This extremely difficult puzzle was made by Nintendo in 1980 before they limited themselves to game computers. The Ten Billion Barrel is sometimes called the Billion barrel, 1010, or the Nintendo Tumbler Puzzle. In the Soviet Union this puzzle was on sale under the name "Devil's Butterfly". It was invented by Gumpei Yokoi.The puzzle has 23 coloured balls arranged in five columns spaced evenly around the sides of the barrel. The barrel itself has six rows. Two (nonadjacent) columns have only 4 balls, which lie in the middle four rows. The other three columns have 5 balls, and the extra balls either lie all in the top row or all in the bottom row. The black central core can move up or down, and that moves those three columns along with it. The middle four rows lie in two discs, which can rotate. By rotating a disc, the balls in the two rows it contains are moved around to the other columns. The aim is to place four balls of the same colour in each of the five columns, with the three black balls filling up the top of the longer columns.
