Helix Cast Metal Puzzle from Hanayama Puzzles of Japan is a delightful and very tricky brain teaser puzzle. It consists of two star shaped pieces which pivot on a small central rivet and a chrome colored ring. The object is to separate the ring from the star-shaped pieces.The star shaped pieces have many grooves and recesses and a few smooth openings. One needs to turn the metal ring placing the open ends through the holes in the stars. As you turn the two star-shaped pieces you will create more different pathways and find yourself going around and around in circles for longer than you planned. In some ways this puzzle can be thought of as a 3-D Maze. Rated by the manufacturer as a level 5 difficulty (on a scale of 1 to 6 where 6 is the most challenging.) Brain teaser.
