http://puzzleexplorer.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
The exploration of a junior puzzler in this vast puzzle world! Sunday, February 24, 2013. Inventor: Oscar van Deventer. This is the Medallion puzzle, invented by the puzzle genius Oscar van Deventer and brought to me by Puzzlemaster. Thanks Puzzlemaster for sending me this puzzle free for review. I think it just looks brilliant with the Gold &. Silver anodized plates and it's medal shape! All in all another great Oscar design with excellent Hanayama quality - for my two cents, when those meet together, y...

http://puzzlinginwonderlands.blogspot.com/2015/08/icesolute-difficult-puzzle.html
Not every puzzle is intended to be solved. Some are in place to test your limits". Thursday, 6 August 2015. Sometimes you want to try things, you want to experiment some kind of puzzles. Metal puzzles, wooden puzzle, etc. that's common. Ruber puzzles a bit less. But ice puzzles.never seen any in any blog. So I thought I needed to try that first! So let's begin with the pieces: there are 9 pieces composed of 4 cubes. The ice pieces slip a lot on the plate and the puzzle falls a lot, but you need to hurry!

The exploration of a junior puzzler in this vast puzzle world! Saturday, July 13, 2013. Scott's Wonders 1: Stewart Coffin's Involution Puzzle. ST: 15 min by Kevin Standard. How time pass by! I am ashamed to have not kept my promise! Around the end of last year I discovered the Rosebud surfing in the puzzle blog-dom (they do a great job of bankrupting puzzlers, you know who you are! And no, this amateur is not good enough to be one of them! The pictures really do bad. Advertising for Scott-especially mine!

Puzzling in wonderlands: Ladybird
http://puzzlinginwonderlands.blogspot.com/2015/07/ladybird.html
Not every puzzle is intended to be solved. Some are in place to test your limits". Thursday, 2 July 2015. Like usually with Robrecht's puzzles, the goal is to free the euro coin. And Robrecht's puzzles are the only ones with which you earn money when you solve them! Ok, I know, you will say that you have to spend some money before to get it. but still). To do that, you need to pull and push the antennas while rotating the 2 disks that are under the acrylic. And when you align both lines (like above), the...

http://www.puzzlemad.co.uk/2015/05/not-too-chicken-to-pull-its-legs-off.html
A mechanical puzzle blog from a grown man who should know better! Sunday, 3 May 2015. Not too chicken to pull its' legs off! It's a wooden chicken. I didn't realise until after I had posted but this is my 300th blog post since I began 4 years ago in March 2011! What a lot of puzzling experience! What a lot of cash gone! Luckily this commemorative post (and the next) are about the work of truly fabulous craftsmen. Eric Fuller recently put up an update on his Cubic dissection. And I was caught by surprise!

Puzzling in wonderlands: Cast box
http://puzzlinginwonderlands.blogspot.com/2015/05/cast-box.html
Not every puzzle is intended to be solved. Some are in place to test your limits". Thursday, 14 May 2015. It's long time that I have not reviewed an Hanayama puzzle, so here we are: the cast box! This is a pretty easy puzzle (does not mean not good! Which goal is to free the metal ring. To do that you have to go through the different faces of the cube, rotating at the same time the ring. I tend to say that solving it is easier than reassembling it, what do you think? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

PuzzleMad: Creative Crafthouse - Soma cube (craftsman edition)
http://www.puzzlemad.co.uk/2011/03/creative-crafthouse-soma-cube-craftsman.html
A mechanical puzzle blog from a grown man who should know better! Sunday, 27 March 2011. Creative Crafthouse - Soma cube (craftsman edition). Another puzzle I bought from Creative Crafthouse. Was a rather nice medium sized Soma cube made from rubberwood, stored in a matching well made box. Puzzle collections should include a Soma cube! I had one made from mahogany when I was a kid and I have no idea what happened to it! It is not particularly difficult but does require some thought. I say again that All.
