Tankenötter AB |
|
Erik Johansson
created many outstanding puzzles of different kinds.
Some of them look just like simple toys, but do not be
misled--quite unexpectedly they pose hard challenges.
Just try to disconnect two wooden rings; or pair beads
in a 4-bead necklace; or release a rope loop from a
wire tangle; or made a 2-3-4 burr; or build a
two-layered log pile. There is even much more to try
and be amazed with. |
