Product Info
Designer Alexander Magyarics writes about his design:
2D and 3D packing problems are my favourites, especially those with only a few pieces, together with a sufficient level of difficulty. I hope you will like Pincers and add it to your collection. You do not need to create the illusion of a full cube inside (like we all do with amazing packing designs by Osanori). Just fit the three pieces below the top layer. So what is the clue here? – the shapes of the pieces and box opening. Study them well to eliminate a huge number of possible assemblies (83) to fit in 3x3x3 cube. There is only one solution and the disassembly level is 9.4.3 without any rotational moves. . Have fun with this puzzle.
Difficulty: 16 (9.4.3) No rotational moves required. The brackets indicate the breakdown of moves to free each piece sequentially.
Made in a combination of beautifully contrasting Cherry & Ovangkol woods.

I am learning something about my cognition and spatial reasoning and it's not a good thing. I had tried many ways to get this puzzle to fit the three pieces into the box so that no piece is sticking out. Finally I had to watch the solution video and it seems so simple! What's interesting to me is that I had tried so many ways to solve this. There is a tendency, I think, to not see "outside the box" so to speak, and then to repeat oneself rather than trying something quite different. Now that I know how it works (and I had to pause the expanatory video a few times to get it) I will take it apart, put it away, and see if, in a few months, I can figure it out without resorting to a solution video. I'll also see if a friend can solve it faster than I could (which doesn't mean the friend is SMARTER)
