Gear Planet was suggested by Ferdinand Lammertink. Ferdinand is best know as the inventor of several
Thinkfun puzzles, including
Backspin and
Port-to-Port and recently
Perilous Pipes by
Popular Playthings.
Gear Planet has 11 tiles. There is a gearing&sliding mechanism for scrambling the tiles. The object is to get them all back in order. Experts may recognize some similarity between the gearing of four tiles, and the up-and-down mechanism of Port-to-Port.
