Patience Puzzle


Patience Puzzle

The photograph on the left is of a cardboard match box 5.2cm wide x 3.5cm long x 1.5cm high.

The outer box is a sleeve and has the game instruction printed in German, English, and French on the back.

Box bottom inside

On the bottom of the inner tray is a blue line cartoon drawing of a man wearing a hat. In place of his nose is a fine linked black chain attached to bottom of the box on each end at the place where the nose should be.

This is a different type of manipulative puzzle. It doesn't have a single solution, but rather enables the player to form different nose patterns. The chain swings free and moves as the box is manipulated. When the box bottom is manipulated, the chain forms different shapes for the nose.
