Twelve Straight/Twisted
This personal copy has a unique three color scheme that was unavailable on the website. This is a fantastic puzzle design. I wish
I had made more copies of it! With a staggering 10,800 solutions and only 4
constructable, it is decievingly difficult to solve...it's easy to get all but
one piece together, but that last piece is the trick! It is a very fun puzzle to
solve and displays very nicely because of the interesting joinery on the edges.
Crafting this puzzle was a challenge, which...

A Drive Down Lombard Street - IPP29 Exchange
A Drive Down Lombard Street, 2009 Exchange puzzle at IPP29. A very well-made puzzle from Brian Young of Mr. Puzzle, the object is to guide a marble through a maze that has sliding pieces moved by gravity (tilting the box) which make up the marble's path. Not only do you have to pay attention to the ball falling down into the lower level (thus making you start over), but you have to slide the bits around to give the ball an erratic path toward the goal.
