Photo Wednesday: The Puzzle Fruit

Calumbuyan Island was included in our itinerary on our 2nd day tour of Coron, Palawan. During lunch time our guide went missing for a while and when he came back he brought a fruit. He then asked if I liked to solve puzzles and then he showed me the Puzzle Fruit.

The Puzzle Fruit is  a mangrove drift seed which can be found in South East Asia.¹

Peel the thin skin of the fruit then you will see its seeds. Jumble them and try to put them back together. At first I thought it was easy, but it took me about 2 minutes just to finish my first puzzle.

Our guide, my cousin, my brother and I competed to see who the fastest puzzle fruit solver is. And guess who won? ahem… ahem…. 🙂

Solving the puzzle fruit was a good way to pass the time while waiting for the strong current of Calumbuyan Island to weaken.
