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.

The original £1m Eternity puzzle sparked a gaming frenzy in back in 1999 and this sequal raised the bar on puzzle prize funds even further – the prize $2 million!!

The 256 piece combinatorial puzzle developed by Lord Monckton and the original winners of the Eternity puzzle has clearly stumped puzzlers, mathematicians and those looking for a different way to win $2m.

Lord Monckton said: “Hundreds of thousands of people worldwide have taken up the challenges posed by the simple yet difficult Eternity and Eternity II puzzles. I hope they enjoyed trying to solve these record-breaking puzzles as much as I enjoyed creating them.

Congratulations and thanks not only to all our customers but also to Tomy and all our many partners worldwide in this exciting venture. Watch out for more great puzzles to come!”
