Description
Another classic by Oskar van Deventer, the Paperclips puzzle is rarely made, and for good reason. The result is worth the effort. With two possible solutions, the paperclips interlock to form a beautiful sculpture once solved. At 14 moves, finding the solution is no trivial task...this is a very confusing and difficult puzzle to solve.

Care must be taken to make sure all pieces are oriented square to each other to prevent binding while solving. Nevertheless, the splines make for a very strong joint, and this puzzle can be manipulated and solved without fear of breaking.

This is for the 2019 version of the puzzle, CD made this two other versions in 2005 and 2010.
