Standard Puzzle Hamster

UPDATE: Hamstermedes and the rest of the herd have finished their baths and gone to bed. What new scientific breakthroughs will they achieve between now and August? Only time will tell.

July 2022: Hamstermedes was taking a bath one day and he realized he could calculate the volume of an irregular object by its displacement. "Squeak!" he exclaimed as he leapt out of the tub. After drying off and returning to his tiny chalkboard, he began comparing his volume to that of the new puzzles in our release, and we have referenced his research in this month's update product listings.

The Standard Puzzle Hamster (M. aenigma) is a rare and remarkable species. Generations of natural selection have cumulated in a large yet consistent size, soft fur, and the ability to sit very still for photographs.

The SPH can be elusive. Known to appear only around the time of puzzle harvests, it is thought that their keen sense of smell picks up the distinctive scent of fresh challenges. Once lured from their hiding places, they may be captured by any puzzler quick-witted enough to decipher their location.

Take note! Though they have never been seen to move, they are extremely fast when no one is watching. If you want to catch one for yourself, you need to act quickly. The colony is keen to avoid detection and move on to their next hiding spot soon after their emergence. Once they flee, they will only reappear when the next crop of new puzzles is released. We never know exactly where they will appear, so keep a lookout!

Hamsters may be found immediately following the update by searching the cubicdissection.com website for clues. They appear approximately 10 minutes after the new items are released, and disappear about an hour later. Only one hamster per customer may be captured per update.

Hamster orders will be automatically combined with any previous order. We will refund any extra postage that is collected.
