This
puzzle looks a bit like the bigger
Rattle Puzzle. The puzzle is made by 18
square sticks with pins on the outer sides of the sticks. These pins keep the
pieces together. If you have put the puzzle together you get holes in witch you
can put marbles for example.
In
the diagram below you see the pieces used for the Polygon puzzle. In total you
need 18 square sticks with a length seven times its diameter. Seventeen pieces
have two pins and one piece (the key piece) just one pin. The holes for the pins
has to be drilled in such a way that exactly five pieces can be placed between the
two holes. The pins must not be to long: they must stick out less than the half
of the diameter of a square stick.
