What I find to be amazing about Oskar is that he can design in anything. And I do mean anything. He has a number of the Hanayama puzzles that he's designed, he's done puzzles in wood, and he works quite a lot in plastic. He's made twisty puzzles, burrs, take-apart's, calendars, and toys! The guy is a walking puzzle! He's made so many that I wouldn't even begin to try and list them. I'm sure I'd never be able to do it. I'll bet money you have at least one design by Oskar in your collection.
Oskar attended IPP #8 at age 19 and has now attended 22 IPPs! He is a brilliant mathematician and also a nice guy. How are you going to top Oskar? [I'm just kidding about the age 19 figure, I have no idea how old he was back then.]
ReplyDeleteOn a wing and a prayer George! Oskar's something that's fore sure. I've never met another like him.
