An Isis puzzle, the makers claim that it's the most difficult puzzle ever, to open it you must first solve some clues that come with the instructions, these can be seen online in the product manual <a href="http://www.sharperimage.com/us/en/catalog/product/sku__SW700SIL">here</a>.<br />There is possibly a spoiler in my next link, someone sent me a page that shows an xray of this puzzle, it doesn't explain exactly how it's opened but does show some of the inner workings. However, the <a href="http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17047&amp;start=105">page with the xrays</a> is part of a much larger discussion on the puzzle, I haven't read any further so I don't know how much is revealed about the solution.<br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/harnett65/album%207/pic1203.jpg" /><br />Take a look at <a href="http://www.neatorama.com/category/what-is-it/">Neatorama</a> for more guesses on this one.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />1204.
