Oops...

A friend gave me a 3D puzzle. These can be pretty tricky — http://365project.org/tags/3d%20puzzles — and initially I couldn't even discover how to *dis*assemble it.

I finally realized what little trick was needed and loosened — but did not remove —
one piece. After further study (but not really learning anything), I removed the first piece and replaced it a time or two, turning the assembled puzzle around to see which piece might come out next.

Finally, without really having studied the overall structure of the assembled puzzle, it just fell completely apart.

I have little hope of ever assembling this one. Oh, I *will* try, and I hope there's a photo online of the assembled puzzle, but this one's going to be hard!

Oh dear! I hate to tell you I have what might be the same puzzle, and it's been in a bowl for five years waiting for someone to figure out how to put together.

@houser934 Mine came from Pier One Imports. I think it's this one: https://www.ebay.com/i/172926957240?rt=nc
Later edit: Nope; that's not the one.
Here it is assembled, https://365project.org/rhoing/365/2022-07-05

@rhoing Different, then. When assembled, mine make a "solid" cube.

[Jane Anderson]

At least you gave it a try, which I probably would not even attempt based on previous experiences.

A good puzzle for cold wet days.

Oh I love those! I had some round ones too when I was young.

LOL! That may be one of the ones I have. Three came in one box.
