	Amour - Cast Puzzle Difficulty Level 5 ««««« Can you separate the 'Adam' and 'Eve' loops from the heart?   Of course, this is only half the puzzle... don't forget you have to put it back the same way you found it to say you've actually done the puzzle. The puzzle was invented in 1991 by the Japanese master metal smith Akio Yamamoto. The puzzle comes with a cast loop at the top of the heart so by putting it on a chain you can make it into an attractive pendant.  Makes a great Valentine's Gift, Engagement Gift or Wedding Present.

	Baroq - Cast Puzzle Difficulty Level 4 «««« The puzzle is to separate the two pieces fashioned after the image of intertwining Bach melodies. At first glance this puzzle may seem similar to the interloced nail puzzles.... Beware, it's nothing like it. With this puzzle almost every surface of each of the two pieces needs to touch every surface of the other piece to get them apart.  Quite some manouvering involved.  A personal favourite of Mr Puzzle's. The puzzle was invented by the Japanese master metal smith Akio Yamamoto in 2003.  He says he took his inspiration for this puzzle from a Bach melody.  He describes the puzzle as two pieces that elegantly release from each other after the dynamic buildup to an inspirational finale. You may wish to choose a somewhat luxurious and relaxing ambience when attempting this puzzle. The puzzle comes with a cast loop at the top of one of the pieces so by putting it on a chain you can make it into an attractive pendant.		Price:	QTY:

	Chain - Cast Puzzle Difficulty Level 6 «««««« Can you separate the three links of the chain and then get it back together again? What's special about this puzzle is that it can be solved three different ways, depending on which of the three pieces has been chosen as the middle link.		Price:	QTY:

	Enigma - Cast Puzzle Difficulty Level 6 «««««« The three pieces of this puzzle just slide apart, you don't need to force them.   Can you work out the twisting movement required to achieve this and to then get them back together again?  Considered without doubt amongst the most difficult of all the cast puzzles in this series by Nob Yoshigahara... high praise indeed from the most prolific inventor of puzzles ever!  The original version of this puzzle was patented in 1975 in USA to inventor Eldon Vaughn and when he found it Nob thought it could not be done.

	News - Cast Metal Puzzle Difficulty Level 6 «««««« The object is to separate the two parts - N E W S.   Nob Yoshigahara (1936 - 2004) came up with the idea for this puzzle when he was 19 years old while strolling home in the snow one day. Unfortunately saying anything here about it's construction would give away how to solve it.  We certainly can't dapppoint the fans that have come to expect frustratingly difficult puzzles from Nob.   Besides,  Nob always loved the fans who refused to take any hint the most! The level of difficulty is very high because it's very difficult to work out the solution to the puzzle.  Once done the puzzle is not difficult to memorise. The key word in "needle".		Price:	QTY:
