Square Root Games 0009 Dirty Dozen Puzzle in Natural Finish Solid Hardwood

Posted on November 21, 2009 by Myler

31zcM3o6z0L Square Root Games 0009 Dirty Dozen Puzzle in Natural Finish Solid Hardwood Square Root Games 0009 Dirty Dozen Puzzle in Natural Finish Solid Hardwood Potentially a permanent fixture in the homes of puzzle enthusiasts, this challenging pastime consists of a solid-backed oak frame and 14 oak pieces of varying sizes and shapes that slide around within it. One of the pieces is narrower than the others and can easily slip through a slot located in the lower, right-hand corner of the frame. Far less easy is maneuvering the Chosen Piece there. The object of the puzzle–of which there are a dozen variations of increasing complexity (43 moves for the first, 263 moves for the last!)–is to deduce which pieces need to slide where so that the logical route for the thin piece reveals itself. If you just can’t figure some of the puzzlers out, solutions are available for $5 through a California address. –Tom Keogh
