Puzzles by Type > Metal Disentanglement


The puzzle is to disentangle and re-entangle the parts of the puzzle.  These puzzles are described as cast metal puzzles, wire puzzles, nail puzzles, string puzzles or rope puzzles and sometimes even tavern puzzles but the essential ingredient is that they come apart and are made of metal.

The puzzle is how to take apart and put it back together again.

Unlike other similar puzzles this local version made on the Gold Coast has an additional centre piece, making 7 pieces in total in the puzzle.

 

Pull out each stick one by one and it still stays together. Remove the middle stick and it still stays together.

Place wildwave in the base and twist it from the top and you will have an interesting piece of modern art for your coffee table.


Conquer the wildwave with a twist of your wrist.

Size: 200mm high.  Each of the rods is made from 4mm steel.  The manufacturer has treated each rod with a special solution that prevents rusting with handling.

Twisted's Sister

Twisted's Sister

Edward Hordern Puzzle Exchange  - Tokyo, JAPAN,  August 2004
Presented by Brian Young.

Another completely new design by Brian Young.  Entrant IPP Design Competition 2004

The puzzle is to separate the two nails. 

The concept for this original design was found by accident during the manufacture of our TWISTED puzzle.  Even though it appears to be similar to the TWISTED puzzle TWISTED'S SISTER is VERY different;  the moves to disassemble this puzzle are nothing like it's sister puzzle.  The only similarity with the old nails puzzles is it's simplicity and the fact that once you pick it up you can't put it down until you've solved it.

Brian has known about the puzzle for a number of years but only recently has he worked on a design that does not come apart or go back together the same as the original puzzle. 

Presented on a Torii Gate stand in keeping with the theme of this year's puzzle party held in Japan.
The nails are Gold plated.

Bent Again - Cardholder Stand

Bent Again - Cardholder Stand

DIFFICULTY RATING 2

ü Great office present

The puzzle is to remove the nails from their stand then separate the two nails.

The puzzle is presented on a stand with a groove cut along so you can stand your business cards. It makes a great inexpensive office gift!
This puzzle is also available with a plain stand with no groove cut.

A popular form of the original nail puzzle was patented in 1910 in the USA by Walter Jenkins, however it was certainly know much earlier. In fact, it was probably being played with as early as the first half of the 17th century.
Look for the extra bend Mr. Puzzle has added to increase the difficulty of the puzzle.

Size 160mm x 40mm x 65mm (to top of nails as they sit in the stand)  Weight 125 grams

DIFFICULTY RATING 3

ü From the originator of nail puzzles on a wooden stand
ü Three puzzles in one at a discounted price

For each puzzle the object is to separate the nails. This puzzle incorporates our three DIFFERENT nail puzzles.

In 1920 Gilbert Puzzle Party box sets were a popular drawing room pastime. Mr Puzzle has created his own set by grouping the three different nail puzzles together so you can have three times the fun!

Included in the set of three is GET HOOKED - a nail puzzle designed by Brian in 1998 (covered by Australian Design Registration No 138325). This puzzle is EXCLUSIVE to Mr Puzzle Australia.  The other puzzles in the set have been modified from the 'old favorites' to increase their challenge.
