Is BurrTools wrong? No, it is just that rotational moves are possible.<br /><br />When I first bought this puzzle, about 5 years ago, it only took me about half an hour to get it apart. As a more experienced puzzler, you may have realized that rotations were "illegal". But 5 years ago, I didn't know this and it made the puzzle easier!<br /><br />BUT ... using such shortcuts makes reassembly nearly impossible, because I can't remember how to reverse a rotational solution. So I always use the book to get the puzzle back together!Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10140920751826036814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341941751324943000.post-34420385448636951962013-05-09T16:34:04.354+01:002013-05-09T16:34:04.354+01:00Arnaud, I have had only a little difficulty puttin...Arnaud, I have had only a little difficulty putting it together because of my technique of disassembly! I literally go back and forth from beginning to each step many many times. By the time I took the first piece out, I had probably put gone through that pathway over 100 times! From this, I was so familiar with the look of each stage, that reassembly was just a matter of working out how to get from point A to point B - I didn't memorise the pathway but just knew where to aim for.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649523779226834414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341941751324943000.post-76085699393081934942013-05-09T16:19:15.903+01:002013-05-09T16:19:15.903+01:00I have one as well and never managed to put it bac...I have one as well and never managed to put it back together properly (there are some easier solutions) without some help.<br />But for me, the real puzzle is an industrial one. How can they make them so cheaply when it takes me so long to put it back together reading the solution.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15154686750174242031noreply@blogger.com
