Introducing Dewey's Dilemma - A Unique Logic Puzzle

This unique logic puzzle offers a number of engaging challenges that will delight puzzle enthusiasts and book lovers alike. The basic challenge is to arrange the 12 wooden books so that no consecutive numbers, no books of the same author, and no books of the same height are next to each other. This intricate puzzle requires you to keep track of three variables to solve it.

Features:

Distinctive Design: The puzzle features 12 books, divided among 4 authors (3 books per author). Each author's books are made from different hardwood and are easily distinguishable with laser-engraved names and titles. For example, Shakespeare's books are made from alder, Tolkien's from walnut, King's from oak, and Asimov's from maple.

High-Quality Materials: Each book is made from 1/4" thick wood, ensuring durability and longevity. The laser engraving ensures the details will last a lifetime.

Multiple Challenges: Beyond the basic challenge, there are additional challenges to keep you entertained. Fix two books from the same author at both ends and the third book in a fixed internal position, then rearrange the remaining books to satisfy the original conditions. There are 21 unique combinations to solve.
Great for All Ages: Suitable for ages 8 and up, this puzzle provides a realistic challenge for both children and adults.

Perfect Gift: Ideal as a teacher's gift, a coffee table puzzle, or a stylish desk accessory. It measures about 5.5" x 2.8" x 2" when assembled into the bookshelf.

Made with care in our Florida shop.
