Helilabacus is a variation to
Quartolabacus, which is a variation to the classic Astrolabacus puzzle. In the version, the paths of the beads are twisted around the pieces in a bent helix shape. Five of the pieces have a right-handed helix, the sixth (pink) has a left-handed helix.
This puzzle comes without beads. Please buy 10 mm Delrin beads.
