"This brass puzzle was first introduced to me by Professor Bakalar in Prague. I borrowed it in Atlanta and returned it to him in Luxembourg half a year later. While in my possession, I managed to replicate it, with full permission, of course. This Cast Puzzle version may be even better than the original. It definitely remains one of the most amusing puzzles. The key idea with this one is its 'cage."
-Nob Yoshigahara, 1996
It appears like a box-like lump with a hole in it, but is actually comprised of two coiled up virtually identical pieces. You must try to take it apart by sliding and rotating the pieces. Although the pieces are angular in shape, they can be rotated in unexpected ways, making their movements quite intriguing. The theme of the puzzle is 'coil.' Designed by Edi Nagata of Japan.
The Delta puzzle is formed by joining three separate pieces that mesh with each other. It is designed by the brain-child native of Hong Kong Kyoo Wong who, with the eye of an engineer, has worked on a number of cast puzzles. While this puzzle is simple in form, its geometry somehow challenges and stirs up our creativity. The theme is the number three.
Introducing a puzzle masterpiece by Akio Yamamoto. Similar in style to the key chain version, we have raised the bar with this one, both in difficulty and design. It is vital to line up the ridges and grooves of the two pieces, both in taking them apart and in putting them back together. Don’t try to rush this one – take your time and enjoy the “Vita Dolce!”

Like the swirling shape of the galaxy…that is why this puzzle was named Galaxy. It is not that difficult to solve but one becomes totally mesmerized by the pieces that move freely. It is more difficult to put them back together than to take them apart. Take a good look at how the pieces move when taking them apart so you can put them back together again. The theme is 'knot.' Designed by Bram Cohen of the United States.
"A prize winner from the 2001 1st Annual World Puzzle Design Competition, this puzzle was designed by the young Dutch phenomenon, Oskar Deventer, who is considered to be one of the world’s brightest creators. The gear exhibits a unique kind of movement. Once together in its final form of beauty, the gear is fixed in place in the cubic box. It could very well serve as a desk decoration to satisfy a kind of smoothing, intellectual curiosity.
The key word is 'teeth.'

"At the end of the 19th century, Britain experienced a huge puzzle craze. I managed to pick up a number of the puzzles famous during that period in flea markets, despite their rarity. Based on these original puzzles from Britain’s famous puzzle period, this is one that we have successfully revived in its new form. The key part of this puzzle is the “star," which needs to be freed from the snake binding it. If only the star wasn’t so stubborn in its return to the snake."
-Nob Yoshigahara, 1983
'This puzzle was originally created by Joseph L. Litle. The idea to make this puzzle came to me after playing with a wooden copy built for me by my close, but now deceased friend, Tadao Muroi. The proportions have been changed considerably from the original plan in this new version. With this puzzle being styled after a violin and its strings, the key word here is 'strings.'"
