El Fuches OoC post 3/27

During my co-op last semester, I discovered the world's most amazing puzzles.

This is one of BePuzzled's "Crystal Puzzles," part of a collection of 40 or so 3D puzzles. I love putting them together and displaying them as models. As of last week, I have 7 puzzles total, including the large pirate ship dolphin, and Snoopy's doghouse. While they aren't especially "creative," in terms of having a set objective, they are quite engaging.
I brought the "Earth" puzzle (pictured above) to campus this week. A friend and I were having a brain-melt moment, so I broke out the puzzle and we put it together. It turns out that some pieces are symmetric, so you had to be careful not to end up with pieces of Europe floating through Australia. It was an excellent activity for a mentally-stimulating break.
PS - if you would like to borrow one, let me know in class. I've got a sapphire, a skull, Saturn, and more!
