Description
This was my IPP design competition entry in 2006. It was my tribute to Nob Yoshigahara. I so love his Unhappy Adolescence puzzle based on the P pentomino+ 2x1x1 block, that I thought I would try a U pentomino +2x1x1 block and see what I could come up with. What I found was that 9 pieces plus a single cube would make a nice 4x4x4 puzzle. The puzzle consists of 4 pieces plus their mirror images and a self reflective piece plus the lone cube. Several problems can be dreamed up and attempted. The puzzle is made of pink ivory, kingwood,
tulipwood, bois de rose, macassar ebony,ziricote, chakte viga,
cocobolo, figured Tasmanian blackwood, African blackwood and a box of Afzelia and Tropical Walnut with a Spanish Cedar lining.
Goal: Remove the pieces and construct various shapes: a 4x4x4 cube, a 5x5x2 prism, an 8x4x2 prism, and a 7x4x2 prism.
I made a sold a few of these puzzles in 2006. This one was left over.
