This metal take-apart puzzle is so much fun to play with, you'll want to solve it again and again. Two lower-case "a" shapes are hooked together. One is golden and one is silver but other than that, they appear to be more or less identical. Fiddle with the pieces to reveal an extremely satisfying sequence of flipping and slipping movements that allow the two a's to rotate around, inside and through each other. The solution is simple but exciting and the repeat play value is high.

Designed by Vesa Timonen of Finland. Manufactured by Hanayama of Japan.

Emma Q. ★★★★★

I’ve had this on my desk for a week and I still catch myself picking it up between meetings. The way the two metal a shapes interlock feels surprisingly solid, and there’s a satisfying little click when you finally separate them.

Christopher R. ★★★★★

The golden and silver a shapes fit together so snugly that finding the release point feels like a genuine "aha" moment. I've already solved it three times this week, and it still makes me smile every time I pick it up off the coffee table.

Alexander N. ★★★★★

I’ve had this on my desk for a week and I still pick it up every time I walk by. The two-tone gold and silver finish makes it look almost decorative, but separating them takes more thought than you’d expect—the satisfying click when they finally come apart is worth the frustration.
