In the maker's words

RELEASED: 9.15.2010 PRODUCED: 36 Copies DESIGNER: Andy Turner CRAFTSMAN: Eric Fuller MATERIAL: Oak Box / Bubinga or Paduak Pieces COMMENTS: The official name is "The Five Minute Puzzle That Might Take Longer". I've been wanting to make this since I played with it during the IPP29 design competition. The designer was coy, and I didn't receive permission until Nick vouched for me...so after long ado, here it is! 5MPTMTL is a tricky little guy, with a parity issue that I'm not smart enough to explain. Since it took me (a lot) longer than 5 minutes to solve, I suppose I'm not smart enough to decipher it either. Thankfully I am smart enough to make it, and the result turned out pretty well. Each piece signed and dated; 36 copies made for sale. SIZE: 2.6" PRICE: $49 (SOLD OUT) This item is sold out and no longer available. Our Marketplace is the best source for discontinued work.
