 It's cool, fun, frustrating, and colorful January 10, 2007
R. Hawn (Augusta, ME USA)
I saw this item on a TV show, and was immediately interested in it. I got in soon after my order, and I was not disappointed. It took a while to take it apart, and even longer to reassemble it. After that, I finally looked at the directions and was amazed that is was simpler, yet more difficult, to do than I thought. I still have fun trying to take it apart, now for time. I think I'll keep this one for a long time.
Great little puzzle July 25, 2007
A. Roberts (Georgia, USA)
I was in a bookstore that had one of these on demo, and my friends and I (all around 20 years old) took turns fiddling with it until we finally had it apart. So no, it's not impossible like another reviewer said. But it is maddenly difficult, as you can't always tell if you are moving in the right direction. The solutions manual is worthless if you've already progressed too far (not to mention that's not fun anyway), but taking it apart is easier than putting it back together, so it is good for reassembly.
My favorite thing about this is that it is lightweight and durable, easily set down for later or passed to another person.
 Fun, but a little easier than I thought January 28, 2008
Griffin Klema (Madison, WI)
I thought this puzzle was going to be a real brain buster, but I worked out the puzzle in less than 2 hours. The product claims to have thousands of possible moves with only 65 correct moves, but it doesn't seem like there are that many ways to move the pieces once you get going. Simple trial an error will work out this puzzle rather quickly, and doesn't require as much thinking as I would have liked. However, it's durable and fun nonetheless.
Knot Your Typical Puzzle! March 2, 2008
Mariah Betz (Rochester, NY)
It took me about 1.5 hours of continuously working on it to solve this puzzle, with zero help from a booklet or interwubs. I was in one of those moods where I wanted to be engrossed in a puzzle and this one surely fit the bill! It's difficult to put down once you start playing with it, but don't anticipate solving it unless you have some serious time on your hands. Reassembling it is also a major challenge, but I think I'm going to use the instructional video to do that. Then I'll attempt to solve it again and find out if I can do it any quicker the second time around :)
Great for adults with patient May 15, 2008
Heng Sun (New York City, United States)
Finding a solution takes at least a couple of hours for an adult with some skills and experiences on brain teasers. Putting it back after dissembling is near to impossible without looking into the manual. You need to be observant and persistent to enjoy the toy.
