We have put four kinds of puzzles, in total five puzzles, up for auction on eBay! This time, there is one puzzle that has never been produced before and I think this is a big opportunity to get it.
We are going to donate half of the sold amount of this auction to The Animal Welfare League Queensland as we have always done.
The great Grate Puzzle puzzle which is second grade will be selling after the auction on our online shop. Four puzzles are small puzzles that were made by me (Yukari).
The details of each puzzle are here:
T-16
Juno designed this packing puzzle in 1990. The puzzle consists of all 16 T-shaped pieces that have four to seven cubic volumes. He produced only two or three of these puzzles in the past as his woodworking hobby.
The packed puzzle pieces make two layers in the box, a 6 x 6 square for the upper layer and an 8 x 8 square for the lower layer.
6 Board Burr 5x8 #1
The puzzle was designed in 2007 and it has never been produced because no one except Juno himself knew the puzzle. He neither did open the puzzle design to the public. So, this is the first time the puzzle has been sold. The puzzle has a unique level 5-11-4-3-3 solution.
Level 8 Burr
One day, Juno realized there were leftovers of reasonable size of plywood. He designed this puzzle so the pieces fit in those remaining plywood. This 12-piece board burr puzzle has 1104 solutions, and all of these require 8 moves to take the first piece apart from the assembled shape. The same as 6 Board Burr 5x8 #1, this is the first time the puzzle has become public and is being sold.
Great Grate Puzzle (2nd grade)
After the auction, we are going to release this board burr puzzle at a retail price of AU $96.00. Because this particular one has several marks of mending, we don't want to sell it as our regular product and decided to put it on auction. The puzzle has a very complex level 32-6-7-3-4 unique solution.
We are waiting for you to join the eBay auction!
