The painted earthenware "Cock of Barcelos" puzzle jug was Portuguese puzzle collector Carlos Oliveira's gift in the puzzle exchange at the 22nd International Puzzle Party (IPP22) held in Antwerp in 2002. The jug has no lid and no obvious opening to fill it. Trying to pour water from it the usual way will make a mess. The goal is to figure out how to fill the jug with water, and then how to drink the water without spilling it.
"Cock of Barcelos" comes as presented at IPP22 with its original instruction sheet. I will provide a copy of the solution to "Cock of Barcelos" from the IPP22 exchange booklet.
I will ship within the US at insured priority mail pricing (likely from between
$9.75 and $12.60, depending on postal code). I am happy to ship
internationally at cost, but I cannot always guarantee that overseas
packages can be insured or tracked.
Thank you for viewing my auction!
