Nova Plexus Puzzle (Brass)

DESIGNER: Geoff Wyvill MATERIAL: Brass SIZE: 2.75" (7 cm) Nova Plexus is a self-supporting puzzle structure made from twelve identical, precisely machined metal rods. This sculpture has been over 40 years in the making! Steve and Ali first learned of it in 1994 reading Jerry Slocum's book "The Book of Ingenious and Diabolical Puzzles". The original designer, Geoff Wyvill, had originally intended to make a limited edition of 500 from 1/4" stainless steel. In 1978 he made 26 copies and then moved to New Zealand. None were made thereafter. 40 years later, Two Brass Monkeys have worked with Geoff to complete the run. Each purchase of the brass puzzle includes: A brass copy of the Nova Plexus puzzle sculpture. A pouch to hold the Nova Plexus pieces while it is unassembled. Rubber bands to help with the assembly of the puzzle. Please note that this puzzle sculpture does not come with a solution. A link to a video showing the Nova Plexus being assembled by Geoff is included. The limited-edition version of this puzzle crafted in stainless steel is available here .
