This is the first of Hanayama's cast puzzles that has elevated my frustration level. I am now on hour 6 (an estimate) and still haven't solved this little gem. My wife has asked me 3 times now why I am laughing out loud, and I keep telling her that I'm laughing at how frustrated I am getting. I find this puzzle much more difficult than "Chain", "Cylinder", "Square", "News", and "Nutcase". Maybe I'm just missing something, but I would rate this one a "7" on the 1-6 scale that Hanayama uses. It's a great one for sure. I think I may have to put it away for awhile and attempt "Quartet" that is sitting here in front of me waiting to be solved.

I was also given a few other things from his studio (and also bought a glass picture frame).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
