I think yours is the most logical, and probably what Adept is looking for however!

I think 3FS is probably right. Yours is the best solution, so far. Somehow I get the sneaking suspicion the pahrase oak wood may be some kind of clue as well. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif

it could simply be a sheet of oak parchment, and shaped via oragami.

Okay, how about he uses a set of thin oak rods which he uses to make a frame of each of the shapes, like those erector sets for kids. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif

Hey now. His claim was that nobody would leave disappointed. Personally, if I paid to see this miracle and all he did was screw around with an erector set, I wouldn't be too happy. :p

Or, he is using a pile of oak sawdust which he soaks in water and molds into the various shapes. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif

Without cutting, carving, adding to or subtracting from the wood I will change the shape from a square cube to a tall cylinder then into a pyramid and finally into a short squat disk. Yes my friends I have been working on this trick for over 13 years. It is nothing short of miraculous! All who see the show will not leave disappointed!"

How did Dee Septor manage to do as he claimed?

Okay, this is driving me nuts. He said he has been working on it for 13 years, but doesn't say he has ever done it. So, he sells the tickets but never performs the show as he didn't say when he would do it. Therefore, no one sees the show and can't leave disappointed. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif

C'mon Adept, let us know if we're close...............some of these solutions are actually painful!

This is close.

Real close.
As a matter of fact, I'm giving it a point for partial "rightness".

A refinement: he has containers shaped like a cube, a cylinder, a pyramid and a disk into which he pours the oak saw dust sequentially.
