Impossible Street Elbows – Saul Bobroff
Impossible Street Elbows - Saul Bobroff
Here is an “impossible” object I bought from Saul Bobroff at IPP 29. It’s made out of 4 standard, unmodified iron 1/4″ plumbing street elbows. After pestering Saul about it with my different theories during the IPP, he finally broke down and told me. I passed it around the other Mechanical Engineers at the office. When I told them how it was built, they felt it was a little anti-climatic. This shows some nice out-of-the-box thinking, and I don’t think I’m going to try and make one anytime soon.
It’s available from Eureka Puzzles in Massachusetts. I think that Saul also runs his own puzzle shop that they would be available from, but I haven’t been able to find more information about it.
