The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Hi all.
A friend of my mother just came from England, and visited us, she brought a a metal puzzle to me:




That little metal thing at the middle, its the metal puzzle, the objective is to separate the two from each other, I started to try to do it, after some time,that was becoming annoying, and then, I realiazed that, that metal puzzle was one the easy ones, only the first degree of difficulty:

ÿeasy peasy(Mines this one :blink: )

ÿÿLemon Squeezy

ÿÿÿGetting tricky

ÿÿÿÿRather tricky

ÿÿÿÿÿTaking the Micky(I hope that I will never see this one :lol )

This can drive you insane, when you think that you have finnaly found a way after all that hard work...... :slap  the only thing you find is another dead end.

Ps:I still haven't done it!!! :p , neither did my family  :lol , maibe he can do it, well, will see.
Gonna try to do it again :smile

I had one of those cursed things and I couldn't do it for the life of me! I just didn't understand it, and most of the time I was just randomly moving it around, hoping to find a loop-hole. I can't see how anybody can actually figure those out through pure logic. It always looks like two pieces of metal that aren't coming apart, no matter what you do :p

I remember those.  Those had a short term fad here in this city, then seemed to vanish.

Hello:
 An uncle had lots of those, I remember playing with them, they are very fun... and tricky, and sometimes very hard, and sometimes not so hard :smile .

Ah, yes.  The Metal Brain Teaser Puzzles! :D

The level of frustration one can get from them is as famous as the old Rubix Cube. (I can't even solve THAT dang thing.) I actually learned to make teasers like this once back in Junior High.  They are SO simple to make and SO tough to figure out.

Of course, I'm sure the answer is on the internet somewhere.  Just Google and there's a good chance it'll pop up. ;)
