"For the last ten years, Dr. Volker Latussek and I have been good
friends, but recently something unexpected happened: there should have
been just one solution for Euklid, but I found 22, and there could be
more! Then apparently Dr L. lost a wager that I was not even aware of,
and was forced to name his next design after his new-found nemesis. I
can confirm that this time he got it right! Euklid for Nick is actually
for everyone, even kids-anyone looking for a challenging and rewarding
puzzle solving experience. And I feel the new puzzle combines the best
attributes of its two predecessors. Euklid had seven blocks of various
sizes, making it awkward for us to keep track of our failures. On the
other hand, Euklid for Kids teased us with only three pieces that didn't
cooperate. This time we're again presented with seven blocks, but only
two different sizes. They are still not terribly cooperative, but at
least we get a more generous opening for the box. But of course, there
is plenty of room for rotations! If the Euklid story is a trilogy, this
is a fitting finale. I have mixed emotions having my name associated
with this design, as I really had nothing to do with it, except perhaps
reminding Dr. L of the virtues of a puzzle with a unique solution! And
this one is unique in many ways. If you enjoyed any bit of the previous
two, you will not be disappointed with the latest Euklid episode.”
This puzzle was crafted in Europe with absolutely fantastic
quality. Each of the puzzles of Pelikan design are unparalleled in their
class!
Every piece of the puzzle is precisely cut and very well made; you
cannot find its equal anywhere else. The diversity in wood makes each
puzzle a unique masterpiece.
