Here is a packing puzzle that will test your wits. This puzzle
is constructed of 25 separate pieces. Each piece is made from 5 glued-together cubes of
either dark samena or light helvea - both are hardwoods (hence, the 125 cube). The pieces
are well made, with slightly beveled edges and a great finish. Along with the puzzle
pieces, and wooden rest with three walls is provided.
Depending on
your goal, we rate this puzzle as difficult to very difficult. If you just try to assemble
it into the cube shape it’s difficult. To do the same and in the
checkerboard pattern too, is very difficult.
