Impossible Puzzles

[Chinnomotto]

This is my other favorite topic

Feel free to post pics  etc Guys

To see an Impossible is priveledge

To know how its done, well, thats magic closely guarded

Nothing is that Impossible, as the late Harry Eng said "THINK"

Harry could put almost anything inside a bottle

Wait up, I have to downsize the pics,,,,now thats an Impossibility

Yeah, pretty amazing stuff

[Chinnomotto]

This down sizing sucks

[Canuck]

Taken care of Chinny!  Those are simply 'impossible'!!

[Johan Heyns]

I can attest to that!!!

The attached on I made outside a bottle with free access took me four and a half hours!!!!

The big cubes are abour 100x100x100mm and the small one normal matches!

Cool Chinnomotto, I didn't know you liked impossible objects.  I hope you've seen this site, it's the best I have found on impossible objects so far http://www.kiyori.co.jp/Users/kiyori/impossible/  Here's a translated version for any who wish http://translate.google.ca/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://www.kiyori.co.jp/Users/kiyori/impossible/&ei=NgXySYvgD5mqMsrX4MsP&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=1&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3DGALLERY%2BIMPOSSIBLE%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26hs%3Dy9k

Very cool stuff!

This one has me very perplexed.  Have been thinking about it for a while, I can only assume one of the threads has been cut off and is not connected, (But in the impossible object world this would be a no no, so I know that can't be the answer)  Check the picture, I have no idea how it's done!

Oh I know how that's done Peter....

[Canuck]

Peter, did you see that post on puzzleworld where John Rausch mentions someone exchanged a can with an arrow through it as an 'impossible object', turns out it was cut in half and glued together

Thanks for posting that link Peter, that is very cool...never would have thought of the microwave trick for the ping pong ball

[Arc Light]

Oh I know how that's done Peter....

OOOooooo let me ask a few questions.

1. Are all threads intact, i.e. no cutting has gone on?

2. Are all connections caught with more than just a single thread?

[Canuck]

Sorry Peter...I thought you would have caught that 'tongue in cheek' smilie I put in there!   
I have no clue how that's done

[Arc Light]

Ah my questions were there just to throw others off the clue to how this was made I'm sensing you need oven mitts and ice cubes to create this

[Skiprat]

I think Peter is bang on the money with the heat and ice theory. I reckon those fittings have normal water pipe taper-threads and when the female part is heated and the male bit cooled, they would engage by several threads and of course would be impossible to seperate once cooled.  But the others have me really confused

  Or am I trying to miss lead again
