| It began in the 1800's with marvelous building blocks, and in 1891, Richter produced a puzzle, Kopfzerbrecher, which was actually the tangram. "Rack your Brains," "Lost Sleep," "Headache" were just a few of the translations of the original name. The puzzle was a huge success, and soon the company was producing even more dissection puzzles. | |||||||||||||||||||
