The Key Point of this Puzzle
This puzzle is made from two types of pieces, each with a
pin set inside that move in or out by tilting or applying a
little bit of force to the puzzle.
The pieces also have grooves, which differ in shape
depending on whether they are the Gold or Silver pieces.
Understanding this is the key to solving the puzzle. The pin
engaging the Silver pieces will move freely in the grooves,
while the pin engaging the Gold pieces will be blocked in the
grooves and prevented from moving freely.
After gently placing the puzzle upright as shown in
the first diagram above, it can be disassembled by
following instructions 1 (2 & 3). If the puzzle will
not disassemble, the pins have not reseated.
There is a trick in stopping the turn abruptly.
Try it as many times as necessary.
