We finally released Juno's new puzzle "Aussie Crystal" this morning.
The new puzzle is the same as a traditional 9 piece burr puzzle commonly known as Japanese Crystal or Great Pagoda but Juno designed it to consist of six complex and unusual shapes.
As you can see in the picture below, the pieces are complex shaped. Therefore, Juno glued each part together to make the shape of the pieces, so Juno carefully chose the construction to have at least two unit squares of gluing surface. Some of the end parts are also reinforced by bamboo dowels.
The puzzle is difficult to solve but is not extremely hard, and it could be solved by people who are not used to playing with a puzzle. If you are able to play with it with perseverance and have a little talent for puzzles, you will have no problem..
