Every piece has it's purpose and sometimes multiple purposes throughout the solution.<br />Once you understand the way things work ... you'll figure out the right combination :)<br />After a while Fermium actually becomes quite easy ... I've uploaded a video of me solving it in a couple of minutes on Youtube ... don't watch that before you did it yourself, though, as it could spoil the fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341941751324943000.post-60603786779527097212012-09-24T12:43:12.456+01:002012-09-24T12:43:12.456+01:00I am flattered that you would read my blog, Donald...I am flattered that you would read my blog, Donald! I have been playing for short periods with Fermium and it does seem to progress nicely. I am frightened of getting lost and ending up with a huge mess which I cannot get out of! I tend to do a few moves, then backtrack, redo it with a few more and backtrack again. Eventually I will have learned the who solution but it is VERY time consuming. When I have a long period free I will give it a go properly.<br /><br />In the meantime it sits next to Nickel box in the perfect spot to remind me that I'm rubbish!!!!! I can hear it sneering at me!Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649523779226834414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341941751324943000.post-20944946435903097552012-09-24T12:21:46.170+01:002012-09-24T12:21:46.170+01:00Don't be intimidated by the high number of mov...Don't be intimidated by the high number of moves for my Fermium.<br />I designed the fermium completely by hand and brain, so all the moves have actually been envisioned and purposely designed by me, a human being (last time I checked) and so the moves are logical and very sequential.<br />With a bit of wit and understanding of burrs, I'm sure you'll figure it out :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341941751324943000.post-75458451685521945612012-09-24T10:58:00.286+01:002012-09-24T10:58:00.286+01:00Indeed it is beautifully crafted - this puzzle is ...Indeed it is beautifully crafted - this puzzle is so beautiful that it has pride of place on my shelf right in front of me as I sit at my desk!

If you start with the puzzle assembled, the reassembly is no more difficult than the disassembly. It is quite harder to start with the puzzle disassembled and try to pack the pieces into the box.<br />Ishino's solution is right. I just checked with mine. He just shaved off the top of the box, so that we can see what happens inside.
