The Blue and Green Extremes are the very similar to their Obsession counterparts, so the Bronze Extreme would be your next logical step.

Excellent! Thanks for that Stigy. Although I reckon I'm going to want to start a collection and will probably order all of them anyway. I'm already checking the finances to see if I could preorder the collector's set. :D

Blimey! Is this what Revomaze does to your mind? :lol:

Thank you, I'm sure I will enjoy them. I'll be putting in the order for my Bronze on Thursday (payday). :D

So all three of my Obsessions arrived today, and wow they are a lot more heavy duty than I expected!
I set to work straight away and opened the Blue in just under 3 hours! I don't think I've ever been more proud of myself! But my fingers hurt like hell. :D
I'll register them tomorrow once I'm off my phone and back at a computer.

Now.....the Green!

Great job! That's under the average. Do yourself a favor and take a day off, or at least don't revo for any extended period of time without breaks. It can do a number on your fingers/wrist/shoulder/sanity/personal life. Get ready for the green ;) Below is one of my favorite descriptions of that particular puzzle:
zrd wrote: Green is like driving down a steep, winding mountain road at night, in the fog, blindfolded.

The road is covered with ice and it's just started to rain.

You've been driving for 15 hours and you keep nodding off. Your hands and wrists feel like rusty old clamps.

Your brakes don't work.

Well done Paradox - that IS good going...

I'm afraid the whole sore hands thing is a bit of a right of passage with these puzzles - little and often is a pretty good mantra...

Enjoy your Green.

Superb! Paradox
It's just winding up for the rollercoaster of fun. The green is fantastic.

MATT - Glad you posted that ref, as I had not seen it before ;)

Thanks guys!

I think I will take a break, otherwise there's a better than good chance that my fingers are going to drop off, but I think I'll give the Green a go tomorrow.

And now the Bronze has been ordered too! Bye bye free-time/life/feeling in fingers etc. :lol:

The Green is open! And that thing was evil! :evil: A few very very sneaky creations inside that thing.

Took around 5 hours in total, which was far longer than I took on the Blue. But either way....bring on the Black!

Let's see if I can get it done before the Bronze arrives. :D
