Eternity II Puzzle - Solution Submissions

Solution Submissions

After the first scrutiny date on 31 December 2008 it was announced that no complete solution had been found. A prize of $10,000 was awarded to Louis Verhaard from Lund in Sweden for a partial solution with 467 matching edges out of 480.

The second scrutiny date was noon GMT on 31 December 2009. A communication from Tomy Webcare stated:

"I can now confirm that although we received many excellent entries we have not received any complete entries therefore, Eternity II still remains unsolved and the clock is now ticking to claim the $2m prize. All solutions received this year will be locked away in a vault until the final scrutiny date, 31st December 2010. On that day, all solutions will be opened in date order received and the first person with a complete solution wins $2million."

As of 30 January 2011, the official Eternity II site announces that "The final date for the correct solution of the Eternity II puzzle passes without a winner, and the $2m Prize for a correct solution to the Eternity II puzzle goes unclaimed."
