- Description
- This set of puzzles consists of fifty-two (there are room in the box for sixty-four) small plastic sticks similar in size to toothpicks, as well as a leaflet giving eighty puzzles that involve starting with a given arrangement of "picks" and arriving at another arrangement.

The picks and puzzle book are in a cardboard box, but only the solutions to the first three puzzles are given.
