Hi everyone,

Yesterday, I got this puzzle produced by Trick & Co. Yes, it`s puzzle and not magic trick. I never know that Tricks Co produced puzzle. Does anyone familiar with this ? The puzzle seems like moving the blocks to different places but still not sure about it because I haven`t open it yet. If someone interested to get this, probably still have chance to buy it.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
Vic

It looks like you have to swap the black and red triangles over. There are usually rules to these puzzles such as
'You cannot put a larger part of the triangle onto a smaller part'
'You must move two pieces at a time'
Etc
Looks cool!

Thanks Simon :) I will try out.
A friend of mine finally try this and it is not as simple as it looks, he said. :)

Reminds me of the Towers of Hanoi but then in a different design...That's a very difficult puzzle!

It`s not Tower from Hanoi guys.
I have chance to open it. It says that there are 2 types of this puzzle, Silver and Gold. The silver one is what you see here and the gold one has no pattern on it. So we have to remember each position. Ok this is the fun part, in order to solve this puzzle, there are minimum 30.000 moves. Changing 1 piece takes 3 moves, 2 pieces takes 13 moves and with 3 moves even no computer can solve it :D As you can see at the other picture, there is auto stop mechanism in it so the moves are very restricted.

So I packed everything in place and put in back to my magic box. I`m just too old and lazy for this one :)
