I'd vote for the Sandfield Salt and Pepper shakers if you're asking for suggestions...

I think I may leave that one until you've had the opportunity to solve it at our next get-together.

I've also gone through my Flickr page to create some kind of order amongst the puzzle chaos. So my pictures can now be found in sets depending on their puzzle type (burr, take apart etc.). It's not perfect but it does make it a bit easier to find things.

On the off chance, does anyone happen to know the original designer/manufacturer of the four piece jigsaw?

...some yobbo wrote a blog post about them recently (think he called it "Variations on a theme" or something) - there's at least another plastic version by Thinkfun [http://www.thinkfun.com/4piecejigsaw ]- and that doesn't show any attribution, so I'm guessing it's not known...

"Variations on a theme". That does sound familiar....can't remember where I heard it from though. Must be one of those puzzle yobbos like you mentioned.

I have seen the ThinkFun version before, but like you say there isn't any mention of a designer. I guess it's just one of those 'from somewhere in time' puzzles. Probably by STC like everything else!

...who is this 'STC' of whom you speak and has he/she solved a Revomaze? i.e. are they a real puzzler?

We could always ask Chris to send him one. But I don't really want to be known as one of the people that finally lead Stewart to madness.

...yeah, I suspect we'd have an awful lot of people to answer to if we engineered that....(and the world would be a significantly poorer place!)
