That looks/sounds like an interesting puzzle, but in order to make it happen he needs 'only' 960-ish more backers in 32 days... Sounds a bit optimistic?

I've followed a lot of Kickstarter projects, and I don't count anything out until it's over. Some you get a feeling about, but there are a lot of people who go after things the last minute and make HUGE changes in the funding amounts.

also you say that each puzzle is unique. does this mean that if i buy two puzzles one may be easier than the other? that they all have different solutions, but similar styles? or just that they all have different serial numbers?
Every puzzle has a different solution, some may require more turns, more rotations or more axis movements but what ever one you do get, they are all solvable.
I started thinking this might be a lot like a revomaze, but instead of pushing or pulling the shaft, one uses the plungers on the ends.

No, we've left things in remote locations for future civilizations to discover!

Or to be eaten away by time.

This could possibly become one of those things too. Looks hefty enough to sink rather well.

Future archaeologists will find the sunken Silver and put it in museums next to the Antikythera Mechanism for people to speculate on it's meaning.

Well Count me in. Looks like a good cause and a fun puzzle. Anytime anyone says the "worlds hardest xxxxx I'm usually interested. Hopefully the puzzles can get made even if all the funding doesn't work out.

Theres actually a thread started on it already!

Off topic>Other puzzles of interest> A claim to the worlds harest puzzle.

Theres some good info in there as people have asked questions about how its similar to a combo lock or the cryptex usb gadgetron. Take a look! Seems like a fair few have backed that project already :D

Edit: Two topics merged! Thanks mods!

The amount of backers has nearly ground to a stop already though. Only £300 was raised over the last 24 hours. Im not feeling optimistic :(
