Five Helicopters - Wooden Tray Packing Puzzle

Designed by the talented Tibor Mikloš, this exceptional tray packing puzzle breaks away from the usual burr designs to offer something truly unique. Crafted with Pelikan’s signature precision, it features a gorgeous wooden tray and laser-cut pieces made from a striking assortment of premium hardwoods, including Purpleheart, American Walnut, Wenge, Zebrano, and Movingui.

The Challenge
Your goal is to fit five identical, laser-cut "helicopter" pieces completely flat into the tray. Don't let the identical shapes fool you—with their spiky blades and tails, these pieces take up considerable space and refuse to interlock in any intuitive or standard mathematical pattern. To solve it, you'll need to look closely at the constraints of the tray itself, think outside the box, and move past random trial-and-error. Offering a genuine "aha!" breakthrough moment rather than tedious guesswork, this puzzle is a deeply satisfying challenge that is absolutely perfect for beginners and expert collectors alike.
