Mind Stretching with Cast Puzzles
I have recently gotten my hand on a mind puzzle and have gotten it apart. I think its nice and relaxing to use this mind stretching puzzle at school or anywhere.
I have recently gotten a mind puzzle by some of my dad’s worker friend’s kids. I started trying to solve it immediately. I have tried one at my neighbours house but it was only level 3 i think on the scale between hardest and easiest (these puzzles are rated from 1-6). My puzzle is level 5 on the scale (!) and i had a lot of trouble solving it but it has been fun, aggrevating sometimes, but with some help from friends and 1 week of time iv’e finally solved it. well not completly but i have gotten it apart but now im struggling to get it back together. This isv the puzzle i have;

It’s called vortex and the first picture is how it looks from the beginning and the other what it should look like when taken apart. Here is the description the page gives for the Hanyama Vortex puzzle;
The three pieces each have a spiral(vortex)body and tow protrusions.
When assembled together, each piece is unified into a flat object.
In order to undo this complex entanglement it will be
necessary to unbind them three dimensionally.
The motivation behind this idea is the statue of Asura.
Asura is an ancient Indian god and also a
protector of Buddhism.
The figure with the three faces and six arms
conjured up the concept of Trinity.
I have used it alot and it has taken me almost a week to finish it, I got it finished 3 in the nigth because I decided earlier that day that this would be the day i finish it, and so i did.
I think that people who likes to dream away or solve problems or puzzles should buy a hanyama puzzle. But i recommend that you try out a easier level first cause this one was almost to hard to solve for me.
