my little sis found this toy yesterday.. mum said it was her's when she was young.. lol.. what kind of toy is it leh?? haha.. this is how it looks like unsolved.. aih, it took me some patience to solve it le.. not much brain power involved.. just lots of patience and some deft hand movements and steady motor control.. looks easy huh?? it is, but if you get into some trouble with this.. here's a tip.. don't bother shaking it hard like you would a clogged pepper pox cos it won't help your cause, believe me.. i tried *evil cackle* brute force certainly won't help to force the tiny beads into place.. and if you are not careful, that incessant shaking will just result in you having to start all over again.. rofl..
*can i have a carving knife to slice this up??* this is how i look after trying for a few times.. *irritated ady* why can't i get them in??!!?!? (mum: huh?? its all called patience~ aih~ why you keep shaking it like that i don't know..) and so, i get back to work.. patience, patience, patience..
yeah!!! sweet victory~ i got it!! (only to discover half an hour later that Xin finished the puzzle in a few minutes only.. it took me like what, half an hour or maybe more?? =.="') *cry
look, this is how the solved puzzle looked like! the largest metal bead in the middle can't be moved across the red divider.. but the other beads will fall through real easily.. the other side is hollow.. and if any of the medium beads fall through, prepare yourself to put in extra time to get it out again.. cos it seems to 'attach' to the other side very, very well~kakaka.. interesting lar this thing.. a useful distraction for when i'm bored.. lol..
