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.
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.
