I think its because he is Dutch .. they are a suspect lot ...
What with their "coffee" shops and their red light districts and their cheese ... it all adds up.
Kidding. ;)

I can't believe it ... it's open.
God knows how ... I don't think I did it the way I was supposed to ....
I only got it this morning .. and believe me ... I am no expert.

I think I had better tell Wil that a dummy like me can solve it.
Which upsets me a bit ....

Edit.....
Giving too much away ....

I still have not solved a Revomaze !!!! grrrrr....
I want a different colour .. this green one is defective ... :lol:

Emailing Wil.....

The more I think about it .. the more I think the "hole" is the locking mechanisim and somehow I cleared it ?

Confusing .. more investigation required ... less beer.....


Edit ... Wil has emailed me ... it is definitely an unauthorised solution.

Well .. I feel kind of big headed now.
Wil is going to improve his washer puzzle based on my feedback.
Now .. can the Revo be hacked ?

yeah i need to email wil about the washer cylinder because i opened mine via an unauthorised method as the mechanism seized due to the tolerances being too high and after a bit of work out the garage i managed to get it working again and there is now no fear of it seizing up again so i think he should address those tolerance issues as i know a few people have experienced issues due to this!

Mine didn't seize up .. mine was too loose.

I think Wil has it now.

The real problems are tolerances.

Some are too tight .. others are too loose ....

I think he will pimp his ride by the sound of it.

I think the biggest problem has been swarf :(

I made damn sure after I opened my second one that I removed any of the loose machining ;)
