This was by far the youngest puzzle exchanger! Many tried even to exchange for her, but she was not for trade! This is the 6 month old daughter of Edi and Sheri Nagata. She was so beautiful and I will remember her contentedly sitting in the sling around her mom.
Here is Edi's link:
This is Chris Morgan. I met him last year as he was one of the main organizers of IPP26 Boston. He did such a wonderful job and I treasure the official book he put together from that IPP. I had the absolute pleasure of hanging around Chris this IPP. I will always remember our day at the Australian Zoo. Chris has such an incredible sense of humour! I was continually laughing throughout the entire day! He has a special interest in photography and especially birds. He was telling us all about his pet parrot who says the greatest things, including, "Birds don't talk!" He was also beside George's booth during this exchange and again, he was so funny! I enjoyed so much getting to know Chris better this year!
Here is Wei-Hwa with his puzzle for this year. It was using magnets. I unfortunately did not have the chance to investigate it thoroughly.
Here is Wei-Hwa's homepage: (or you can check him out in Wikipedia)
This is Stan Isaacs. I loved his puzzle this year because it is a puzzle I've assigned in Math Fairs for the past few years. I have a student who did a beautiful job of this puzzle, Meghan Barber. She made it at her parent's glass factory, Barber Glass, and her puzzle is stunning! So I was thrilled when George Miller did a version of this puzzle, and then Stan Isaacs did this exact puzzle! I bought one to add to my collection! It is based on Ivan Moscovich's Playthink #255 in his book called 1000 Playthinks.
I am learning so much about the puzzle making process through this exchange! I hope to join the exchange as an exchanger one of these years!
