Want to give the old grey matter a real nuts and bolts challenge? Reach no further. The Hanayama range of brainteasers have been painstakingly designed and developed over more than a quarter of a century and are quite simply the most inspiring collection of puzzles ever created! Basically, can you take them apart and then assemble them again?
Comprising 4 interlocking pieces which are joined, The Quartet Brainteaser puzzle has a simple objective - separate the four pieces and then reassemble the puzzle. Inventor Mine Uyematsu has designed the puzzle with a bond that's truly difficult to disentangle. Consider how such a bond is formed, and you'll discover the secret to breaking it. There are two approaches to this puzzle neither of which are in any way easy to find, we challenge you to find both! The solution is very difficult to unravel due to the bonds that hold this structure together.
The Hanayama puzzles are hopelessly addictive and are arguably the most collectable puzzles on the planet! The Nutcase is without doubt up there, along with all the most difficult puzzles ever created. The puzzle makes the perfect Christmas stocking filler or Secret Santa gift for any colleague. After all, it's the ideal executive toy and a great diversion for a bit of office downtime.
