Solve Meijer's Box   The first thing to do to solve Meijer's Box is to get all parts in the box and in their proper places, so that the locking mechanism can be applied. To fill the box Place the box in front of you with the open side pointing up and the side with the hole pointing towards you. Place parts D, E, F and G on the bottom of the box as shown in the image. Join parts A, B and C together as indicated and place them in the box on top of the first parts. Everything now fits in the box, with only part A sticking out. To lock the parts To get part A in place the following sequence is required. Part C moves forward, so that it fills the hole in the side of the box. This part now acts as a lock that prevents the other parts from falling out when the box is held upside down. Part D moves up, part G moves backward and part F moves to the right, allowing part A to drop in place. To lock part A when the box is held upside down, part E finally has to move to the left. 1. Start with the box in front of you with the open side pointing up and the side with the hole pointing towards you. 2. Rotate the box towards you over 360 degrees. 3. Rotate the box to the right over 90 degrees. 4. Rotate the box to the left over 180 degrees. 5. Rotate the box to the left over 90 degrees to hold it upside down without any parts sticking or falling out. To unlock the parts To unlock the parts the sequence for locking the parts has to be reversed. Part E has to move to the right. Part A can then move up, so that parts F, G and D can be moved to their original position. Finally part C can be moved backward, unlocking the other parts. 1. Start with the box in front of you with the open side pointing up and the side with the hole pointing towards you. 2. Rotate the box to the right over 270 degrees. 3. Rotate the box towards you over 90 degrees. 4. Rotate the box to the right over 180 degrees. 5. Rotate the box to the right over 90 degrees to hold it upside down so that the parts will drop out.
