Five Pairs
This was Wei-Hwa Huang's IPP28 exchange puzzle. The aim is to match up five pairs among the ten pieces (two are shown in the photo) so all the pieces can nest in the cylindrical container. The problem can be interpreted in terms of a connectivity graph.Top has on it "(c) Wei-Hwa & Oskar", the latter referring to Oskar van Deventer.

Exploding Ball Puzzle
Assemble ten identical pieces (plus a small icosahedron) into a 5 cm
diameter ball. This puzzle was 3D printed by Shapeways and dyed in 5
colors by me. The core is a Game Science D20 die (included).This
puzzle was designed by Stephen Chin, based on a Wayne Daniel puzzle. In 2010, the wooden version won an
award in the IPP puzzle design competition. This is the same puzzle available in my Etsy store, http://www.etsy.com/shop/polypuzzles.It is difficult to achieve a good fit with these p...

Snakes in a Plane
This was Dave Rossetti's IPP28 exchange gift, in Prague, 2008. His accompanying sheet says, "Snakes in a Plane is based on the Rush Hour concept by Nob Yoshigahara. By using spiral pieces, Oskar made cheating impossible. Aubrey developed a special challenge that takes as many moves to solve as to reset... Production was done as a combination of 3D-printing and laser-cutting." He describes this as a Sliding Piece Puzzle.

2 HALVES CAGES 4A (Ash Wakapou) (Benedetti/Vigouroux)
Description
:
This
non-millable six piece burr is surrounded by a cage split into two
mirrored halves. Not only must the solver figure out the burr itself,
but they must also understand the burr within the constrains of the
cage. That alone would be difficult, but figuring out how to start
with one half of the cage and put the puzzle in a state which allows
the addition of the second half is the real trouble. With a unique
level 17.14.9.5 solution, this is a very very difficult puzz...

Kim NoPack Packing Puzzle
Made by Eric in 2008 and in his own words :
Ronald is one of my
favorite designers out there. He has a talent for puzzles which are not
only challenging, but also very aesthetically pleasing. Kim NoPack is no
exception. Using a simple set consisting of ten pieces he has devised a
puzzle which is tricky and interesting to solve. While the pieces are
symmetrical (two pairs of mirrored sets plus an outlier), the solution
is decidedly non-symmetrical. There are several interlock...
