この真鍮製コンパスのデザインは、2つの組み合わさったピースをどのように分離するかのヒントを与えてくれます。あらかじめお伝えしておきますが、これは当コレクションの中でも最も難しいメカニカルパズルの一つであり、このコンパスには説明書が付属していません。解くには忍耐と創造性が必要です。

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.
