I have to get me one of those!!!
It is a nice puzzle I wouldnt say its all that difficult, you should get it open in about 5 - 10 minutes but it is nice and fun
IMHO, one of the best sequential discovery puzzles out there...wrote about it in my blog

Well Done Joe. The first box is nice and chunky which I like. The washer cylinder is the one that's troubling me. :(

Well I honestly don't know how I did it but I have got the washer out of the cylinder. I don't fully understand it but it sure is nice.

I've edited this as I figured out how I did and there's no putting it back together.. don't ask I'm a little too embarrassed about it :( but I will be ordering another one.

It would be nice to have a natter to someone about it though if anyone would like to PM me it would be great.

First Box...quite amazing the insides and how rather "simple" it really looks.... but ever so challenging to open....second only to the Lotus for a sequential discovery type puzzle
