Martin's Menace Large is a handcrafted 4-piece wooden brain teaser, Stewart Coffin Design #217, originally called "Four Fit." Martin Gardner, the Father of Recreational Math, spent a week trying to solve it and renamed it Martin's Menace after calling it "the finest dissection puzzle of all time."

  • Dimensions: 7 x 7 x 0.75 inches in the frame.

  • Solution available on request (not included in package).
  • Engrave up to 45 characters on the base.

Owen A. ★★★★★

I've spent hours trying to solve these four interlocking pieces, and the fit is so precisely cut that once they click together, there's barely a seam. It’s a satisfying challenge that really makes you think, like a mental workout.

Jason ★★★★★

I expected a quick solve and instead lost most of an evening to this thing — the four pieces look like they should slide together instantly, but the fit is deceptively tricky. The wood has a nice weight and the joints are cut clean enough that it never feels loose or cheap.

Owen ★★★★★

The four mahogany pieces look simple until you actually try to fit them into a cube. Took me three evenings and a lot of failed attempts before it finally clicked, which is exactly what I wanted from a Stewart Coffin design. Worth every penny if you like puzzles that genuinely fight back.
