Years later, I discovered that this puzzle was originally designed by Stuart Coffin, and went by the name "Four Corners" (amongst many others). I've got a copy of Coffin's "Geometric Puzzle Design", which is a good reference and a good resource, but I had a hard time figuring out from the diagrams how the puzzle was formed - my geometric memory was a little hazy. Coffin remarks that the puzzle can be made out of a few geometric primitives, but I couldn't get a good mental image of the actual shapes of the..."

"Burr puzzles are interlocking puzzles known in Europe and Asia since at least the 18th century." I first picked "David Winkler's favorite level 5 burr". This is a "notchable" burr meaning you can construct it entirely by notching the pieces. I used a bit of red-oak I had laying around. This burr is 6 units long, 2 wide. The unit size in my case is 3/8" which I found a good size. The design in this case is a "5.4" meaning there are 5 moves required to remove the first piece, then 4 to remove the..."

One of the toys in my bag was a plastic burr puzzle - the sort of puzzle where you pull out one piece, and all the other pieces fall apart in your hand, never to be reassembled, and one piece ends up in the couch, dooming your best intentions to figure it out anyway. As this puzzle was designed for small people, I figured I'd be able to solve it quickly, and after a day or two of fiddling with it while watching television, I got frustrated and resorted to writing a Python program to analyze the puzzle and report solutions. As it turns out, there are two independent solutions, after you remove rotations and reflections. The plastic pieces are definitely made to have an 'inside' face to them, and I was wondering if my program might find a solution where the inside faces were exposed, but it turns out that both solutions have all..."
