Cool Puzzles and Toys

This web site is devoted to cool puzzles and toys that don't use magnets.  (If you like magnets, check out Magnet Man).   I have enjoyed discovering the world of pentominoes, and have some great links to pentomino solvers and artwork.  I also have information on some interesting toys for the executive's desk.  

Have fun!
