Imagine a puzzle with a touch of magic, where the answer isn't just unexpected—it's positively astonishing. Meet the "Jack in the Box", designed by Rod Bogart.
At first glance, you'll see eight solid metal pieces that form a perfect cube when packed inside the box. Yet, there is a second puzzle hiding in plain sight. Every element, from the aluminium cuboids to the acrylic casing, holds a clue to the riddle. The secret is how to fit the three-dimensional star inside the box along with all eight pieces of the cube. Math may provide an explanation, but experiencing the enigma firsthand? It seems impossible.
