Edgewise
IPP31 exchange puzzle by Pavel Curtis. A hard puzzle to classify as it is both put together and sequential discovery. The goal is to discover the "secret answer".I requested tips from Pavel to solve this, but I eventually got it. I wanted to make it available to others to have the fun of solving it!

Oskar van Deventer is well known for designing some of the most interesting and creative puzzles available. His paperclips are no exception. With two possible solutions, the paperclips interlock to form a beautiful sculpture once solved. At 14 moves, finding the the solution to this work of art is no trivial task either.

Nippon, the IPP 2001 puzzle, Wolfgang Schneider
Nippon, the IPP 2001 puzzle from Wolfgang Schneider. You take a number of 4-cubie pieces and put them together so that you have a 6 sided figure showing the same number of squares in each view, and that each view is arranged identically. Sounds tough, especially when you add the "red dot" that will appear in each of the 6 views. I never did solve this one.
