Complexity of Burrs puzzles?

Post by Crypton »

Can someone explain to me the complexity notation for Burr puzzles (or point me to a website explaining it)?
I.e. the original L(8)tice from Jerry Loo is stated to have 5.1.2 solution?

Hi Crypton, the notation means that in your example: the first piece needs 5 steps to be removed, the second piece only 1 more move and the third 2 more moves. Some puzzles need coordinate motion or rotations, then one rotation also counts as 1. I hope, that helped :)

Oh and if your puzzle has more pieces than the notation implies, most of the time the pieces just fall apart at that point
