Description
Four puzzles in a set to make four different shaped polyhedra. All the puzzles are difficult to assemble. Each puzzle is individually boxed with it’s own solution. And the set is then boxed as a group. Makes a lovely gift.
Roof Vinco
6 pieces 4/5 The pieces of this puzzle are constructed from elements that are either a single diagonal 1/2 cube or two diagonal 1/2 cubes joined. The final triangular prism shape is Vinco’s Roof – two diagonal 1/2 cubes joined. Solution: There is a full solution provided but if you’re stuck and just need a quick hint you can see the footprint shown as a dotted line without looking at the full solution.
Cuboid 1
8 pieces 4/5 Vinco first decided to make a cube with these pieces but then changed the shape to a cuboid or a rectangular prism (looking like a flattened cube!). Each piece is constructed from a series of triangular elements. Solution: There is a full solution provided but if you’re stuck and just need a quick hint you can see the footprint shown as a dotted line without looking at the full solution.
Three Wedges
8 pieces 5/5 Each piece is designed with three elements. One square prism and one square prism cut diagonally to make 2 triangular prisms. All eight pieces are glued differently to create eight different pieces. The final shape is a solid cube. Solution: There is a full printed solution provided.
Octagon AC
8 pieces 4/5 All the pieces of the puzzle are constructed from elements using just two different measurements. A = length of the short side C = the length of the diagonal side The final shape is an octagonal prism. Solution: There is a full printed solution provided.
The box size of each puzzle is 100mm x 95mm x 30mm
Iggy –
My wife bought these for my birthday as I love puzzles. They are great quality but I was a bit disappointed as they were not difficult to solve. She thought they would be a challenge but took about three to four minutes each to solve. I would have thought at 4/5 and 5/5 difficulty that these would have taken longer. Solution sheets were not used as she took them away before giving to me.
