The THYOR packing puzzle from Pelikan Puzzle is a truly breathtaking masterpiece crafted from exquisite woods: Wenge, Padauk, and Maple unite to form a unique design object. Developed by Dr. Volker Latussek, this exclusive puzzle not only represents the highest level of craftsmanship but also tells a special story.
The name THYOR initially raises questions – does it perhaps evoke the god of thunder? In fact, it's a homage: THYOR stands for "Thirty Years Of ROMBOL" and was designed to commemorate the 30th anniversary of ROMBOL Brain Games. This makes the puzzle not just a brain game, but also a significant anniversary puzzle and a coveted collector's item.
Unlike many classic puzzles by Volker Latussek, the challenge here lies in pure combinational logic. Rotations are not required to reach the goal – they merely serve to remove the pieces. It is precisely this uniqueness that makes THYOR an exceptional mental exercise.
The complexity of this puzzle is impressive: during its development, it could theoretically have taken up to 860,000 years to calculate all possible solutions. This number illustrates how extremely demanding this challenge is. Even experienced puzzle enthusiasts will find their limits here.
In addition to its enormous difficulty, THYOR impresses with its excellent craftsmanship and aesthetic presence. It is equally an exclusive puzzle, a design object, and a high-quality collector's item – perfect for those seeking something special.
