The Karst Phenomenon cube take apart puzzle

Edward Hordern IPP28 Puzzle Exchange – Prague, Czech Republic. August 2008.   190 made.
Presented by Karst Nauta.  Made by Mr Puzzle Australia. Designed by Karst Nauta.
Original Price: AU$49.95

In March 2023  one of these puzzles resold at Puzzle Paradise auction for Euro 100 (at the current exchange rate that’s about AU$165)

The puzzle is to separate the two halves of the cube.

To solve this puzzle you need to employ a technique where you try to map the paths of the numerous gravity pins inside that hold the two halves together. It might come apart by accident if you play with it long enough but it will be very difficult to learn this puzzle by heart

Hint: Karst is a type of terrain characterised by sinkholes, caves and the like. Karst processes tend to be secretive and imperceptible because most development occurs underground over long periods of time.

Puzzle made from Queensland Silver Ash.

Size: 60mm x 60mm x 60mm.
