Venn Puzzle - Stainless Steel

$122.00
Rating: 4.75 out of 5
Select Title

A beautiful mechanical puzzle comprising three identical pieces, die-cast in stainless steel and weighing almost one kilogram. Also, available in Black.

The Venn Puzzle is a surprisingly difficult dexterity challenge and an intriguing addition to your desk, shelf, or coffee table. The assembled puzzle creates a perfect sphere — so each piece makes up one-third of the sphere by volume.

While simple in concept, reassembling these three heavy pieces of stainless steel is deceptively complicated. Once you've mastered it, the visual and tactile appeal hold fast long after the initial challenge has been vanquished. These pieces are cast from molten stainless steel in a ‘die’ or mold at temperatures over 2500°F.

    Nice puzzle. Great quality.

    Nice puzzle. I got several of them as gifts and they were a hit. High quality and makes a good desktop item.

    Love it. Don't drop it.

    Obsessed with this thing. Conforting weight in the hand. Not difficult to take apart and put together but an addicting fidget thing. Might just keep it at home to spare my coworkers from the incessant clicking because I can't stop myself.A bit sad that I dropped it onto my carpeted floor from about a foot up and now it's so loose it kind of just falls apart too easily now. Not a fault in the machining probably I'm just sad about it. Be careful about dropping it.

    Not for the easily flustered.

    This puzzle has nearly everything. It's weighty, good looking, tricky, and fun. It even comes with a little ring stand. HOWEVER. This is not a puzzle for those with short attention, or lack of finger dexterity. You will really see the answer before you can solve it. That's all I will say on the solution. My 2 biggest issues with the item were that the packaging will become damaged after you open it. It's very nicely packed in a short tube box, and the outside is black flock with silver inlaid lettering, but they put super sticky tape all over it, and so the package gets peeled by the tape. Lastly, the surface of the sphere is a bit dull, or matte. Might have been cooler with a shinier look. Still they may have thought it would get dull and oily if you made it like that. I take care of my puzzles, so I would have preferred a mirror finish. Aside from those paltry issues, this is a great piece for your puzzle collection.

    Heavy & awesome

    Better than expected, fun to solve and is challenging even after you master it. I have many metal puzzles, this is the best.

    Very, very nice puzzle

    This is a very well made and machined tactile puzzle. It is remarkably simple, yet tricky to put together. Some people may be driven to distraction when assembling it! I advised my giftee not to open it until after the party, and that was a good move. Absolutely beautiful.One negative: This is an executive-level gift...that arrives in a white cardboard tube with a barcode sticker on it. The packaging is not attractive in the least, plus it is remarkably difficult to make your packaging for a dense metal ball.
