Piet also created other games and puzzles, and among these we find 'Pyramystery'.
| The puzzle consist of 20 rosewood balls each measuring 3cm in diameter. These balls are combined into 6 pieces, using 3,3,3,3,4,4 balls. The question is, Can you construct a Pyramid by stacking the 6 pieces in the right way.? This is the game of Pyramystery. |
 |
 |
To make the basic puzzle a little easier to construct, it is supplied with a triangular rosewood base measuring 14.5cm x 1.8cm high. This base has a triangular pattern of 10 round indentations. |
These are the 6 pieces you need to play.
1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Note that we number the two first pieces as #1 because they are identical. |
 |
The Pyramystery game also comes with a booklet, written in several languages. You can see this booklet HERE.
These are the figures 02, 08 |
| This is figure 12. |
|
|
|
Here is how to assemble the first three figures. |
Many figures are possible using just these 6 pieces. Here
I show 33 figures, and at the END of this newsletter, you
may find the solutions to all these.
