I would say that's a fair trade. I still think the salt and pepper shakers are one of my favourite puzzles.
They really do tick all the boxes

I look forward to the blog entry :mrgreen:

Yup. Damn that Puzzle Paradise email :) Oh well, it's another to add to my currently increasing list of puzzles I have to review.

Right ... all written up - but need to get the light tent up to take some pics before I can post it ... should be able to do that in the next day or two ... stand-by.

OK, all done ... not sure how "full" a review it is as I'm trying hard not to unintentionally give anyone still working on it any clues ... but it should give you an idea of what it's like ... enjoy.

Allard I love the review mate!

In fact after looking at Mr Puzzle I decided to order the Windmill burr.

As this topic is other puzzles, has anybody else played "Rooms" on the DS?

Sloyd updated their online shop recently with a whole load of cool new puzzles.

There are some on there that are definitely worth a look, but you'll have to browse for them as they're not in the 'news' section.
