How to get the Rubik’s Cube banned by the TSA
The 125 piece puzzle, made with six different metals, can be reassembled into a single shot .45 caliber handgun. Which pretty much means GarE Maxton can never carry anything on a plane ever again.
The puzzle/sculpture is a one off (unless you happen to be Christoper Lee in The Man with the Golden Gun) and is called The Intimidator. Weighing forty pounds, and measuring eight inches by five inches by four inches, it requires a special key to unlock and start any disassembly of the blocks.
This design is by far my most complex metal sculpture and it’s both mentally and physically intimidating, thus the name. For those challenged by Micro-Conundrum, I suggest giving this sculpture a wide berth. This design expands the limits of what is considered possible for a puzzle; it’s a puzzle with an intimidating function.
Inspired by the Bond Film, the features list does read like something Q would say to Sean Connery:
Integrated into the sculpture are a customized set of tools, all necessary hardware, 45 calibre bullets, a standard sight, a laser sight, a canister containing black powder pellets, a secure storage area for 209 shotgun primers, a spent primer removal tool and a ramrod for loading the bullets.
