I really liked this puzzle, it honestly took me a lot longer than the average level 8, putting it back together is tricky!
It is my favorite puzzle. It's very pleasant to twist in your hands, everything is smooth, very. It was not difficult to disassemble, she practically fell apart in my hands. But when it came time to assemble it - it became a real hard :) Highly recommend, a cool puzzle!
i own allot of hanayama puzzles and i can say this is one of and if not the hardest in the series,the fact that you cant even see inside the puzzle to know the trick until your finished is crazy,has taken me one to two hours to solve and have not been able to put it back together.i think it is a great puzzle but should be one level higher:)
This puzzle is awesome! It’s one of those puzzles where it’s easy to take apart but hard to put back together. Overall I do agree that this is a level 8 puzzle and I believe it shouldn’t take people to long to solve.
Pretty fun to disassemble, yet challenging to reassemble. Should be a 9 or a 10, as it's probably more difficult than some lvl 10s.. Love it :)
Pretty confusing at first but I think it was more fun trying to get it back together. It took about an hour and a half to two hours.
I got it apart fairly quickly, less than 10 minutes, but had to put it down before I could attempt to re assemble. By the time I got back to it I couldn’t remember the steps exactly and spent the next 2 hours convinced that it went in a certain order. Almost gave up and cheated but decided “one more go”. changed my thinking and had it back together in 2 minutes. Thoroughly enjoyed this puzzle. Looking forward to solving EQUA next.........then NEWS.
Very well made, and very smooth solution and movement. I would suggest buying this puzzle if you have not already! Take your time, use gravity in the begining, and enjoy!
I now have 7 Hanayamas, and this one is my favorite. While working toward the solution, I had several moments of laughter as things that I didn't think should be possible happened. I didn't have the trouble a lot of folks had putting it back together, but that may just be based on how I came to my solution? Regardless, even having it open, it still took a few more times before really understanding. This puzzle and Padlock are my favorites so far because there's a kind of language you learn as you're working with the pieces. Cylinder even more so because everything is happening internally. Plus when together its compact, solid, and fits in a pocket if you want - great puzzle!
Very challenging and nicely made. Even as it begins to open up, much of the inner workings remain hidden. I might even rate the difficulty one level higher. Recommended.
Good!!!
Already a personal favorite. This puzzle is well made, and fun to handle. The solution does not come without a bit of study, as it is fairly easy to get apart, but a bit more difficult to re-assemble. The suggestion from the dealer to consider it similar to opening a safe is a good description of the type of moves that are necessary. Consider that there are only twelve possible combinations of the outer rings, as each has twelve notches, and the beginning of the solution can be seen. Then it gets tricky, because careful shifting of the rings in relation to inner pieces become necessary. If you like puzzles like Enigma, Equa, H&H, Marble and Vortex, you will want this one in your collection. Fun to simply hold in the hand as a work of art.
What a nice little puzzle! I think it is very similar to "Cast Nutcase". It seems there is not strictly one solution, due to the symmetry of two pairs of the pieces. I also solved it once, but had difficulties on my second go. After it, however, I figured out what should be done. I do not recommend it to people with weak nerves, though.
I recommend Cast Cylinder because the design gives you absolutely no hint on how to open the puzzle. I fiddled around with it for about 30 minutes before I got the first "move." It didn't take too long after that to get it completely apart. Getting it back together might be a little more difficult.
