This is a delightful puzzle for all ages.From everything I saw when looking it up on [...],and You Tube;one would get the impression it just for little kids.I watched adults try to solve it and played with it for some time before I was able to "do it".It has a great feel to it,it seems simpler than it really is;and I found it fun to try.After all,one of the things that makes a good puzzle is if just about anybody who picks it up,quickly gets the idea of what has to be done and is convinced they can solve it.However;it doesn't solve as simply as thought,and the person wants to keep working at it.
Kids will often amaze you how sometimes they are better at solving puzzles than adults.Thes was driven home to me one time when I was at a Rubik's Cube competition and saw a little girl 7 or 8 years of age solve the "Cube" in less than 1 minute.
This sphere is no where as difficult to solve as a Rubik's Cube;and I am sure once one gets the hang of it ,kid or adult,it will provide lots of entertainment.I can see people competing with oneself or others to see how fast they can solve it.
How's this for a challenge? See if you can solve it blindfolded.There are those who can solve the Rubik's Cube blindfolded;so this sphere should be a lot easier.
I predict that anyone who gets this puzzle will be very pleased with it and it will provide hours of fun for anyone who likes puzzles or a challenge of any kind.

This puzzle looks complicated but is not difficult to solve. The problem with it is that is not either intriguing or entertaining enough to tempt one to do it again. Once you have taken it apart and put it back together, it's over. The last two pieces come out easily, so it lies around in three pieces, waiting for the two small ones to get lost.
