Following hot on the heels of the Rubik cube comes the Great Pyramid Puzzle, shown here with its inventor, Mark Eliot. For every puzzle that is sold, £1 is paid into a trust account, to be given to the first person to solve the puzzle. Since Mr Eliot is the only person knowing the puzzle’s solution, he has arranged for the money to be paid to a charity should he be kidnapped. Mr Eliot recently held a pyramid puzzle session, where he offered £l000 to the first person to solve the mystery, and when the prize was not claimed, he threw the money out of a window.
