Description
Less is More – Expert Anti-Slide Puzzle by Pelikan Puzzles
Less is More is a remarkable anti-slide puzzle designed by Dr. Volker Latussek and produced by Pelikan Puzzles. Combining mathematical elegance with beautiful craftsmanship, this puzzle offers far more than a traditional tray packing challenge.
At first glance, the puzzle appears to be a simple 7×7 packing puzzle featuring nine pentominoes. However, the true challenge begins once the pieces are inside the frame. Your goal is to create stable arrangements where the pieces lock one another in place and cannot slide.
The puzzle supports a series of increasingly difficult challenges. Arrange all nine pieces so that none can move. Then remove one piece while maintaining stability among the remaining eight. Continue reducing the number of pieces while preserving the anti-slide property. Additional challenges encourage discovering smaller stable configurations where no piece can be added or removed without breaking the structure.
The result is a puzzle with extraordinary depth, rewarding experimentation, logic, and careful observation.
