Description
FATOMINO – Expert Packing Puzzle
FATOMINO is a packing puzzle designed by Dr. Volker Latussek and produced by Pelikan Puzzles. Five three-dimensional pentacube pieces must fit a box whose hinged lid also needs room to close.
Pack all five pieces into the box and close the clamshell lid. A static arrangement is not enough if the pieces obstruct the lid during its movement.
Specifications:
- Designer: Dr. Volker Latussek
- Producer: Pelikan Puzzles
- Difficulty Level: Expert
- Puzzle Type: Packing Puzzle
- Dimensions: 72 mm × 72 mm × 66 mm (approximately 2.83 in × 2.83 in × 2.60 in)
- Material: Zebrano and American Walnut
- Pieces: 5 non-planar pentacubes
- Solutions: 1
Features:
- Non-Planar Pieces: Each of the five pentacubes extends in three dimensions rather than lying flat.
- Hinged Enclosure: The closing path of the lid is part of the packing constraint.
- Single Solution: The designer identifies one successful solution for this combination of pieces.
- Documented Wood Pair: Zebrano and American Walnut form the Pelikan edition.
Why You'll Enjoy It:
FATOMINO is for experienced solvers who enjoy packing problems that must work through a movement as well as in a final position. The hinged box makes spatial planning matter before the lid is closed.
