Think you have what it takes to solve it?

Originally called Conway’s Packing Box, it was developed by a Cambridge University Mathematician who said it is nearly impossible to do based on randomly trying to fit the pieces. The solution requires high analytical skills.

Mathematicians and engineers love it.

There is a brilliant step by step presentation of the analytical process required to solve this puzzle prepared by Mike Czerwinski I promise you will love this, it makes the puzzle come alive.
