このパズルはケーキのように見えますが、実際にはかなり難しいです。この金属製のペストリーの4分の1が切り取られており、内部に3つの同一の層が見えています。目的はシンプルで、まず部品を分解し、次にそれらを元の位置に組み立て直します。言うは易く行うは難しです。Bram Cohenがデザインし、日本のHanayamaが製造しています。
The three identical layers hidden inside make this way trickier than it looks. Took me two evenings to figure out how the quarter slice comes apart, and the metal has a nice weight to it.
I didn't expect a dessert-shaped puzzle to stump me for a whole evening, but those three identical layers had to be rotated in a specific order before the cut-away quarter would slide free. The metal has a nice weight in the hand and the pieces don't rattle loose once it's back together.
The three stacked layers inside looked identical, so I assumed reassembly would be easy. Took me almost an hour to get that cut-away quarter seated right, and the metal has a nice weight to it. Genuinely a satisfying little brain teaser.
