Descripción

Safecracker 50 is a handcrafted wooden math brain teaser designed and built by Dave Janelle and the family workshop crew in Hudson, Florida. Five rotating rings (one base ring plus four top rings), hand-cut from maple and cherry hardwoods, with deeply laser-engraved numbers. The goal is to align the rings so each of 16 vertical columns sums to 50. Over 65,000 permutations exist. Only one is correct.

Palm-sized at just over 5 inches in diameter, small enough to keep on a desk, a nightstand, or a workbench, hard enough to keep coming back to.

  • Difficulty: Hard. Sixteen times more difficult than Safecracker 40 (which uses four rings to sum 40).
  • Material: Hand-cut maple and cherry hardwoods, deeply laser-engraved numbers for precision and durability.
  • Diameter: Just over 5 inches.
  • Personalization: Laser-engraved names, dates, monograms, or a short message on the base, up to 45 characters.
  • Ships unsolved. Printed solution sheet included so you (not them) know the answer.
  • Ships in one business day. Personalized orders ship in two.
  • Gift for: math enthusiasts, engineers, dads who like a real challenge, retirement gifts, STEM teachers, puzzle collectors.

What is the difference between Safecracker 50 and Safecracker 40?

Safecracker 50 has five rotating rings (one base, four top) and 16 columns summing to 50. Safecracker 40 has four rings and sums to 40. The extra ring in the 50 makes it about sixteen times harder because the permutation count multiplies. Same wheel-alignment mechanism, very different solve difficulty.

How long does it take to solve?

Hours to days. Most solvers do not crack it on the first attempt. Some never do. The chase is the point, and you can always peek at the included solution sheet.

What does the engraving look like on the base?

Deep laser engraving on the maple or cherry base, the same depth and clarity as the numbers on the rings. Up to 45 characters fit comfortably.
