IPP Exchange Puzzle
IPP 43 Assisi, Italy 2026

Designed By:
Made By:
Category: 2D Packing Folding
Description
It's a 2D packing/folding puzzle in acrylic and metal screws, inspired by Constantin's Metermass / Thought Measures (https://www.constantin-puzzles.de/de/produkte/p/p2d-420): Instead of two separate rulers, ouroboros consists in a single loop, which makes manipulation trickier.

It's the first design by Stefano 'pazqo' Pascolutti and was presented at the 2026 IPP Exchange in Assisi.
Goal
The target is to fold the hinged snake so it fits entirely on the frame, with each hinge sitting in one of the holes.
