Description
This lot contains a puzzle called “Plato’s Plight, The Philosopher’s Puzzle” that was manufactured by Mag-Nif Inc. of Mentor, Ohio. The puzzle consists of a glass ball surrounded by several wooden posts and strings arranged in a dodecahedron. The challenge this puzzle presents is two-fold: First, the user has to find a way to remove the glass ball from the center of the puzzle without removing any of the posts or strings. Second the user can attempt to disassemble the puzzle and reassemble it as before. This challenging puzzle comes with its original packaging with instructions and challenges, and also comes with playful instructions on how to either receive an award for successfully solving the puzzle, or how to receive a detailed set of instructions to solve the puzzle. Sadly, Man-Nif Inc. is no longer in operation. The package measures approximately 6.5” x 6.5” x 6.5”. All items in this lot are in good condition.
