From the Manufacturer
Hanayama has done it again, with the cast metal Quartet Puzzle. Inventor Mine Uyematsu has designed this brainteaser puzzle with a bond that's truly difficult to disentangle.

This amazing brainteaser puzzle is just one of the many intriguing puzzles from Hanayama. Rated Level 6, considered very difficult by most puzzlers. BePuzzled is more than just jigsaw puzzles.

Purchased this for a puzzle enthusiast and they love it. For someone that is good at the reason puzzles this will not be a challenge for them to figure out, but it is a useful metal box as well. Great conversation piece just sitting on the table as well.

Not so simple! And a wonderful piece to put on a desk. After, you know, you figure out how to put it back in its original form (a second puzzle!)

It really is a unique device, fits in the palm and is hard but perplexing to figure out simply because there is not very many moving parts. It is a cool nick-nack which can be figured if held for some time and dimensions understood. The metal is a nice material which has faint engravings throughout its body, if I recall correctly.. Enjoy this if these masterful brain busters are your collection or forte. Very interesting to understand the dynamics of this physical object combined together which lasso reality in challenging ways, though not undermined of natural dimensions. Believe it to be a chain hanging loosely upon the open lock over our world. Twist and turn to reveal the simplicity which greatness of freedom lives upon. When you first pick this one up it appears that all the pieces are identical but in reality they are not - they are actually 2 pairs of identically shaped pieces and within each pair 1 piece has the maker's name stamped and the other has Quartet stamped on it. Initial attempts rapidly lead to the conclusion that this is not going to be a quickie! One movement is possible on either of the pairs (one easily and one with more difficulty) and after this you meet a dead end! At this point it dawned on me that being systematic may be important - I decided to try each of these movements with the other pieces starting in different positions. I decided to try each of these movements with the other pieces starting in different positions but now moving in different directions! Many things are possible and they all seem to end up more or less with the same impasse! At some point during this laborious trawl through multiple orientations and directions I managed to get 2 pieces rotated, progress 8) Again I could go no further and this time I struggled to put it back the way it came! So far I had been at it for about a week (not continuously, you dope! I do eat and drink and unfortunately have to work! about 3 or 4 hours in total). Just try not to drop it around

Amazing thing! It took me two days, about 20 minutes per day. But I felt challenged.

Even after watching several YouTube videos on how to solve this, I still have not been able to get this one apart. It's a pretty puzzle though and I like to play with it when I get fidgety.

This is not really a puzzle you can logically figure out on your own unless you're familiar with the mechanics. Even when you DO have the solution and fully understand the mechanics of how it works, the solution only works part of the time. For this reason alone, I do not recommend this puzzle for anyone that actually enjoys doing puzzles and coming up with the solution on their own. When you figure it out, the solution is not guaranteed to work and thus gives you the false sense that you did it wrong. I would say based on the mechanics, it's a 5/6 in difficulty but based on consistent repeat-ability, I give it a 1/6.That's my negative part of the review. It's not fun to solve on your own, but once you know the solution you can appreciate the mechanics. The construction of this puzzle where it really shines. It a 6/6. It's definitely worth the price just as a desk ornament. Very high quality. As for my negative comments, the repeat-ability of the puzzle does not appear to my puzzle being of lower quality. The craftsmanship is very good. It's just not reliable to solve.The way I ended up solving this puzzle the first time was by complete accident. I'm willing to bet the majority of folks claiming to have solved this puzzle did it by accident as well. A word to anyone new to this puzzle, do NOT try to force anything. There's no, click or sliding piece or anything that needs to be "loosened up". As you move the puzzle around, you hear tumblers inside. That's your clue. Like a lock, the tumblers need to be set appropriately before the puzzle will come apart. Do not pull the pieces apart. When you have the solution, one half will lift effortlessly off the other half. That's your other clue. The novelty is in how the puzzle was made and why the solution is the way it is. I only wish it was 100% repeatable once you have the solution. If you're like me and cannot get the puzzle apart even with the solution, I recommend shaking the puzzle before trying the solution again. Not a sure fix, but it'll increase your chances of solving it.Definitely a puzzle to add to ones puzzle collection based on it's unique design and solution. I only wish it was 100% consistent when solving.Update: Although I only give this a 3/5 star rating, I also HIGHLY recommend it. The puzzle can be maddening because you can't see the solution, but it's very well designed and the quality is very good. This is my first Hamayama puzzle and based on quality alone, I just ordered 5 more.

This is a tricky puzzle, but once you get the hang of it you try to solve it faster.

Muy buen rompecabezas solo que al momento de manipularlo queda un poco flojo pero es muy divertido y buen material esta muy macizo.

Despite my initial concerns when I started playing with this it is actually good quality. This will make more sense once you've solved the puzzle.I actually solved this accidentally. So that was awkward.

I acquired this puzzle as my first puzzle into the foray into brain teaser puzzles. This puzzle consists of 3 pieces and requires you dismantle and re-assemble the puzzle. My friends and I have probably poured a few hours each (taking turns) into the puzzle. We had no difficulty disassembling the puzzle, but we have not yet solved how to reassemble the puzzle.Really awesome puzzle and great for someone looking for a challenge.
