Customer Review: Great Quality... Not Great Challenge
Summary: 2 Stars
This is my 4th Hanayama Puzzle that I've purchased recently. I've only purchased the level 5 & 6's as I wanted the best challenge. The quality of the product is fantastic. The cast metal is as durable as can be. The puzzles are great to have laying around on coffee tables when entertaining guest...folks are constantly working them throughout the evening. I've been stumped on the re-assembly of one of my level 5's when trying to get it back to it's original state. The others were sadly disappointing, this one included.
I don't see myself as having an above average mechanical or logical aptitude, but these puzzles just seem too easy for being rated at the top of their scales. This puzzle only had a very small window of possibilities when it came to solving it, and once solved (like some of the others), it's extremely easy to put back together and then no fun to crack ever again. This puzzle is only good for making me look smart and crafty in front my guest now, as it can be solved in one or two seconds now.
Hoping to find another Hanayama puzzle that is comparable to the first one I purchased (The labyrinth), as it seems to be more of the challenge I hope for with a level 5 or 6. If you've fiddled with any of the other puzzles with the "rattle" sound inside, this one will follow the same principle, and hence be solved along the same line, which is why I had it solved before the packaging had even found the trash can. The puzzle piece (5 puzzle shaped pieces in a circle disk) one is my current favorite.
Description of Cast News - Hanayama Cast Metal Puzzle
Disassemble and Reassemble the two Puzzle parts,that is the objective of this singular metal puzzle. A word from the designer: "I came up with the idea for this puzzle when I was 19 years old. It just came to me during a stroll home in the snow; it's truly a creation of my youth. Unfortunately, saying anything here about its construction would give away how to solve it. I certainly can't disappoint the fans that have come to expect frustratingly difficult puzzles from me. Besides, the fans that refuse to accept any kind of hint are those who make me the happiest! The key word is 'needle'." Original Designer -NOB 2003Assembly & Disentanglement Puzzles Toys
