Okay, this is an half-completed entry in our family puzzle log. I grabbed Fool’s Gold’s “Wriggle” to do with Ash, thinking without really thinking and aiming for something that was occupying but not maddening. When I whipped it out, Ash said, “whoa, that looks hard,” and I looked at it for the first time in a while. Yes it does! I thought but my mind was already on a “do a puzzle” track, so I was already opening it up, and starting to turn it over ….
when I realized, really realized, oh, it’s going to be HARD, and there’s no solve map, and I didn’t take a picture …. STOP.
I had dumped out half the pieces, which were themselves still somewhat interconnected. There was no way we would finish the whole puzzle in a short amount of time, if I finished emptying it, and then there was no good way to get it home in an unfinished state. So I set about the minor challenge of assembling the empty half from the emptied pieces. I documented it in painstaking detail in case I had to disassemble quickly without finishing.
This is not wood; it’s some sort of polymer or clay. It’s described as part of a “brix series” on the Fool’s Gold website.
