I did think that his Revo jig may be of some interest to a few of us Revoers (Revoees?). I tried it but I just couldn't get the same 'feel' for the paths. James has solved the Blue and Green this way though, so it obviously works.

James does know the solutions to the majority of his puzzles, and has solved most of them himself. He even had quite a few on the go when I arrived. One of which was the Bronze. His knowledge of all things puzzle related was astounding.
One of the (many) highlights of the two days spent at the museum was being allowed -and encouraged- to take apart and reassemble any of the Miguel Berrocal sculptures that I wanted to. And considering how cripplingly expensive they are that was definitely an experience! Those sculptures weigh an absolute tonne!
