Einstein Brain Bender Atom Puzzle

This is not much of a puzzle, more a contest of manipulation over engineering! It is obvious how it comes apart and goes together, one just has to trust that it will not break.However, I wanted it more an an ornament (yes, I am the sort of geek that collects things like that - sad ennit!)and as that I am happy with this item.

I bought this to keep my mum, dad, sister and brother-in-law occupied and out of mischief while I cleared up after one course and brought out the next. It worked a treat - they loved it and it kept them busy and amused for ages!

My ten year old daughter has used this but I could not find any directions to explain what the aims and objectives of this ball shaped object was

A good occupational exercise for those with reduced mobility and sedentary existence.Keep the mind active and the muscles and tendon exercised.Improves dexterity, focus, mind, speed and it's fun.Good price. Sure, I'll recommend it.

It was a really trick to even disasemble this one, a good puzzle to have in the office, for those times where you need to take your mind for a stroll.

Its a fun little puzzle to go and mess about with. Great to give to your friends to see if they can figure it out.

All this amounts to is rebuilding the structure in the picture. No real puzzle, barely a 3D jigsaw. Very disappointed.
