The No Fit is one of our most popular wood puzzles. It features a very clever design by Niek Neuwahl.  The object of the Impossible No Fit puzzle is to arrange the puzzles pieces so the small cube/square puzzle piece will also fit in to the larger opening of the puzzle's base. Believe it or not the small amount of available space present when the puzzle is in the unsolved state equals the area of the small cube piece.
