Description
Brian got the idea behind this puzzle from an old Phillipe Dubois puzzle. The T-shaped pieces were originally two sets of mirror-reversed triplets. He changed these pieces to ensure they were all different, giving it a unique solution that now separates on one axis only. Brian also added a locking mechanism to make the puzzle more difficult to disassemble.

Hint: A computer will not help you reassemble it.
Size: 90mm x 90mm x 90mm
Goal
The object of the puzzle is to find the T inside the Boston Tea Chest. You will have to disassemble the burr to find it.
