Cast Medal

I found this puzzle trickier than level 2 (6 here). I even found the alternate solution, which uses only one hole of the second medal, and checked the original solution to find out what I was looking for but did not find by myself. The story for this puzzle is very interesting, the solution is unexpected, the material is proper for this puzzle. Overall - a wonderful puzzle!

I haven't found a Hanayama puzzle I don't like. For a 2 star rating, it took me longer to figure out than I thought it would. I solved this after 5 days of on-and-off tinkering. Like the rest of the series, the Cast Medal is very well made and satisfying to play with.

I just fell in love with this one. It is so beautiful! Very sturdy, very well made. And it has a little bit of a history too, perfect to entertain friends after dinner. The puzzle in itself is not the hardest, by far, but is is very brilliant nonetheless. You will definitely feel a sense of achievement after solving it.

A nice puzzle I found slightly harder than many other 2-star Hanayamas. Some tight tolerances are required, but the puzzle is very thick and solid and the rings sturdy. I discovered that there are actually two ways to solve this puzzle, one of them is shorter but involves a very tight move which is hard to line up (this solution uses only one hole in the plate with 7 holes). The longer solution is the one given in the solution page.
