Creative Crafthouse Penny Packer 16 Wood Coin Packing Puzzle for Adults
Product Description
Creative Crafthouse Penny Packer 16 Wood Coin Packing Puzzle for Adults
- Looks like loose change, plays trickier than it looks: pack all 16 mint pennies flat into the recessed wood frame with no overlap. The 16-coin version is the real challenge, and only one arrangement actually solves it.
- A Packing Puzzle: the pennies pack so tightly that the final coin takes a careful, deliberate seat, and that precision is what leaves a single solution. Stuck? The printed solution sheet is in the box.
- Everything is in the box: the wood board, all 16 mint pennies, and a printed solution sheet. No batteries, no setup, nothing extra to buy, so it is ready to solve and an easy win for anyone who is hard to shop for.
- Pocket-size and truly handmade: just 5 by 4 by 0.5 inches, light enough for a desk, shelf, or bag. Each one is cut and assembled by hand in our small Hudson, Florida family workshop.
- For adults who want a tactile logic challenge, not a quick five-minute win: a thoughtful, original gift that lands every time as a stocking stuffer, white elephant pick, or desk piece they will not already own.
Based on the popularity of the 10 Penny Puzzle, I did some research to find a more challenging penny packing model. This is it..... your goal is to put 16 pennies (mint pennies provided with puzzle) into the quadrant sized opening. There is one unique solution and the pennies will just fit. They use 74.7% of the available area. Good luck finding it quickly... I think 20 minutes would be an excellent solution time. Base is cut from floorboard for durability, water and scratch resistance and to give it a nice weight and feel. Top section is birch ply. Comes packed unsolved, but solution is provided with the puzzle. Packing puzzles are an interesting branch of mathematics which you may want to check more into if you are so inclined. Made in our Hudson, Florida workshop.
