I had this puzzle for over a year taken apart because I didn’t know how to put it back together. Thank you!!

After playing with this for a while, taking it apart and putting it back together a few times...your solution made me laugh. So hilariously simple!

Thank you for the video! WARNING: The first thing I did (as others reported) was to assemble it with gold-gold adjacent instead of diagonal, and silver-sliver adjacent instead of diagonal. Then it is VERY HARD to get back apart. I managed to do so by gripping one corner piece and jiggle jiggle tip spin rotate... randomly. The pins finally got all-in enough that it fell apart. I agree it is easy to take apart and then requires reverse-engineering to figure out how to get it back together -- not a puzzle in the normal sense. I appreciate the hidden moveable pins technique and construction -- a good conversation piece and heavy/nice to handle. Thanks again.

Thanks Rick. I didn't realise you could put it back together side by side rather than diagonal.

I got it apart without really knowing how in some ways, I thought it may have gravity pins so I spun in really fast and it came apart after a few times. Took 5 minutes to get it back together. So I kinda knew but I didn't even realize about the bridges which helped with the pins until I watched the video. Good video!

I think most people solve this one by accident. I definitely did. Thanks!

Hi Ross, are you going to post a solution for the other 2-silver 2-gold formation?

I wasn't planning on. Don't think I've ever tried it that way. Is it tough?

Very clever puzzle... but really... it can be solved in under one second. Here is how... lay it down on one side... stand it up... and give it a quick counter clockwise spin and it will literally explode apart in seconds.

Yeah, it's hard to work this one out without it falling apart.

First thing I did was spin it in the air, and open it came! 😂 Took me ages to get it back together though!

it also works with spinning.

I can solve it, but not constantly. I still struggle and drop the pieces trying to reassemble it.

Lol I solved it immediately. Took it out of the box, fiddled with it for about 20 seconds, threw it in the air like a coin flip and it fell apart Update: handed it to my 4 1/2 year old non-verbal autistic son, and he walked away with it in his hand. Within a minute, I heard the clinking of the separate pieces on the kitchen table. I have no idea what his method was. 🤣

I kinda found it hard to believe this puzzle is a level 6- if u compare it to other puzzles like enigma it’s no where near as difficult. I must admit though it makes a Beautiful fidget device 😂 oh btw! Idk if this is.. good for the puzzle but if u like- hold it standing up no matter which way then just… start shaking ur hands.. like vibrating almost it comes apart ina couple seconds, laying it down flat then turning it up doesn’t always work sadly- this was helpful though so thank ya!

I solved this after about 10 minutes of trial and error. Then I go and assemble it with two silver pieces on on half and two silver on the other half and thought "oh shit, I'm screwed". Then I realized all I had to do was hold it upright between two fingers where two gold pieces were on the right and the silver on the left then spin it counterclockwise so the pins get put into their holes by centrifugal force and voila!

Well figured out. It's probably a tougher puzzle assembled like that
