I purchased this with the assumption it's simply a slight modification of Professor Spellbinder's 'Winston Freer's Tile Deal' which in turn is a modified but examinable variation of Winston Freer's 'Tile Puzzle', which originally brought a frame into play with these kinds of puzzles. If you know the mathematics behind the principle utilized in these geometric curiosities, Tenyo has built a cleverly gimmicked frame and case that burns that bridge in even the minds of those in-the-know. Winston Freer himself would be stunned with this one. Well done Tenyo!
The entire puzzle (case and all) measures 4 3/4" X 5 1/2". The tile puzzle is perplexing enough for lay people , using just the 7 pieces, they can be tossed in any pocket (they're tough plexi-glass) and performed anytime the heart desires. The frame itself isn't needed for the geometric puzzle to work, its only purpose is to create the additional illusion of the puzzle's dimensions remaining unchanged as each additional piece is 'absorbed' into the puzzle. This is where Tenyo cleverness comes to play.
Of the new line this is my favorite and I think a definite Tenyo collector's piece. Very highly recommended. Pre-order now!
