Puzzles by Maker > Mr Puzzle Limited Edition wooden puzzles > 2009 Limited Edition 3 Sets of 30 - Sold Out
This series is now SOLD OUT.
Three different puzzles. Only 30 of each puzzle will ever be made in each Limited Edition set. Made by Brian Young @ Mr Puzzle.
The 2009 Annual Series of Limited Edition puzzles conforms to Brian’s stated goal of adding puzzles not generally or commercially available to his own puzzle collection. Puzzles are chosen for either historical significance and aesthetic value, not necessarily degree of difficulty although there's nothing too easy about any of this year's puzzles.
LIMITED EDITION of 30 puzzles released 27th November 2009 All these puzzles are now sold. Brian first encountered Dries's designs when he spent many puzzling hours trying to solve Dirk Weber's Exchange Puzzle from IPP28 in Prague. This inspired him to contact Dries who then told him he had designed another 20 versions of his new slant on the original idea of what a sliding block puzzle should be. What got Brian so interested was the supposed simplicity of the puzzle. LIMITED EDITION of 30 puzzles released 27th November 2009 Status: 30th November 2009. SOLD OUT. A very elegant puzzle with just 3 pieces. How hard can a 3 piece burr be to disassemble and reassemble? The final product is made from a combination of wood, aluminium and polycarbonate. LIMITED EDITION of 30 puzzles released 27th November 2009 Status: 30th November 2009. SOLD OUT. There are 22 pieces to this extremely difficult caged burr puzzle designed by Goh Pit Khiam. You'll get a feel for just how difficult it is if you watch Brian put it together on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKavWv3Jin8. It took him until he was putting the last one together to get the courage to video it. By this time he had learnt to do it without the BurrTools computer animated solution and do it in about 5 mins. The first one took me a lot longer... a lot... at least 30 minutes with the computer!
