My problem is that my wife hates doing puzzles!!! :shock: :shock:

Whenever I've given one to her to play with she gives up after just a few minutes and insists that I show her the solution. When I show it to her she just shrugs and turns away.

Worse than that! If they are noisy like wire or glass puzzles then she hates me doing them and I get that laser stare and the awful burning smell emanating from my head! :o :o

If I leave any nice decorative puzzles around the house, you can be sure they'll be placed on my computer keyboard in under 2 minutes - even if I'm typing at the time :? :?

I can't afford to replace her - plus she's doing ok for a first wife! :lol: :lol:

my wife loves the karakuri boxes (and other puzzle boxes)...
in fact, she has a few puzzle boxes of her own (one karakuri, one Kagen)...
yes, both were gifts from me :)

I tried her on revos, and she really didn't like them (mostly an ergonomic issue).

My wife tolerates my puzzling, but thinks spending more than $5 on a puzzle is a waste of resources. She plays with them for maybe two minutes, sometimes figures them out, but mostly leaves them in place and is mesmerized that I ever figure them out. I think she'd probably be phenomenal at them, but she doesn't really try.

It's a great puzzle! And also one of the few you could confidently run over with a car and know it would still work just fine. :lol:

...you might need a new tyre though, and depending on speed, perhaps a new rim as well... :D
