Title: 3 card burr puzzle
Post by nakli on Feb 3^rd, 2013, 11:40pm

Can anyone tell me the size of slits in terms of card edges used in the "3 card burr" puzzle?

I want to try it at home - '3 card burr' puzzle by George miller.

@jemyclarke
It is not a card game. It is more like a puzzle or a curiosity.

Ya guys, but anything about the slit dimensions? Because I found it too easy when I tried to make one.. maybe my slits were larger in proportion.
