Product Info
How can a 4 piece puzzle be so difficult?? All you have to do is insert them into the frame… It is a Stewart Coffin design (#217) originally called “Four Fit” but renamed by Stewart after Martin Gardner’s week long efforts to solve it were in vain. Martin Gardner (1914-2010) is considered the Father of Recreational Math with perhaps the greatest puzzle mind of the 20th century. Martin called it “The finest dissection puzzle of all time”.
The ¼” thick pieces are precision laser cut from 4 different hardwoods. The base and cover measure about 6” square.
Made in Florida by Creative Crafthouse under license from Stewart Coffin.

This puzzle was just as advertised in the little blurb on the box... fiendish. I solved it, but it took several sessions. It's simplicity is what makes me like it so much :-)
