Designed by Yavuz Demirhan, realized by Brian Menold, this recently acquired puzzle more than tests my patience. The three identical pieces (two one-by-three bars attached to a one-by-five bar) fit — without any protuberances — within the (five-by-five-by-five) cubic cage. It arrived assembled and I was careful in taking it apart, but after I had reassembled it a second time it no longer came apart as I expected! And by the time I did get that disassembled I had forgotten how it was supposed to come together. Complicating things ever so slightly is that one of the frame's twenty-four inside edges is a touch less than three units long, presumably a production flaw and not part of the design. I'm getting too old for this type of toy.
