Description

Den 3 – Expert Packing Puzzle

Den 3 is a packing puzzle designed by Osanori Yamamoto and produced by Pelikan Puzzles. Three Padauk pieces must fit an Acacia box whose openings impose extra requirements on the final arrangement.

Pack all three pieces into the box and completely cover its openings with the pieces. A cube assembled outside the box is not sufficient unless it meets those coverage and entry constraints.

Specifications:

  • Designer: Osanori Yamamoto
  • Producer: Pelikan Puzzles
  • Difficulty Level: Expert
  • Puzzle Type: Packing Puzzle
  • Dimensions: 64 mm × 64 mm × 64 mm (approximately 2.52 in × 2.52 in × 2.52 in)
  • Material: Acacia and Padauk
  • Components: 3 packing pieces and a box
  • Disassembly Level: 19.4.3 (move notation, not a difficulty rating)

Features:

  • Three-Piece Packing: Only three pieces are needed, but their arrangement is tightly constrained.
  • Restricted Entry: The box limits how the pieces can reach their final positions.
  • Covered Openings: The required areas of the box must be occluded in the completed packing.
  • Documented Move Level: The published disassembly sequence is 19.4.3, separate from the store tier.

Why You'll Enjoy It:

Den 3 suits experienced restricted-entry packing solvers who enjoy checking both the final shape and the route that makes it possible. A small piece count does not make its constraints disappear.
