Le design de ce compas en laiton donne un indice sur la façon de séparer les deux pièces imbriquées. Attention, il s'agit de l'un des casse-tête mécaniques les plus difficiles de notre collection, et ce compas n'est pas fourni avec des instructions. Le résoudre demandera de la patience et de la créativité.

I’ve spent three evenings on this and still haven’t cracked it, which is exactly what I wanted — the compass face genuinely makes you think about rotation instead of just prying. The two pieces fit so snugly you’d swear they were machined as one solid block. Brutal, but fair.
The brass compass detail isn’t just decorative—it genuinely threw me off for days before I finally spotted the trick. Separating the pieces took real patience, but that satisfying click when they finally came apart made the whole struggle worth it.
Took me nearly an hour to get the two pieces apart, and honestly I had to look at the compass engraving more than once before it clicked. The brass has a nice weight in the hand, though I wish the pieces were just slightly looser to start. Still a great little desk puzzle for the price.
