I am proud of it just a little disappointed that a lost an hour for no need as once i managed to get passed that minor defect it took me a whole 30secs to open the puzzle but i am still pleased with an opening time of 4hours i just wish my experience with the bronze would lead me some progress on the orange but alas i dont not see that happening back to thinking!!

I'm finally registered. My Bronze arrived about a week and a half ago. This is my first Revomaze and (much to my wife's dismay) I am hooked! I decided to go with the Bronze first for a few reasons; 1. No Blues anywhere, and 2. The Bronze seems to be everyone's favorite.

I'm about 10 hours into it and keep getting stuck in dead ends everywhere. Haven't felt the euphoria of finding something new in a while now. Boo.

So far my opinion is that this is a great puzzle, with the minor exception that this tends to roll everywhere when put down. (Mind of it's own) The only change I would make to it would be to have some small flats on the sleeve to make it stay put. I don't want to contend with gravity.

Kind of a lengthy random message for my first post here. Just excited I guess.

well come to the forum and great choice for your 1st puzzle the bronze is a very good puzzle and not too difficult either imho.

keep playing with it and if you havent already draw a map that usually helps to guide you in the right direction.

for this reason i tend to put the pin in the long rest chanel and then stand the revomaze on end (as the core can move out a reasonable distance as the pin is in the long reset channel the puzzle stands on the sleeve and is quite stable).

Just what I wanted to hear Naz :D

Ill have to keep the price a secret from the Missus though.

The response would most likely be...
"You spent how much???"
"On that!!"
"On a toy?!?"
"Its just a piece of metal!!"

We know its more than that though dont we guys & girls haha :lol:

its saddening to hear that, isn't it? especially when you've spent countless hours, months or even years fiddling with it/them.

most people just don't have the patience to fully understand them and appreciate them, unless you actually show them a map, which defies the point of them :(
