Rocket Puzzle

Took me a solid twenty minutes before the cone finally popped free, and I actually yelled. The trick is all in the angle you tilt that wooden cone, not brute force. The rocket itself is solid wood and feels great in your hands.

The moment I finally worked out how to free the wooden cone from the rocket without ever touching it felt incredibly satisfying. The design is clever and the challenge is just right for a quick brain teaser.

I was stumped for a solid 20 minutes before I figured out the trick—the way the cone fits perfectly inside the wooden rocket makes you overthink the solution. Really clever design that’s harder than it looks.
