Puzzle Box

Photos: July 2, 2016

I've been reading about Adam Bellow's latest creation: locked boxes which can be opened by solving a series of puzzles. Teachers are sharing curriculum based around using the boxes and are reporting great student engagement. It made me think of my little puzzle box. I took it apart.

While it does not have locks, it does take problem solving both to take it apart and to put it back together. I admit. It took me longer to reassemble it than to take it apart. I can only imagine what it took for the maker to create it!

Confined spaces, private places - that's what this cat likes. This isn't the brightest cat. He has been known to go off into a room and then start whining as if to say "where is everybody?" When you call him he then comes trotting happily forgetting that he was the one who wandered off in the first place. But he has personality, a cocky cat who is now sitting on my shoulder like a pirate's parrot.
