Crazy Bottles |
At the recent auction organised by Jacques Haubrich, I proved to be less successful than Allard and only managed to get one puzzle but did manage to get it for a very reasonable price. This new one by Jean Claude Constantin is the Crazy Bottles puzzle. The aim is to divide the 22 balls into 2 groups decided by the roll of the dice - using the gates to move them either into a segment that takes 7 balls or the other which takes 12 or by emptying the whole of a section into the store beneath. This is surprisingly difficult - so far I have only managed 1!! Very striking and nicely made as usual.

Wil has been at it again! |
Another update from Wil Strijbos did not show any new metal puzzles but these lovelies from JCC were available. The Bi-Nary needed a little remedial work with wood glue but works fine now. It looks particularly confusing! The other one is the N5.
