I would seldom be able to solve a burr if given to me only as pieces. <br /><br />Luckily for me the making of a Burrtools file is just part of the fun!Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649523779226834414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341941751324943000.post-39804550523443049642013-06-10T13:40:28.246+01:002013-06-10T13:40:28.246+01:00I don't often get enough time to really enjoy ...I don't often get enough time to really enjoy these puzzles but in this case I did because Junichi gave me his original prototype disassembled and asked me to put it together so I know the feeling of having all the pieces mixed up. But in fact that's how I found the alternative solution for the L Burr. I find burrs much more entertaining when given to you in pieces than taking them apart and trying to learn the solution from that.... that is of course if you manage to ever get them together :) <br />Really glad you enjoyed the L Burr so much. <br />Brian.<br />Brian Younghttp://www.mrpuzzle.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341941751324943000.post-43212234772775967772013-06-09T15:09:33.201+01:002013-06-09T15:09:33.201+01:00Yes Goetz, you are absolutely right.

I did manage it in the end!<br /><br />I hope you get Eric's puzzles soon - you won't be disappointed!Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649523779226834414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341941751324943000.post-40669482890073797332013-06-09T10:46:03.731+01:002013-06-09T10:46:03.731+01:00Kevin, I had a similar experience with the puzzle,...Kevin, I had a similar experience with the puzzle, only that no cats were involved. :)<br />The pieces of this version are a bit longer than the one on Ishino's site, so that solution will not work, as you already found out. However, it will give you some help with the target positions of the pieces.<br />Back then when I tried to assemble the puzzle from the pieces lying around in a clutter, I managed to assemble it and it took me less than half an hour without any solution. So keep on going, you can do it! ;)<br /><br />Glad to see your package from Eric arrived already. Mine was probably one of the first order, but I guess I will have to wait for a few weeks until Customs is done with it. :(<br /><br />GoetzGoetzhttp://puzzles.schwandtner.infonoreply@blogger.com
