Complex Cube - Brain Teaser Wooden Puzzle

Did you know?...

The Complex Cube puzzle designed by Bill Cutler in 1991 and is very unique wooden puzzle with superb quality.

It was originally called Splitting Headache, because the designer claims you must use both sides of your brain to solve it (where your right side is responsible for intuitive problem solving and your left side for logical thinking).

Description

The complex cube has 9 pieces. Each piece of the 9 pieces is an assembly of small cubes or parts of a cube. The object is to get them back into a 3x3x3 cube, which won't be an easy task.

Each of the pieces having a beveled edge on all sides that give the puzzle a fancy look.

Come complete with a great base. The sides of the base have Plexiglas so as to best view the cube, and it makes a very attractive package.

Crazy X - Brain Teaser Wooden Puzzle 

Did you know?... 

This unique puzzle original idea is around since the beginning of the 20th century, however, the modern version was created in 1981 by NOB (Nobuyuki Yoshigahara), a talented Japanese puzzle designer and inventor. NOB had also designed several Cast puzzles for Hanayama (for example, the Cast News metal puzzle by Hanayama is based on the same solution mechanism as the Crazy X wooden puzzle). Also known as 'X Marks the Spot'.

Description

A very clever and tricky wooden brain teaser puzzle. The objective of this puzzle is to remove the X from the square wooden frame. 
Seems like impossible to solve, but can be solve in one second, if you know how... A hint for the solution is in one of your physics lessons (think about "force" but don't use force to solve the puzzle).

Devil's Chess - Wooden Brain Teaser Puzzle

Devil's Chess, also called 'Just Fit', was designed by William Strijbos and won the Hikimi Puzzle Competition in 1990 (competition for wooden made puzzles only in Japan).

All 16 pieces and tray are made of wood. Each piece of the puzzle has 2 colors and when the pieces are arranged in the wooden tray as shown in the picture, there are actually 2 layers of 4x4. The pieces are cut in different angles and this is the reason the puzzle is hard to solve. Considers to be a very difficult puzzle.

Description

This one of a kind sixteen pieces wooden brain teaser puzzle represent all the possible ways that two pieces of 2 colors cut in different angels can be joined. The objective is to assemble the pieces into a two-layer, 4x4 checkerboards with the colors matching on both layers and with the colors being different on both layers.
