One of my favorites to show people. Solution was intuitively easy and putting it back together is the harder part lol! Took under 10 mins to solve and over half hour to put back together.★★★★Saturday September 16th Puzzle Shiva wrote,

If you assemble with the same color piece in the same side, it's different difficulty. you can't disassemble it without some tools. Just try it.★★★★Wednesday May 19th lin wrote,

I like the design of this puzzle however it is far too easy to deserve the rating. I'd say this is a level 7 or easy 8.★★★Tuesday May 18th Ian wrote,

Looks awesome, feels great...but way too easy. Solved in no time at all. There is no way this was more difficult than the chess piece set...either way, I’m happy with it yet disappointed with the difficulty.★★★Monday May 10th Ryan Pronger wrote,

Beautiful work of art puzzle, but as others have experienced, it came apart by accident for me after about 1 minute. Possible due to the pieces being a bit too loose?★★★Saturday November 30th Gary wrote,

Mediocre. Took it apart almost instantly looked at it and put it back together in less than less than 20 second. fun to see your friends try though. XD★★★Thursday September 28th Anonamus :) wrote,

This is potentially an excellent puzzle. It is nice looking and well made, and the neat thing is that there are three different way to assemble it requiring different solutions. Unfortunately the solution from the starting configuration is very easy to find by accident. (I found a different and more interesting solution from the published one. It's also closer in style to the solution for the alternate configurations, so I wonder if it is actually the one the designer had in mind). Once the puzzle is opened, the inner secret has been given away which makes it a lot easier to figure out the solution to the other configurations. What a shame that Hanayama sends this out in this configuration, because the solution to the alternate configs is pretty clever and not something you could find by accident. (I also found a second solution for the alternate configs which is more reliable but not very interesting). My suggestion: don't work on the puzzle, but pass it to a fellow puzzler and have them solve it and return it to you in an alternate configuration. Then you'll have a five star puzzle on your hands.★★Friday April 1st luxige wrote,

This puzzle is in no way a 10 difficulty, it was way too easy. It will just fall apart in your hands after some fiddling because you won't actually understand how it works until it is solved. Putting it back together is only slightly harder than taking it apart.★Wednesday January 8th Jeff wrote,

This is the last one I got from level 6 (10 on this site) of the Cast puzzles (although, now the ratings are changed by Hanayama). It is a beautiful puzzle. Unique movements and shapes of the pieces. I like its design. But it is solvable by chance, and unlike other puzzles, the chance here is very big. I found the correct solution, though, when the pieces of one kind are opposite on the square. But I still do not know how to solve logically the other solution - when two pieces of one kind are next to each other on the square - I always use the chance to separate the pieces in this case. Nevertheless, the creator of the puzzle did a good job. One of the best ideas for a puzzle.★★★Tuesday September 3rd Shaggy wrote,

This puzzle is easy to take apart. But their is a special way to put it back together so you can undo it without relying on shaking it or luck.★★★★★Sunday March 4th robbo wrote,

Easy to (accidentally) solve, but it does go back together in 2 more ways in addition to the original, which both are more difficult to solve than the original setup.★★★Sunday December 11th puldis wrote,

I spent 1 hour and could not take it apart, then my friend tried and after 3 minutes it just fell apart in his hands. annoying... (T_T). anyway, COOL puzzle!★★★★Monday February 14th Erik wrote,

I like this puzzle very much, it is one of my favorite, even though it is not too difficult. Sometimes the ones that are not too difficult, can be be the most fun. The design is very creative, and my favorites are the ones that have personality, like a work of art, it is a little sculpture.★★★★★Friday January 21st john acord wrote,

This puzzle looks really cool but it's very easy to solve. In fact it'll probably just fall apart in your hands.★★Friday January 7th Thomas wrote,

I give it 3 because it looks and feels so elegant but as a puzzle it is a fail. It comes apart too easy. Even though there is a trick to it, there are visible cues to the trick almost immediately you get it moving. Not hard to take apart and once apart you can see the trick making reassembly easy.★★★Tuesday December 28th MikeB wrote,

Not even close to 6 hanayama stars. 2 could be better rating. Very disappointed with this...★★Wednesday November 17th Pentti wrote,

Very pretty puzzle, nice to fiddle with, but it kinda easy. Took it apart in two minutes, put it back together just as fast (probably because i already knew what to do from similar Hanayama puzzle). Not sure why it says arrangement of the pieces changes, when the solution is really the same every time no matter how you hold it, no matter which piece goes where ... I even checked the solution after solving it and it still solves all the same every which way.★★★★Thursday November 4th Solarmew wrote,

Nice puzzle, but really easy. A great concept but a bad realization. I took it apart by accident in 2 minutes and assembled in 5. I'm disapointed. Not recommend.★★Wednesday April 7th Tom wrote,

This puzzle is quite easy to take apart by accident. You're not sure what you did that worked, but it is apart. I had more difficulty putting it back together, but then you have the advantage that you can inspect each piece and see how it works. Not 5 starts in difficulty, but a very well made puzzle.★★★Saturday March 6th George wrote,

This puzzle is so easy... This solved the puzzle in the mountains 20 minutes. Changing the placement of the piece is a little harder, but that is not very difficult... At the same level much easier than other puzzles. However, a very neat view.★★Wednesday February 24th likepuzzle wrote,
