Here are some sneak pics of the new Stickman Illogical Puzzlebox.  It is far from finished yet and requires the addition of a few more inlays, a good sanding and a proper finish, but enough of it is done to get a fair idea of what it will look like. 

I could not show pics of it open, as that would give away hints to the solution.  What I can say is that the solution requires figuring out illogical patterns, and arranging each wooden triangle in proper positions on the side panels to perform each sequential move.  Placing a triangle in the wrong position will lock it all up again.

Hopefully, these will be ready in a few more weeks.

3 out of 4 platypus test subjects were able to solve this puzzle in less than 30 minutes.  It should be no problem for man like Chinney.  Your one move shortcut is called a hammer.

The comic I posted is quite old, I remember seeing it first around 1980.  I do not know the original source.  Hearing "Stickman" caused me to remember it, and google located it.

From the animation, looks like the fate of every stickman is to be converted into a puzzle box!!
