Description
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
The box contains a single hidden drawer that can only be accessed by moving its panels in the proper order. The unique 3-toggle system used for its panel locks were gleaned from an ancient calculating machine I once saw on the history channel. (I am happy to send pics of the inside to anyone who desires them – because the internal mechanics really is astounding and it will not really give away much of the solution.) The result is a very challenging puzzlebox that can be solved through logic, but with constantly changing solution patterns.
Originally, these puzzleboxes came with instruction booklets, but somewhere along the way I lost them. Perhaps this was fine because I have been told that these instructions were actually more confusing than anything else. Since I have no desire to spend hours redesigning new booklets for the few remaining puzzles I have, I simply offer a written set of instructions to accompany them.
Only 25 of these puzzles were ever made, and this one is limited edition number 21 out of the series. This particular box, while in perfect working order also does have a small external crack that you would be hard pressed to find. In fact it was so small that I had a difficult time getting it to show up in any pictures.
More pictures and the original sales description can be found in the “discontinued puzzles” section on Cubicdissection. Also, I have two more of these puzzles that if I can get working will be listed on next auction, so there is no need to get too crazy on bid prices.
