Based on the concept behind the " One Four All & All Four One" Puzzle, but this time using four tetrahedrons and a square frame, there is the Tornado (interlocking) puzzle (and yes, it uses the same patent). The goal is the same, that is, to fit them inside the frame, such that no piece is loose. As it can be clearly seen, it looks a lot better than its cousin with the cubes! (the prototype was made by using some dice and a custom magic LOL). And because I am not spoil-sport, I am only showing one of its two solutions! Attachment:

 Pantazis PS. Just to ensure there is no misunderstanding, this puzzle has nothing to do with the Alien Tech (which has been delayed for a few months, because of other urgent puzzle-related projects!).

Nice! I really Like this concept! Is there possibly some way to sticker/paint the dice so that the orientation of them does matter? -Mark-

Ouch, I have a full name now? Must be the influence of a bunny  er, was that a smurf? Come darlin', don't ruin my surprise. I have so few of them. (Ok, so it's not really my surprise, but it's my surprise-if that is understandable) Wait a bit longer-it's only 8 more weeks! 8 more weeks!!  How will we survive? Oh wait, that gives me time to buy more jumping shoes! I have a lot of pent up excitement going on, I'll need new shoes! Suffocate the cat why don't you?  OH bugga! I just scrolled up and you have done it already. Hades and all, go ahead. Post your photos. But when I get the moans and groans because we've seen this before, I'm pointing to you!

Well... there are surely more things to show, but I really should stop here! LOL And I called you with your full name to denote how beautiful it sounds! But Rox it is! Pantazis PS. Smurfs, Bunnies, lately it is becoming very tender! My mind is also influenced by the making of too many puzzles at the same time!
