Mr Puzzle - We know puzzles! Current Category Not one of the regular Hordern or Slocum categories the term Sequential-Discovery puzzle has been heard more and more recently. This category refers to to very specialised puzzles where you will need to complete a number of challenges in a particular order to do the puzzle. Usually you will have to find tools within, and determine how to use them, to complete the puzzle. Click here to see the Hordern Puzzle categories and click here for the Slocum puzzle categories. Edward Hordern Puzzle Exchange - Gold Coast, Australia, August 2007 The object is to get the 10c inside the parking meter. Make sure you reassemble the parking meter with the 10c correctly inside. This puzzle does not easily slot into one of the regular Hordern or Slocum categories so we have called it a Sequential-Discovery puzzle. Yes, it is a Take-Apart puzzle. It is also a Put-Together puzzle. There are a number of different challenges you will have to complete to do the puzzle. In this case the reassembly of the puzzle is a different puzzle to taking it apart. No external tools are necessary for disassembly or reassembly of the puzzle, although you will have to find tools within, and determine how to use them, to complete the puzzle. Puzzle made from Yellow Leichhardt. Stand made from Mackay Cedar. Yellow Leichhardt was used because of it's distinctive bright yellow colour to try to match the golden colour that parking meters on the Gold Coast are painted. Click this link to view some photos from IPP27 Edward Hordern Puzzle Exchange. Brian generally stives to theme puzzles relating to where IPP is being held and because he was close to home this year he was able to go "all out" by having Sophie, a Gold Coast Meter Maid, as his very capable (and popular) exchange assistant. Meter Maids were first seen in Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast in 1965 to try to help beat the bad image created by the installation of parking meters. Gorgeous girls in gold bikinis fed coins into expired parking meters to prevent tourists from being fined, causing quite a controversy at the time. They are still seen in Surfers today although they are generally hired by local businesses these days. Price:
