Bill Cutler - Mega-Six by Mr Puzzle - Australia
Bill Cutler first used a computer program to analyze six piece burrs in 1974 but it took until 1990 to analyse all possible six piece burr combinations.

In theory the pieces should fit together in 20 different ways however, the reality is that you can physically only put the puzzle together in one of...
