We first met Václav Obšívac (Vinco to his friends or Vin & Co) at the International Puzzle Party.  Seen here with a very large puzzle he made recently, he says that even knowing the solution, and with many friends helping out, it took three hours to put together.

	Cube Vinco take apart puzzle Difficulty 3/5 Four identical pieces to make a cube.  Presented as an assembled cube the first challenge is to work out how to get it apart.  The pieces are shaped such that even when you've done it, repeating it (once you've got it back together again...) can be just as hard the second time.

	Ball Room Difficulty 4/5 There are three challenges to this puzzle.  1. Pack all four pieces into the base as a cube shape.  There are three solutions to this challenge. 2. Pack three of the four pieces into the base as a tetrahedron (triangular based pyramid).  But which three? That's just part of the challenge. There is only ONE solution to this challenge. 3. Fit all four pieces together to make a 4 x 4 unit square based pyramid pile of ball.  This challenge is done outside the base.  There is only ONE solution to this challenge.		Price:	QTY:
