The puzzle is to stack the three Musketeers, Athos, Porthos & Aramis, joined by d’Artagnan so they are self supporting in the frame; ie: no loose parts. You must be able to pickup the frame without touching the Musketeers, so that the Musketeers do not fall out.
The puzzle was designed in 2010 by Arcady Dyskin & Pantazis Houlis, both University lecturers with Engineering backgrounds from Western Australia.
Size: 85mm x 70mm x 28mm
The frame is made from Papua New Guinean Amoora (sometimes known as Pacific Maple). The 4 pieces are from Queensland Silver Ash, Queensland Silky Oak, Western Australian Jarrah & Queensland Blackbean.
