An ancient mystery is reinvented for mind-bending, modern-day fun. Gordian's Knot Brainteaser Challenge from ThinkFun is based on the Gordian knot tied by Midas. The Great Oracles proclaimed that the person who solved the puzzle would rule the world. This colorful knot features six interlocking pieces, but it takes a whopping 69 different moves to take the knot apart. By sliding the six pieces past each other, the Gordian's Knot will come apart. Some pieces will easily move throughout the process, but beware -- that doesn't mean you made the right move.

Game comes with a 40-page, step-by-step solution book in case you get stumped, and helps you put the knot back together once the puzzle is solved. For one player.

Summary: Vey Fun And Chalenging Puzzle
Comment: The ThinkFun Gordians Knot is a wonderful puzzle that any person at any age can enjoy. It is very challenging and I have not yet gotten mine taken apart. It is nice to know that it comes with instructions, however, I plan not to use them. But it is still nice to know that there is a safety net if you absolute can not solve it. It is very durable and can be set down at any stage of the puzzle and will remain in that shape, until you are ready to work with it again. I highly recommend this great puzzle to anyone who is looking for a fun and chalenging brain teaser to figure out.

Comment: Using the booklet included with the product, it was pretty easy to take the knot apart, but difficult to put back together.

Summary: good idea, poor execution.
Comment: I ordered this for my son, who is young (7) but loves these kinds of things. Knowing he would need the assembly instructions I was happy to know they were included. He actually got it apart on his own!! But the problem now is there is a misprint on the assembly guide. Steps 9 and 10 are missing and 13 is printed twice. I hoped to find an online guide but I can't find one. I hope someone uploads one soon. Until then, I'm disappointed.

Summary: Great for adults with patient
Comment: Finding a solution takes at least a couple of hours for an adult with some skills and experiences on brain teasers. Putting it back after dissembling is near to impossible without looking into the manual. You need to be observant and persistent to enjoy the toy.

Summary: Knot Your Typical Puzzle!
Comment: It took me about 1.5 hours of continuously working on it to solve this puzzle, with zero help from a booklet or interwubs. I was in one of those moods where I wanted to be engrossed in a puzzle and this one surely fit the bill! It's difficult to put down once you start playing with it, but don't anticipate solving it unless you have some serious time on your hands. Reassembling it is also a major challenge, but I think I'm going to use the instructional video to do that. Then I'll attempt to solve it again and find out if I can do it any quicker the second time around :)
