Love the marble it's the best one by a mile :D

Quartet although excellent is just too fiddly and imprecise for my liking :(

this can happen if youve missed that 1 tiny little almost imperceptible thing someone did it to mine when i passed it round xmas day now it has a few scuffs and scratches but works fine
Funny how taste differs. For me this it not a great puzzle at all, but more something like a magic trick. :)


I also like the Marble a lot and the looks of the quartet, but think it's a bit too difficult.

arent all magic tricks puzzles??

and the quartet is a nice puzzle but very susceptible to jamming if you dont know the solution which i found very irratating because the slightest movement of one piece in the wrong direction and is would completely seize would be better if all the corners had a 3/4mm fillet on them

I don't know how to explain, but I meant it's more like a trick. You don't have to really think about it to solve it,...... hope this helps clarify more what I mean.

I brought the rattle a few days ago. Only took about 10 minutes to figure out. Still a nice little puzzle to play around with though :)

The Enigma I had since xmas. Finally got that down where i can do it in a minute or two.

The Equa I got apart last night somehow. Fumbled around and put it back together. Will take a while to figure out the exact method to speed up the time. Cool looking puzzle!

Just solved the cast marble... That puzzle lived up to the expectations. Not only it looks good and feels good: it also has an elegant and unexpected solution. I thought I had understood what I needed to do to open it, but obviously I was wrong.
Kudos to the designer, it's a lovely puzzle!

Got the marble today! Very cool. Pretty easy compared to the Equa!
