Re: Hanayama Cast Puzzles
Love the marble it's the best one by a mile 
Quartet although excellent is just too fiddly and imprecise for my liking

Funny how taste differs. For me this it not a great puzzle at all, but more something like a magic trick.RichAE91 wrote: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 fineParadox wrote:I may have to bring my one for you to try at MPP. As far as I can tell it has fused itself into a completely impossible position.

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.
Re: Hanayama Cast Puzzles

Re: Hanayama Cast Puzzles
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 

black obs v1
Blue Ob v2 = Opened
Bronze Ex = Opened
Orange Ex = Opened
Silver Ex = Opened 35-40 hours
Lime = In preparation...
Titanium = Opened 6/7 hours (Loved that final run)
Copper = On its way...

Re: Hanayama Cast Puzzles
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!

Re: Hanayama Cast Puzzles
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!
