By lengthening the triangular stick segments of the Permuted Third Stellation, a puzzle that resembles a nest of triangular sticks results. At first glance one might expect to be able to simply pull one of them out thus collapsing the whole thing... not so easy!
Comparing this puzzle to the Permuted Third Stellation, the additional length of the triangular stick segments eliminates one of the two solutions, and makes it so that the remaining unique solution is only able to disassemble upon one of its four axes.
In his book Puzzling World of Polyhedral Dissections, Coffin describes a symmetrical (non-permuted) version of this puzzle, however he apparently never made any himself. Lee Krasnow did make a few, and called them Fixed Sticks puzzles.
