Three Puzzle Gift Set

Posted on August 14, 2010 by Myler

41cIRpeUQTL Three Puzzle Gift Set Three Puzzle Gift Set This fabulous wood box contains the best of the best and most popular wood puzzles of today. These top three finely crafted puzzles continue to delight and fascinate everyone from novice puzzlers to university professors. Whether for the shear brain teasing joy of the attempt, or for the interesting mathematical analysis of a solution, these puzzles will provoke higher thought and provide hours of entertainment. This three-in-one to go box contains: Snake cube: This legendarily difficult brain-teasing puzzle will have you undulating in no time. If the snake starts to constrict you, just remember: The string of cubes form a Hamiltonian path through a 3 3 3 grid graph, duh! Skill and patience will be tried when turning the snake of 27 unit cubes back into the original large cube. Burr puzzle: This wood crafted, precision-made puzzle of intersecting cuboids supposedly resembles a burr seed (that famous inspiration for Velcro) upon completion. In this classic six-piece Burr, three sets of rod pairs need to intersect with each other properly to solve the puzzle. Soma cube: Mathematician Pien Hein was a little bored at Heisenbergs lecture on quantum theory, as you can probably imagine. Instead of pondering the uncertainty of alive-dead cats electron particles, Hein, a huge fan of brain teasers, conceived of the soma cube, which contains 240 distinct solutions where the seven pieces made out of unit polycubes, must be assembled into a 3x3x3 cube. Puzzlers rejoiced everywhere. This beautiful bi-colored wood cube comes in its own box and consists of 6 tetracubes and one tricube and contains no probability clouds!

Posted on March 12, 2010 by Myler

An obsessive collection of 1,000 challenges, puzzles, riddles, illusions-both original as well as must-do classics. Jam-packed on the page and illustrated throughout in full-color, with a visual for each entry, the book, opened anywhere, is like a call to action. And once started it’s hard to stop, because at the end of every successfully completed game the puzzle-solver feels smart, successful, and at one with the beauty of mathematics.

The lie-flat spiral binding makes the hefty book completely reader-friendly. So do the answers in the back.
Customer Review: awsome book
This is one of the best puzzle books EVER!They are challenging but not to hard. The only problem is 5 days after i got it the binding broke in 4 spots. Still very satisfied
Customer Review: Fantastic Brain Challenges
I teach gifted children, and I am always looking for something I can pull out quickly for the one or two students who finish their work early. This is a fantastic resource. In fact, I’ve had to put it up on a high shelf. Otherwise, my students run into the room and grab it. The puzzles really require thinking and concentration. The variety of puzzles provides something for any type of intelligence (math, verbal, etc.) and any age group. This would also be a good coffee table book for a waiting room, employee lounge, or your own living room. Hours of building new brain cells — that’s a good thing!

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

John Deere Tractor Shaped Floor Puzzle

Posted on July 28, 2009 by Myler

31CquqbKfHL John Deere Tractor Shaped Floor Puzzle John Deere Tractor Shaped Floor Puzzle This shaped floor puzzle is a bumper crop of fun! Measuring 3 ft by 2 ft, it’s big fun. In fact, it’s so big, you get to put it together on the floor! 34 large pieces with an easy to clean surface make it perfect for little puzzlers. Finally, its tractor shape and vivid colors make it a great choice for those little John Deere fans. If your little one likes farms or farm equipment, this is the puzzle they’ll love.
Customer Review: Details incorrect in description
This is listed as a 60 piece puzzle which was one of the main reasons I purchased it. My nephew is ready for a bigger challenge; up from 36 piece puzzles. Please just note this difference. It may still be a very nice puzzle, but just was very disappointed to see it was just 34 pieces.
Customer Review: Puzzling for 4 Year Old
We purchased 2 John Deere Tractor floor puzzles as an indoor activity for our son’s 4th birthday party in the event it rained. The party theme was John Deere Tractors. He’s pretty good at puzzles but needed more help because of the oversized pieces and the outer rim of the puzzle is not squared off. We were even challenged. Still I think it’s a great buy and fun to work on as a family.

Customer Review: The White Album
I do a fair amount of Jigsaw puzzles, and this was an enjoyable one. It did not take long to complete, maybe two hours, but it was fun, and it’s large enough that both my girlfriend and myself were able to work on it without getting in one another’s way. It’s also well-made. The pieces are sturdy, the image is well-printed on them, and the whole thing fits together very well. An excellent jigsaw puzzle.

I bought this as a gift for my sister in law who loves to do puzzles but has nowhere to keep them out when she’s not working on them. This was a perfect gift for her and I have not heard any complaints.
