Puzzle, Coin or Disk through Hole
notes: label: Description
content: This paper puzzle consists of a tan cardboard sheet with a circular hole in it, a small green disk with a larger diameter than the hole, a sheet of directions, and a turquoise envelope that holds the other pieces. The goal is to pass the disk through the hole. The directions explain that by folding the card at the center so that the circle is equally divided, placing the disk between the fold, and pulling the edges of the hole to flatten and distort it, one may easily pass the disk through the hole.
