I tried it, but it seems one notch is shallow, and I couldn't figure out how to deal with it in BurrTools. There is also the "airplane shape", but this is mainly artistic and you can still enter the pieces reasonably well. BurrTools did manage to solve my version, but it assumes a full-depth notch and can't actually be assembled in the way it indicates.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10140920751826036814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325321154517773060.post-75152445022896965912013-12-16T19:46:33.064+00:002013-12-16T19:46:33.064+00:00It's a nice little puzzle!

I liked solving it into the "more aerodynamic" shape, and then back again for the next puzzler to try. :)<br /><br />Somehow it it a burr that has several a bit separated mechanisms allowing to solve it somewhat like sequential discovery puzzle, one mechanism after the other. Quite fitting if you think about who built it!Goetzhttp://puzzles.schwandtner.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325321154517773060.post-5841927800378430952013-12-16T14:22:36.699+00:002013-12-16T14:22:36.699+00:00Yip, sorry, that's what I meant by "manag...Yip, sorry, that's what I meant by "managed to find a way to achieve aerodynamic perfection".allardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02137859069894390167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325321154517773060.post-13863816547941498932013-12-16T13:47:48.765+00:002013-12-16T13:47:48.765+00:00Did you actually solve it in the end?
