This is an interlocking puzzle that stands apart from most due to its unique design. Eschewing the standard burr sticks, this puzzle uses a variety of prongs to connect otherwise identical pieces into a pleasing, "hollow" cube shape. It seems that puzzlers overlooked the beauty of granadillo as there are still a couple left at the time of this writing - jump on it while you can, for a solve that requires reason and thought once trial & error has failed to deliver.
Twelve Straight/Twisted
Fun and really addictive. I really appreciate the concept of twelve straight/twisted puzzle and this is a good challenge to rebuild.
