Designed by \u003ca href=\"\/ja\/collections\/andrew-crowell\"\u003eAndrew Crowell\u003c\/a\u003e, it asks you to form a perfect 5x5x5 cube - a goal that sounds trivial with two pieces and takes 30-60 min to actually crack.

That single difference is what defeats people who are good at ordinary interlocking puzzles: the move you need is one you have been trained not to try.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat rotation needs somewhere to happen. Every TIC carries hollow space inside the finished cube - internal cavities the pieces turn through on their way out - and you never see them, because every outer face is solid. It is also why EclecTIC is 5x5x5 where Crowell's 4 and 5-piece TICs are 4x4x4: two pieces turning past each other need the extra room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEclecTIC earns its name in the assembly. Where most two-piece cubes settle into one obvious seam, this one weaves the halves through each other so the split line wanders across every face.

It is also why EnthusiasTIC is 5x5x5 where Crowell's 4 and 5-piece TICs are 4x4x4: two pieces turning past each other need the extra room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnthusiasTIC inverts the usual balance - here the teal piece is the larger, enveloping half, with the white piece running through its core. Both halves reach around corners, so there is no obvious lead piece to pull. It is the kind of solve that clicks all at once rather than loosening gradually.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth pieces grip in more than one axis, so the release needs a turn rather than a pull.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePieces:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolve time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30-60 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60x60x60mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Andrew Crowell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShips:\u003c\/strong\u003e assembled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is one of five two-piece TICs. \u003ca href=\"\/ja\/products\/ecstatic-puzzle\"\u003eEcstaTIC\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/ja\/products\/ecliptic-two-piece-cube-puzzle\"\u003eEclipTIC\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/ja\/products\/emphatic-two-piece-cube-puzzle\"\u003eEmphaTIC\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/ja\/products\/eclectic-two-piece-cube-puzzle\"\u003eEclecTIC\u003c\/a\u003e are the rest, and the \u003ca href=\"\/ja\/products\/two-piece-tic-collection-all-5-two-piece-tics-by-andrew-crowell\"\u003eTIC Starter Set\u003c\/a\u003e has all five in one box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"gp-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the EnthusiasTIC puzzle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"gp-faq__a\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnthusiasTIC is a two-piece turning interlocking cube by Andrew Crowell.
