Description
Yes U Can – Advanced Covering and Packing Puzzle
Yes U Can is a covering and packing puzzle designed by Frederic Boucher and produced by Pelikan Puzzles. A covering challenge and a separate box-packing task share the same set of pieces.
Use the five pentacubes to conceal the Y-shaped piece completely, including through the holes in the covering pieces. Then explore the additional challenge of packing the pieces into their storage box.
The designer identifies George Sicherman's Cover Up as the inspiration for this puzzle.
