The seven soma pieces must be packed into a 5x3x2 space. Not too tough, except that the lid also has a cube secured to it and so the pieces must maneuver around the obstruction. Over 100,000 solutions, only one is assemblable with a combined 14 moves necessary. This is a difficult, elegant design. Construction of this puzzle is outstanding, with sturdy box joinery and fully beveled cube pieces. 42 copies made for sale, each signed and dated. This puzzle is shipped disassembled.
