What a prestigious name for a tiny little puzzle. I think this is a real cutie. I picked this up ages ago and haven't gotten around to playing with it. The puzzle consists of 10 pieces; a black base, and 9 pieces to insert-not two of which are alike. I Brought this along for my puzzling between test takers on Saturday and am glad I did. I was very disappointed with the Pesky parrots, but not so this one. Once I finished the first puzzle, I dumped these out. Nice and easy I figured it would be. A walk in the park and all that. 10 minutes and I would be done. Well, not so. It took me about 15 to solve it. Not a tough puzzle, but one that kept me entertained for the down time. I would recommend this one to all who like a bit of a challenge, but not too much of one. By process of elimination, you can work out where each piece can and cannot go. There are a few solutions I'm sure. I dumped and the pieces out and put them back in three or four times during the afternoon.
I'm guessing this one would be too frustrating for the bug until she's a bit more of an experienced puzzler. So if you want to irritate your co-workers, this might be one to hand over.
I don't have to bring in puzzles to irritate my co-workers! It seems to happen naturally!!!
