Yes, its very good! but be careful when you play with it. Easy to loose parts which will prove difficult (but not impossible) to retrieve later if you reset the puzzle wrongly. This was what happened to me.

I really enjoyed "A plugged well" but agree its pretty tough, but as you have opened the orange and green revo I'm sure you are up to the task :)

Agree it's a great puzzle but it didn't quite have the same feeling that the Houdini's Torture Cell did :D

I imagined the size now , i bet it has some really neat tricks in it! A couple last questions:
1. How much hours did it take you to solve (open+close)
2. If you can choose between the Well or Washington Monument, what will be your choise?

Can't remember now but maybe about 2 hours in total. I have both these puzzles because my favorite types of puzzles are sequential discovery puzzles. Both have different trick/mechanisms. If you can, get both. If you can only get one, then I would go with the Well.
