The wine bottle puzzle that really works! Solve the disentanlgement puzzle and the wine can start to flow. Or why not lock up your bottle of Bundy so your mates can't steal it. If you hide the solution they'll have to solve the puzzle to get a drink.

Now you can really stump your friends as you were supposed to be able to.

First there was the Floppy Cube. Then came the Super Floppy Cube. "The Scramble Cube" is the new release name of the Super Floppy Cube in it's original Japanese packaging made by Gentosha Education. It is clearly not a cube. Rather it is a single 1x3x3 layer of a cube which does some very extraordinary moves.
The Super Floppy Cube was invented by Katsuhiko Okamoto and awarded "Puzzle of the Year" in the 2009 International Puzzle Design Competition winning both the Jury Grand Prize and the prestigious Puzzler's Choice Award. Katsuhiko's development of the amazing new mechanism that enables the Void Cube to work was what also led him to be able to create the Floppy Cube and many more puzzles that have come since.
The goal is to first scramble the 1x3x3 figure then restore all faces to a solid colour pattern like you would with the Rubik's Cube.

When setting the difficulty rating we not only took into account taking the puzzle apart but also putting it back together again once it's been messed up. And no, using the solution booklet does not count.

Edward Hordern IPP Puzzle Exchange - San Francisco, USA, August 2009 Presented by Itgel Tumen-Ulzii. Made by Zandraa Tumen-Ulzii. Designed by Zandraa Tumen-Ulzii.
When Itgel asked his father to design and make a puzzle to present at the Edward Hordern Exchange event at IPP29 the question was "What is San Francisco well known for?"
