    The designer is Rick Eason of USA. Designed in 1999. He wanted a puzzle that would appears simple to solve at first, but will actually prove very difficult, very deceiving. Rick definitely named it after US President Nixon. The puzzle has been in production here at Mr Puzzle Australia since 2000.

    The riddle is called "The Tricky Dick" in reference to a nickname used to refer to former US President Nixon - he gained the nickname because of the dirty tricks he liked to use to gain an advantage. Since the riddle keeps putting us in situations that seem like we're not doing the right thing, over and over again, I find that it's actually a very fitting name. :)

      @@fsq2185 I don’t think it was missing a piece. His expert solved it with only the two present. Maybe there’s an alternate easier version they sell with a varied piece, but that version was definitely the more difficult two-piece variant. I have the 4-piece variant in my collection, I’d rate it a 1 out of 5. But even after seeing his expert’s solution, I think the moves are too complex for me to understand the state it must be in to begin solving it.
