If you want to buy one, they are available at http://www.eurekapuzzles.com for $75 or you can try to purchase directly from Saul which might be cheaper.<br /><br />I definitely like the idea of this one too.

I actually tried to recreate this puzzle over the weekend, but didn't have much luck. I think I have the right idea, but I didn't execute it correctly. I will ask Saul the next time I see him to see if I am on the right track. It is a Brian Pletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13379308851000087603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237973204007676066.post-16713482830351542382009-11-01T17:35:08.669-05:002009-11-01T17:35:08.669-05:00The 4 street elbows looks interesting.

Or does it all come apart and back together easily and the challenge is to just ponder on how you might re-invent the object?Steve Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237973204007676066.post-59781286608939050242009-10-26T15:56:01.691-04:002009-10-26T15:56:01.691-04:00Hi Anonymous: my email address is my full name (no...Hi Anonymous: my email address is my full name (no punctuation) at comcast.net.
