First off you need to know this is another quality solid puzzle from Hanayama.
That said, because it is machanical in nature, it doesn't require a lot of logic
to realize that there is only one way it could be put together. as a matter of
fact a friend of mine was fooling around with it while talking to me and it just
fell apart. if you really want hard and fun try Enigma, Vortex or Quartet.

So I bought this puzzle and granted, it did take me a few days to figure out. The difficulty was decent and while I was figuring the puzzle out, I enjoyed it a fair bit, but since then, the nuts keep dislodging from the ridges of the bolts, and even after I know how it works, its still hard to take apart and put back together, simply because the ridges and threading seems to be off a bit and if its off just a bit, this puzzle does not work.

Overall, fun and challenging, but don't expect it to last like the other Hanayama puzzles

My husband enjoy these brain metal puzzles to pass time every now and then, we ordered two puzzles but the nut/bolt one was more like a guessing game than anything else. We enjoy the ones you have to fidget with that are two, three or more pieces to intertwine, etc.
