On my 24th birthday my flatmate gave me a puzzle. It wasn't just any puzzle, it was 'One Tough Puzzle', both in name and in practise. At first glance, the notion that there are 300,000 ways not to solve this puzzle and only one way to complete it, seems rather excessive. There are after all, only nine pieces. Yet, after a few tries, I started to realise just how tough this puzzle really was, and I found myself on a quest to solve it.
I have created this blog, by way of documenting my mistakes and formulating a strategy. I am, though, scared at every moment that someone might come along, ask to have a go and solve it instantly. Something tells me there cannot be a method, and only pure dumb luck in solving this bastard.

I HAVE WRITTEN A BACKDATED POST WITH PICTURES OF THE SOLVED PUZZLE.
