Ovolo 8 piece Yavuz Demirhan designed burr

Made for the Edward Hordern IPP36 in Kyoto, Japan. August 2016
Designed by Laszlo Molnar. Made by Mr Puzzle.

Price: 44.00  Some of these puzzles are still available at our eBay shop https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/252596602543 

In February 2024  one of these puzzles resold at Puzzle Paradise auction for Euro 45 (at the current exchange rate that’s about AU$75)

 

A very attractive 8 piece seemingly interwoven burr puzzle assembled into a cube shape.

As soon as Brian saw this design published by Yavuz Demirhan on Facebook he immediately wrote to Yavuz to get permission to produce it.  He knew it would be a winner!  A nice balance of wood interwoven with acrylic makes a good looking puzzle.  This puzzle is not so difficult to take apart.   But mix up the pieces, walk away and forget about them, come back later and you’ll find it quite difficult to put back together. There are many false moves and dead ends; 42 false assemblies and just ONE level 5 solution.

Yavuz Demirhan has been creating his own puzzle designs in 2010. He says he can never stop his work as a metagrobologist now because he loves to see people enjoying puzzles.

The puzzle is made from 6 pieces of clear 10mm acrylic combined with 2 pieces of Queensland Blackbean wood.
Size: 70mm x 70mm x 70mm
