Wil Strijbos!!!

[TheWaddler]

.... that doesn't help me though does it!!!!

i've made a few observations and logical guesses but neither have helped me do anything with it. plus i don't know what "Classic Strijbos" is, but i have a feeling its similar to the First Box and the Washer Cylinder .....

Finally solved Lotus this evening (after having merely opened and closed it, fully, a few times, up to now...)

Classic Strijbos ... And evil!

Allard

This sounds like a good review. Looking forward to it. Is it as evil as the First Box?

Wehey I finally made some progress on this damn lotus!!

[y2khappens]

I have a washer cylinder that is completely locked up.
Would anyone be willing to work on it that knows how
to open it. When a friend locked it up, I used a couple
channel locks to free it up and made it worse. I know
"no brain, no pain". Maybe it is beyond selvage, how-
ever it's no good to me this way. Thanks in advance.
If you are willing to give it a shot, send my your mailing
address please. I don't really want to bother Willie S.

I'm looking forward to Lotus, I did manage to snag one from Wil even though my email was delayed. Anyone here on the forums do me a big favor the next time he sends one out and PM me so I can validate I get it? =D

Also, Waddler cmon pick up that First Box and open it! The face wants out!

My First Box had a chipped corner when I opened the shipping box =(

...so did mine - good news - that doesn't harm the puzzle mechanism in any way!

...pretty similar in terms of difficulty in my books... although with this one you can open and close it multiple times and still not know how the heck it works... so maybe Lotus is a bit harder... ?

You'll most likely find it's mullered

My first one died after a bit of swarf jammed the mechanism

If it's stiff to the point of no rotation then it's dead I'm afraid

Took the black pin out of my Lotus last night, it's such a beautiful item

I almost wish that the black pin was another more complex stage which led to another coin

i wouldn't be surprised if mine turned into a " " face just cos you opened your's in a matter of seconds, doesn't mean i can

my unopened puzzle count has risen to up to six thanks to the Washer and Lotus, joining the Gold, Lime, Silver and First Box. so much to do, so little time ......

[AFKAN]

Nothing wrong with having a large selection of unopened puzzles

Just means you'll be very very busy over Christmas
