<h3>Cruiser</h3><h4>Tray-packing puzzle by Stewart Coffin (STC #167)</h4><p>Fit all four pieces into the rectangular opening.</p><p><i>Cruiser</i> is one of a series of tray-packing puzzles by Stewart Coffin. (The other puzzles in the series can be found on the <a href="https://www.puzzlehub.org/puzzles/stewart-coffin">Stewart Coffin Puzzles</a> collection page.) It's a delightful design, seemingly simple yet surprisingly tricky. Coffin wrote of this puzzle:</p><p>"This little gem is a sequel to Few Tile #133 and a top favorite among my flat tray puzzles because of its deceptive simplicity. Fit the two trapezoids and two triangles into the rectangular tray. Mary and I would take one along on our various travels to entertain our companions, hence the name. Seldom could any of them solve it."</p><h4>Printing Instructions</h4><p>Print one copy each of <code>coffin.cruiser.pieces.stl</code> and <code>coffin.cruiser.tray.stl</code>.
