I would have to agree with Barcared's choice, so long as it is stuffed full of astronaut food and water, just in case.

My wife.

I totally agree. I would take your wife too!.

Just Kidding, Just Kidding! I would take my own wife, of course. =]

Does the wife puzzle count as a sequential discovery puzzle, a trick vessel, or an impossible object?

If she finds this post, I may be left with only a solitaire peg puzzle, or worse, the world will have a new assembly puzzle. (She will find me quite trivial as a disentanglement puzzle)

This puzzle seems worthy of a holy grail =]

Oh, what I would pay to spend a few days or weeks with this:

I think tangrams are a good idea but unless you have several different types with different shapes it could get boring after a while. but i guess that's why they said "a set of tangrams".

I don't think i have enough puzzles, or know of enough puzzles, to comment on the "Holy Grail" of puzzles, but the puzzle i'd take on a "dessert island" (well done kevin!!) would be the Tiros 18 piece burr. Mines in the post now, so i haven't played with it yet, but with 150 moves to remove the first piece, i assume it will keep me busy for quite a while. Either that or the Super Cubi Karakuri box (which i will own at some point!!) with 324 moves to open.

I've also bought 3 of Rocky's Bolts so far and will end up getting the set at some point, but i haven't received them yet so i don't know how good they actually are yet ;)
Just wondered if you were aware of the "King Cubi" which has around 1500 moves I think?
