I'd imagine if enough direct force was placed on the end of a Revomaze, it could shear the pin in half. It'd be a lot of force. And the random dynamics of 'falling down 5 flights of stairs' probably would just cause a whole bunch of dents or broken walls. Now if it was dropped, from 5 stories up, in a relatively controlled (no spin) fall, I can totally see the shearing happen.
Either way I don't suspect the sleeve is in great shape, which means it'l probably get stuck in certain areas of the maze.

Re: Broken Puzzle
Interestingly, the pin is far stronger than the core ... you'll bend a pin, but not break it. It will however cause irreparable damage to the core, and possibly the sleeve, both of which are softer metals than the pin
Re: Broken Puzzle
Oh, five flights of stairs, the inner core was absolutely destroyed. Don't forget though that I had another puzzle with which to play. The puzzle I received was broken in such a way that I was able to free the pin by destroying a part of the maze that the pin would never land in again (I won't elaborate as I may have said too much all ready). In any case, feel free to pm me with an email address if you are that interested. I won't send pictures via pm though because that would require me to resize them and frankly, they become worthless if made too small. In any such case, an explanation of how I did this would kill a bit of the mystery that we all come to realize after playing with one of these puzzles.
Re: Broken Puzzle
I understand what you did. Hope you'll be able to share your pictures with us someday.
