What is your "Holy Grail" of puzzles?

[TheWaddler]

Just wondered if you were aware of the "King Cubi" which has around 1500 moves I think?

1536 Moves actually....... and no I wasn't, thanks

ooo and that just reminded me of the Kugellager 7 with 4802 moves, i'll take that

this was just a post on the Mr Puzzle Facebook Page but you can be added to his mailing list from the website here, though i haven't actually received one yet

Thx!!

the only problem with the Cubi's is the number of moves is very procedural... not a lot of thought involved (other than losing track which way you are going)...

I think the same is true of the Kugellager as well ....

hmm having given this some considerable thought over the weekend I'm really no closer to finding my Holy Grail

Sure there are a couple of puzzles I always take on holiday with me (Rubik's Cube for example) but would I spend eternity with one? Possibly

I'm a big fan of small clever puzzles Wil's original cylinder goes EVERYWHERE with me (well so long as I have my rucksack on me ) and I'm currently lugging Lotus as well as not only is it clever it's also beautiful

Ultimately, if it came to it, (and not strictly a puzzle) I'd most likely take my Geomag with me I've probably wasted more time on that stuff than I have on Lego in the past 8 years or so

Plus if you were stranded on a desert island with it you probably have enough to build a small city for yourself!

yeah that's true, but i like the repetitive procedural puzzles, simply because of the shear quantity of moves they can generate. Which is why I'm currently working on the Cannich Burr (level 42), Tiros 28 piece Burr (level 150) and have all three Kugellagers on the way (7, 8 and Berlin IPP Limited Edition). I'd also at some point love to get a Super Cubi and King Cubi (once i have the means and the money)

It's an old thread but i thought i'd pitch in since there are new puzzles out there.

If you want a puzzle to occupy your mind and time for as long as possible, maybe you should bring the Generation Lock? Allard wrote about it here:

Perhaps not the most stimulating puzzle to bring, but you wouldn't solve it and then be out of puzzles for the rest of your life och until rescue at least.

Come to think of it, isn't the island itself the ultimate sequential discovery puzzle?
Goal: Extract food from the jungle.
No external tools necessary, everything you need can be found on the island.

Same goes for, the goals "Make a fire" and "Prepare somewhere to sleep"

Sounds like Minecraft.

I must be the only person in the world that hasn't played Minecraft
