? and keep only three, this recent acquisition would be one of them. As the other two are rather nice antique ones, we need not consider them any further here. To my way of thinking, the new lock is easily the best of the modern padlocks and is called ?DanLock?.
.
DanLock
.
Most padlocks, once opened, are easy to close: not so the DanLock. In fact it is rather more difficult to get the lock back to the same state as it is delivered to you. Altogether it involves the solving of at least three quite distinct puzzles, which will keep even the ardent enthusiast occupied for some time. Well it kept me occupied . . . DanLock is the creation of Dan Feldman......Edward Hordern
