Brief History
Simple stick bombs made out of four, five, or six sticks have been known to schoolchildren for ages. They were often known as 'Chinese stick puzzles' which indicates a possible origin for the devices. Tarnai (1989) describes several designs, including those with indefinite size which he credits to Ruina. Ruina claims to have invented the "infinite popsicle-stick bomb" in 1971 although there is no evidence that others did not invent this idea earlier.
