CAUTION: THIS MODEL IS ONLY A SINGLE SEGMENT, NO BALLS
Quartolabacus is a twisty puzzle inspired by John D. Harris' classic
Astrolabacus puzzle. Each of the six segments of Quatrolabacus has four channels. The puzzle can be twisted, which results in a rearrangement of the channels. The beads slide through the channels. The object of the puzzle is to scramble it and then solve it.
CAUTION: THIS MODEL IS ONLY A SINGLE SEGMENT, NO BALLS
Buy six of these segments for a complete puzzle, plus a set of these high-precision
Delrin 10-mm balls instead.
