RIB by Andrew Crowell
Where do I start with this mad puzzle designed by Andrew Crowell and expertly crafted by Brian?As usual, Burr Tools can't help you due to the large number of rotations involved. It's complicated trying to figure out which piece goes where and the necessary sequence of moves to be followed. But it's an enjoyable journey playing with this piece of eye-candy!Stock photo of RIB is only included because I can't for the life of me remember how to reassemble it in time for the CDM auction. Be warned th...

Ternary Burr by Goh Pit Khiam
"This puzzle is a groundbreaking and highly anticipated design. Only 30 copies have ever been made in the past, and Brian at Mr. Puzzle sold them out very quicky. The Ternary burr consists of 22 pieces, with over 90 notches and and grooves. The unique solution requires 75 moves to get the first piece out, and over 90 moves to completely disassemble the puzzle. A very difficult work of art!Here is what the designer, Pit, has to say about it:"One evening, I was playing with Bill Cutler’s Binary ...

Mixed Broken Soma by Ken Irvine
Broken Soma is a puzzle hiding more secrets than one would expect. I first worked on it thinking I would solve it within minutes, but to my surprise, it took at least an hour before I had the crucial insight to solve it which put a smile on my face at Ken Irvine's sneakiness.It's called Broken Soma, because Ken took the 3 voxel piece (the small L) and broke it into 6 half voxel pieces which he then attached to the other 6 Soma pieces. Taking a puzzle that had 240 solutions down to only one! Now ...

Unbalanced 6 Board Burr by Juno
This is an unusual burr with different width board pieces giving it a unique and tricky solution. It really plays with your mind when the voxel sizes are not uniform across.Description from pluredro:The burr looks somehow a bit odd and unbalanced because of combined
different thickness plywood. The thicker pieces have 3-unit thickness
and the thinner ones have 2. Thanks to the feature, the burr has a level
16 unique solution that the ordinary 6 board burrs cannot achieve. It

Penta Cuboid T-groove Box by Juno
This is a 2 in 1 puzzle. Assemble the 12 deformed pentaminos into a cube. Assemble the 6 plates into a box for the assembled pentaminos.Figuring out the pentamino solution is not easy but really satisfying once things start to come together.Few words from pluredro:Juno modified the pentomino pieces to form a cube. As puzzle lovers
know, twelve pentomino pieces can form a 3 x 4 x 5 cuboid but those
pieces cannot form a cube. Juno changed the ratio of the element of the
pieces from a cube to...

Kryptonite by Laszlo Molnar
Kryptonite is very aptly named, because it's proven to be MY kryptonite! The 6 challenges are incredibly difficult and I've only managed to solve the ones that don't require rotations thanks to BurrTools giving me a few hints. The ones that do require rotations? I couldn't solve them. But I've gotten tired of trying and trying again, so I'll just pass this puzzle on to someone else smarter than I am.It's a 3d packing puzzle where you are given a list of 6 challenges to pick specific pieces from ...

N-Closed by Haym Hirsh in rare woods
N-Closed is a two-step challenge. First objective is to put together a 4x4x3 cube from six pieces. Once completed the trickier part is to do the same within the frame. The frame has a number of fixed cubes in strategic positions to increase the complexity.I ordered the "surprise me" version from Brian, which meant that each of the three pairs of pieces would be a different random wood. I was very pleasantly surprised when I got the puzzle, the pieces are made from Sucupira, Mexican Greenheart a...

This paradoxical 3-D packing puzzle has two unique assemblies, one using seven pieces and the other using all eight. There are two possible solutions for each assembly.The seven-piece solution seems to fill the box entirely, with little room to spare. The leftover block seems far too large to fit in the box...yet somehow, impossibly, the eighth piece does fit...
