Creative Crafthouse Martin's Menace Small Brain Teaser Puzzle for Adults
- Wooden brain teaser puzzle for adults: only 4 pieces, and one of the hardest ever made. Fit four wood pieces into a compact frame. Stewart Coffin's design #217.
- The puzzle that beat Martin Gardner: the father of recreational math spent a week and could not solve it, then called it the finest dissection puzzle of all time.
- Why 4 pieces defeat everyone: not one piece rests in a corner or touches two sides at once, so every corner first, edge first instinct you have is exactly wrong.
- Real wood, made in USA: precision laser cut in our Hudson, Florida workshop with Stewart Coffin's permission. Four pieces, each a different wood, set in a floorboard base.
- The hard-to-buy-for gift: a compact wooden brain teaser that ships unsolved, small enough for a stocking or a desk, and made to stump the person who already has everything.
How can a 4 piece puzzle be so difficult??. All you have to do is insert them into the frame... It is a Stewart Coffin design (#217) originally called "Four Fit" but renamed by Stewart after Martin Gardner's week long efforts to solve it were in vain. Martin Gardner (1914-2010) is considered the Father of Recreational Math with perhaps the greatest puzzle mind of the 20th century. Martin called it "The finest dissection puzzle of all time". The ¼" thick pieces are precision laser cut and set unsolved into a floorboard base. The base measures 5.8" x 3.8" Note we also have available under a separate listing a larger size, a bit fancier version of the puzzle with base and cover. Made in USA by Creative Crafthouse under license from Stewart Coffin Note: This is our only puzzle where a solution is not provided, but can be obtained upon request at time of or after purchase.
