The MARTEL wooden puzzle by Dr. Volker Latussek is a tribute to Edouard Alfred Martel, the first cave explorer. Dr. Latussek named his new puzzle after him to honor his memory. The challenge of this puzzle is to "turn holes into caves." The goal is to assemble twelve identical wooden pieces with a central hole in such a way that no hole is visible from the outside.
This challenging packing problem requires both patience and creative thinking, as the solution is surprising and not immediately obvious. The simplicity of the components contrasts sharply with the complexity of the task, making the puzzle particularly fascinating. Fitting the pieces together to form a seamless whole is a true test of patience and provides a profound sense of satisfaction when the solution is finally found.
MARTEL is more than just a puzzle – it's a monument to the pioneering spirit and joy of discovery, packaged in a challenge that would surely have thrilled cave explorer Martel. It invites you to delve deeply into the material, fostering spatial awareness and logical thinking. For puzzle lovers and fans of challenging puzzles, MARTEL is an absolute must-have and a highlight in any collection.
