Yeah. All this leads to is planes being diverted because of a passenger playing rubik's cube.

Thanks for that Jaeger, but if I had one of those I'd pull it apart, look at the bits for a very long time, and then glue every bit onto a piece of board so they looked just like this:
...and hang it on my wall. Because God knows there is no way I could ever put it back together. I have rebuilt a FIAT 1600 pushrod motor, but I know when I'm beaten.
Enjoy, you fucking masochists.

The Intimidator Puzzle is composed of over 125 pieces made from brass, bronze, copper, aluminum, magnesium and steel. Once diassembled, about 20 of the pieces can be recombined to make a functioning single-shot pistol. Other parts of the puzzle separately and securely store "a customized set of tools, all necessary hardware, 45 caliber bullets, a standard sight, a laser sight, a cannister containing black powder pellets, a secure storage area for 209 shotgun primers, a spent primer removal tool and a ramrod for loading the bullets."
Pretty F'n cool...

I remember seeing that tool chest on the original broadcast of the show. At the time, I remember thinking, "Wow, holy shit is that cool."
Then I got to thinking, "If this guy was building pianos he presumably had a shop. Why then, would he work out of a toolbox that took three guys to carry? And when did he find the time to actually make something like this?"
Just sayin'.
