I just finished solving mine an hour or so ago and I've been working on properly working out how it works since then!

It really is brilliant!

I know what you mean! I had trouble putting back together because I didn't really understand it at first.

Those pictures Wil supplies of the Cross open really don't give the solution away at all!

If anyone is still looking for a Cross, Wil has now sold out of them. It's not sure whether he'll make another batch or not.

He does still have some of his other puzzles available, ranging from 35 euros to 70 euros.

I also received mine today - along with Cola bottles 1 and 4.

I have had a fiddle with the bottles and am stumped so far - need to think(c)

I love the cross - it is beautifully made and took me about 45 minutes to solve and another 15 or so to really understand how all the parts interact. I can now disassemble it in less than a minute! It gives me a kick every time.

I will publish a full blog review this weekend.

Graham that was a rare five minutes mate, well done.

Mine also arrived today and it took me about an hour.
To think this was his first puzzle design from 1979. It's a great piece.

Too right :o I fluked a couple of stages as one of the pieces just happened to be in the right place, and it was only as I went to put it back together that I noticed it :oops:
