This puzzle is one of the group of interlocking puzzles called burr puzzles – it has internal voids and no solid locking piece which differentiates it from less difficult puzzles with the same external shape. It has just six pieces but it is still in our Very Difficult puzzles category.
The degree of difficulty of this puzzle is because we sell it disassembled and so you must put it together from the photo and because the internal voids and no solid piece means that there are 7 sliding moves to position the last block in the puzzle. Combine that with a unique solution and yes, it’s very hard!
Found in 1985 in Israel by famous puzzle enthusiast Philippe Dubois the inventor of this puzzle remains unknown.
Wood: This is a Mr Puzzle standard range puzzle made from stained Radiata pine and finished with 2 coats of polyurethane. The first batches of the puzzle were stained black and subsequent batches changed to our standard tan stain like in this photo.
This puzzle is handcrafted by us here at Mr Puzzle.
Size 90mm x 90mm x 90mm (each piece 90mm x 30mm x 30mm)
