Hyper Drawers

This CAD model was designed by Oskar van Deventer, copyright (c), 20 October 2024.

Hyper Drawers is the first result of a quest to develop a "hyper-exponential" puzzle. Binary puzzles, like the famous Thinkfun Spinout puzzle are well-known. The number of moves doubles for every piece added, like 2-4-8-16-32-... This number of move is exponential with the number of pieces (n): 2^n moves. The base can also be another number, e.g. base 3 (3^n moves). The word hyper-exponential signals that the number of moves grows faster than exponentially, that is faster that base^n, for any fixed base value. Hyper Drawers achieves this result by starting from Bram Cohen's Binary Drawers. That puzzle has a stack of identical pieces, and it is binary. By making each next piece in the stack one step larger than the previous one, the puzzle is hyper-exponential.
