Lot 6519 - Fermat Meets Fuller

Designer: Volker Latussek
Maker: Pelikan

Box: 8x8x4cm

Notes: Pack six right-triangle prisms completely inside the restricted-opening box. Notes from Dr. Latussek:

"With FERMAT I wanted to learn how triangular parts interact with one of my typical boxes. When I talked to Eric Fuller about this, I came up with the idea of dividing a cube into six triangular parts and placing this cubic dissection in one of my typical boxes as well: FERMAT MEETS FULLER was born. Pelikan Puzzles had a lot of patience with me, because it took several prototypes to implement a very exciting solution for me. Now I wish you the same feeling."

Lot 6520 - Tube in Cube

Designer: Volker Latussek
Maker: Pelikan

Box: 8x8x8cm

Notes: Pack eight truncated tubes completely inside the restricted-opening box. Notes from Dr. Latussek:

"Place the eight logs into the box.’ This is the simple goal of the wonderful packing puzzle LOX IN BOX by Vesa Timonen. These round rods, beveled on one side, are just crying out to be twisted out of the plane. I wanted to find eight round rods that would fit into an open cube-shaped box. And to do it in a unique arrangement. For this job, I needed to understand the shape of these round rods. At times I was convinced a nice mix of eight round rods would fit into the cube in a particularly clever way, only to learn that by tilting, rotating and swapping, other fillings could be obtained. Those round beveled rods can hurt. In the end, a mix of round rods with only two different lengths won out. Unfortunately, after that, I wondered why I wasn’t using my typical box. A new problem was formulated and an intensive collaboration with Pelikan ensued. The result is TUBE IN CUBE. For this, one round rod had to be shortened. This is not pretty, but in return the round rods unfold their full beauty in the restricted box, at least the part I was allowed to discover. If you want to experience the beauty of the round beveled rods, I highly recommend practising with two rods first and only then successively increasing the number…and so my story ends as it began: ‘Place the eight logs into the box."
