"Bottleneck" is a 2-dimensional assembly puzzle from the incredibly creative and crafty mind of prolific and very popular puzzle designer Goh Pit Khiam. It was beautifully laser cut and engraved by popular and prolific puzzle craftsman Walt Hoppe (Laser Perfect), and used by perennial Exchange participant Rosemary Howbrigg as her exchange puzzle for the IPP26 Puzzle Exchange at the Boston Puzzle Party in 2006. The object of the puzzle is to place the 5 pieces into the restricted opening frame. The solution requires 12 steps.
The puzzle is as it was received at IPP26 in 2006 in Boston. It came with minimal packaging. I will provide a
copy of the solution to the Bottleneck Puzzle from the IPP26 booklet.
I will ship Bottleneck within the US as a ground advantage
(first class) package for between $7.50 and $8.50 depending on postal
code, or at insured priority mail pricing for between $10.40 and $12.10
depending on postal code, if preferred. I am happy to ship
internationally at cost, likely around $22 for an object this size, but I
cannot always guarantee that overseas
packages can be insured or tracked. Please do not send payment until the
postage cost
is determined. Note, sadly, that tariff wars may be in effect for
packages received in certain countries.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding my copy of Bottleneck.
Thank you for viewing my auction!
