This puzzle is not at all hard. I would say the average time for an adult to solve it would be 10-20 minutes. Anyway, this toy is very well done, durable and creative. Everyone likes it! One of the best if you are looking someting between levels 1-3.

I bought this as a gift for a friend who collects Hanayama puzzles. It did not take as long for him to complete it as I would have hoped, although after hours of playing with it I could still not figure it out. It is a great quality toy, and although it can be a little frustrating, I believe it would be a good gift for almost anyone.

The antlers are the key to unlocking the mystery of this 19th century British conundrum. It was discovered in Britain by Nob Yoshigahara, who brought it across the Atlantic so that we could present it to you as a real puzzler's challenge.

This is a heavy metal puzzle, that looks just as gorgeous as the picture suggests.
This is a very hard puzzle, though. The object is to free the metal ring. It took me several hours to solve this one. Might be too hard for children. Still, it's gorgeous, so it's a good puzzle to have out on display.

I bought this as a present and was a little disappointed when he figured out how to take it apart within a half hour. :( However it seems he is having a little trouble putting it back together so I guess it was worth it. I'll definitely be purchasing Hanayama puzzles in the future, they are very durable and fun.

True bonds are hard to form, yet they are eternal. Inventor Mine Uyematsu has designed a cast puzzle whose bond is truly difficult to unravel. Consider how to go about forming and breaking such a bond. There are two approaches to this puzzle; are you good enough to find them both?

Ordered July 12,'11 w/ 2 day Prime promised. Confirmation says won't ship til Sept. 12th. Amazon has always been terrific with their service. Some of these third party sellers are quite lax, to say the least.

Four people received one of these puzzles (one of them being the Devil version) and the room was absent of conversation...just the intermittent jangling of metal being moved. Hilarious! The Devil version is a level 4 and my 26-year old son finally figured it out...with "help" he admitted. The "claw" (level 2) was finally figured out but the level 5 Radix, level 5 vortex and level 6 enigma are still torturing its new owners. This is a GREAT gift for puzzlers--the perfect all-day sucker!

This absurdly simple-looking puzzle known as the Devil's Claws was born in 1905. Nob Yoshigahara decided to re-introduce it to the puzzle world. Don't let the smooth looks of this puzzle fool you! The claws can be devilish or the secret to finding a solution.

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.

The nuts and bolts appearance may lull you into believing this to be a straightforward puzzle, but it is a total brain drain. Inventor Oskar van Deventer presents two challenges: 1) remove the small nuts by disassembling the nutcase, and 2) change the order of the wording on the bolts from nut-case to case-nut.

First, this puzzle is a work of art. It looks awesome and is extremely well made. It's solid, polished metal and it's nice and heavy. A friend of mine had one and I was shocked to find out that the price was under $50. Brilliant, unique design. It's a refreshing change from the common loop-based puzzles. I've worked at it for at least 3 hours with no success...I can't comment on the how cool or cheap the solution is, but I can say that it is quite difficult. I'd strongly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique, extremely challenging puzzle.

This sphere-shaped puzzle represents a planet and its surrounding ring. Positioned snugly inside the ring, the planet looks as if it cannot be removed. It may appear that all you can do is rotate it on its axis, but is that really the case? Hold this puzzle invented by Oskar van Deventer and have an intergalactic, mind-expanding challenge!

My 13yr old son received this as a gift and has enjoyed the challenge! This puzzle has also been entertaining for adults when we've had guests over for dinner. One of our guests said he needed to have a few of these around his house when his brother in-law visits LOL!

Created by Serhiy Grabarchuk, a famous Ukrainian puzzler designer who lives in Uzhgorod, the original drawing of this puzzle looked like a strange adornment weaved into a coiffure design. However, lay it on a table and you have a coaster for your favorite Ukrainian beer or wine. Our hint for solving the mystery of the Coaster is weave.

Average Reviews:

This is the hardest puzzle in the Cast series. Just three sturdy solid metal pieces. Get Radix before this one -- Radix is more fun.
Vortex is gorgeously complicated, with subtle differences between the three pieces. It is very, very difficult to keep track of the pieces as they twist around.
Ultimately, this one was too hard for me. I only know a few solvers in the puzzle-collecting community. I might try it again later, to see if I can figure out how the heck it was designed. The design is brilliant, but that doesn't always translate to a fun solving experience.

The three pieces of this challenging puzzle each have a spiral body. When assembled, the pieces form a unified flat object. In order to undo this complex entanglement, it will be necessary to unbind them three-dimensionally. Here's a small hint for Akio Yamamoto's Vortex: think crest.

Hanayama - Cast Square Puzzle - Level 10 Minda Boggling Review

I thought I would love this puzzle just from the look of it.
I am serious when I say this: It took me much longer to free this puzzle from its box, than it did for me to end up with a pile of separated pieces laying on my desk. I struggled with the packaging which included two pieces of tape, several pieces of cardboard and what looks like freezer wrap. Once I got the puzzle out of the box, I turned it around in my hands a couple times tugging at it, and it simply fell to pieces onto my desk.
Where is the challenge in that?
Now it turns out one of the movements within my square is defective and sticks, so that might be why it fell apart, but even if that were resolved, I'm betting the same would continue to happen.
The square is interesting enough to mindlessly fiddle with, and what i find is with minor fiddling, it will fall apart on me, but it is much more difficult to put back together than for it to fall apart. So I fiddle with the square intact, it randomly falls apart, then I have to stop what I was doing to actually work at putting the pieces back together into the more interesting assembled square, which will then quickly fall apart on me again as I go back to fiddling.
Again, I'm disapointed with this one. There is a good chance I'll be sending this back as defective.
