Eureka 515117" Huzzle Cast Infinity Puzzle

THIS INFINITY CAST PUZZLE LOOKS SLEEK AND COOL. ITS QUITE TRICKY......I WORKED OUT WHAT TO DO TO SOLVE IT BUT MY INJURED HANDS MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DO, WHEN I VIEWED A SOLUTION VIDEO ON U TUBE. A GOOD BUY.

Yeah, this is what I wanted in one of these puzzles. I probably spent an hour or so "playing" with it last night, and then during a bout of insomnia last night picked it up, thought about it in a different way, and managed to get it open... and then wasn't able to fully reset it until this morning. I recokn I got a good couple of hours out of tht first solve + reset.This feels neat and satisfying to figure out and solve. It's nicely tactile, and complex enough that it's going to be nice to pick up again with the general "idea" of the solution in mind, to try and bring that solve time down - this isn't a "one and done". I'm glad I got this.

This is a fun puzzle if you like a tricky 3d problem. As all the puzzle interlocking surfaces are hidden it's quite hard to vizualise what's going on. I have succeeded in separating the parts after several days of intermittent work, and without really knowing how I managed it, so now I am puzzling about how to get it back to the starting position again. The parts are well made - solid brass with a smooth and tough chromium polished finish, very satisfying to handle. When you get the parts properly aligned they slide smoothly from one position to another. Recommended.

Gave four stars because the solution is pretty linear and can be solved with trial and error alone in a couple of hours. Once you get a hang of it, solving the puzzle in a few minutes is easy. So it provided me with a couple of hours of fun. I got more value out of it by watching my friends struggle for a couple of hours like I did, worth it.

Great father day gift

I bought this for my 10 year old nephew because he likes fidget type things. I can't believe the quality, it is very well made and feels great in your hands. I haven't solved it yet but liked it so much I bought another one for my son (erm, me really).It feels like one of those things you won't be able to put down, even after you solve it.

All good

I'll be honest... I'm a huge fan of the Hanayama puzzles, especially the stonking hard ones that take a good few hours of meddling and lateral thinking to unlock. I was really excited to get this puzzle with its seemingly simple design but promise of arduous traps and infinite rotations... Not so. I've been able to solve a couple of harder Hanayama puzzles in the past, but this one was just so simple in comparison. Granted, it took about 5 minutes to figure out the movement mechanics, but once I had figured out the rotation functions (all very clear once you get a glimpse at the inner workings of the circular pieces), it took about fifteen further minutes to get the puzzle apart, and another five (generously) to get it back together.Is this a case of me being experienced with puzzles of this sort and just being a genius? No. I have plenty of level five and six puzzles that still lie unsolved and abandoned after hours of frustration. This one is just a bit too simple and disappointingly easy, considering it is advertised as a Level 6 puzzle (the hardest). Others may not find this as easy as I did, but believe me when I say there are much harder and more satisfying puzzles than this out there.Still, very high quality build and a good puzzle for perhaps the less experienced solver. If you're cracking levels five and six, though, this one just isn't for you.3/5: Call this a Level 4 and perhaps then it'd be a bit more reasonable.
