Description
Another classic by Oskar van Deventer, the Paperclips puzzle is rarely made, and for good reason. The length of the sticks and small surface area for overlap at the edges makes it very difficult to construct. Each corner is reinforced by a shoulder joint, then sanded flush and further reinforced with a full length spline. This is a very time consuming process, but is the only way to ensure the strength and rigidity necessary for this work of art.
The result is worth the effort. With two possible solutions, the paperclips interlock to form a beautiful sculpture once solved. At 14 moves, finding the solution is no trivial task...this is a very confusing and difficult puzzle to solve.
Care must be taken to make sure all pieces are oriented square to each other to prevent binding while solving. Nevertheless, the splines make for a very strong joint, and this puzzle can be manipulated and solved without fear of breaking.

These puzzles are listed as part of the Reserve Puzzle Program: for each newly released puzzle on Cubicdissection, four copies are reserved. After that puzzle is sold out, they are listed one at a time in the next four Marketplace events with a one penny opening bid and no reserve. This is done to discourage profiteering and flipping by making more than one copy available as a competing identical listing.
Precision wood puzzles can be damaged by environmental changes. Please read the Caring for Wood Puzzles guide to ensure proper fit and operation.
