It just slipped right in.

My onl6 suggestion is to use the standard mechanism to get everything aligned inside and then you may need to use some force to take it apart.<br />Luckily these are pretty cheap and you can buy a new copy without breaking the bank if you cannot separate it.<br />I’m sorry that you are having trouble.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649523779226834414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341941751324943000.post-13099960563845547382018-04-02T02:40:39.829+01:002018-04-02T02:40:39.829+01:00I inadvertently re-assembled this puzzle incorrect...I inadvertently re-assembled this puzzle incorrectly... The metal pieces do NOT alternate silver, gold, silver, gold going around. They are silver, silver, gold, gold. I can't seem to get it apart anymore.

Then it is just available to give to friends to play with.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649523779226834414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341941751324943000.post-16955495047512115642017-08-18T02:41:39.692+01:002017-08-18T02:41:39.692+01:00I was not impressed with this one at all.

I re-work all of my Hanayama puzzles from time to time but always seem to skip this one and "Cast News". There just isn't any re-play value in these two puzzles if you ask me.Murray Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12215007154019293520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341941751324943000.post-27947106313220373242015-10-03T21:43:47.666+01:002015-10-03T21:43:47.666+01:00A very cool puzzle, if only for the elegance in de...A very cool puzzle, if only for the elegance in design. I consider the secret to be a bit of a "cheat" on the part of the designer and wish it could have been designed without that element.Jason Rizoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18390785744231327094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341941751324943000.post-69578747710468848172014-01-27T20:15:28.492+00:002014-01-27T20:15:28.492+00:00Hi Drake, yes it is a shame that you can solve it ...Hi Drake, yes it is a shame that you can solve it that way! It is much more satisfying to do it the correct way. Luckily very few Hanayama puzzles can solve this way. I hope that your next choice is more challenging for you!Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649523779226834414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341941751324943000.post-78530161493552593042014-01-27T19:35:29.283+00:002014-01-27T19:35:29.283+00:00My first try - i found correct solution but didn&#...My first try - i found correct solution but didn't disassemble it completly. Then i couldn't do it again so i used "shake" version. After that i have studied the mechanism and found the idea behind it. It's just wonderfull! But, sadly, everyone just shake it untill it fall into pieces. Next time when i will try to open any new puzzle i will try first to hear if there are any moving pieces inside :DDrakenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341941751324943000.post-87640498435855533302012-09-03T22:32:13.524+01:002012-09-03T22:32:13.524+01:00Finally I can put my excessive shake method to goo...Finally I can put my excessive shake method to good use!!!
