Description

Although the category is in "Take Apart", Oskar's Paperclips are very much a put together puzzle and the 3 pieces interlock together. This set is absolutely stunning. Find one of the two solutions and it displays like a piece of art. this is what Cubic Dissection wrote about them: "Another classic by Oskar van Deventer, the Paperclips puzzle is rarely made, and for good reason. The length of the sticks and small surface area for overlap at the edges makes it very difficult to construct. Each corner is reinforced by a shoulder joint, then sanded flush and further reinforced with a full length spline. This is a very time consuming process, but is the only way to ensure the strength and rigidity necessary for this work of art.

The result is worth the effort. With two possible solutions, the paperclips interlock to form a beautiful sculpture once solved. At 14 moves, finding the solution is no trivial task...this is a very confusing and difficult puzzle to solve."

This Puzzle was kept in a humidity control environment (50%) and operates smoothly.
