Some features of the Blue are exaggerated a bit in the Green which makes it an order of magnitude or so more difficult. While the Green Revomaze is the second in the series, it may not be the most difficult to initially open compared to the higher level mazes, but many consider it the most difficult (pre-Gold) to re-open after completion.

Why is the most difficult to reopen? Can you tell me without giving anything away

I don't think "difficult" is the right word. Maybe that it requires the most practice to reopen.

Put another way: opening Green while drunk would be 10 times harder than opening it sober (I actually tried this last week as an added challenge. :lol: )... Come to think of it, that's probably true with all the revomazes.

As you can see from my sig, I have a nice collection going, and I still think that next to silver, green is my favorite of all the puzzles, for exactly this reason mentioned here.
Opening order:
BR 50h. Fast=28s
BK Obs 12h.
BL 25m. Fast=12s.

RD 1h.
RD Obs 6h.
OR 20h.
LM 40h. Fast=2m12s
IN 16h.
AQ 15m.
TI 8h.

The green is logically a bit trickier and requires more dexterity than the blue. Having said that, I opened the green in about 2/3 the time as the blue since I was more familiar with the mechanics of the puzzle. BTW, these were the Obsessions since I don't own any metal versions.

Green is harder to open repeatedly because knowledge of the complete map is no guarantee that you'll be able to follow the proper route.

I completed the Blue Obsession a couple weeks ago and started fiddling around with the Green Obsession as well as Bronze Extreme about two days later. Although I honestly haven't had any opportunities to really focus on either one, yet, I can already tell that my belief that they would be similar to the Blue Obsession was wrong. They each seem to have very unique --- attitudes??? I will be enoying these for awhile :-)
Went ahead and ordered a Silver Extreme last week.
Obsessions:
Blue, Green, and Black - Opened.
Extremes:
Blue, Green, Bronze, Orange - Opened.
Red, Silver, Gold - In-hand.
