Thank you so much. I have been traveling with this puzzle. Got stopped by TSA every time I was late for a flight! Then, when i got it apart i havent been able to put humpty dumpty back together! so i've had this jingling all in my pocket and bag. Thank you a ton for making this!

That puzzle is a lot of fun, my wife and I got it apart alright, but after a bottle of wine we could not figure out how to get it back together. Great video sir, thanks for sharing the solution

Lucid and well-produced exposition. I solved it randomly initially and have been trying to formalise the most efficient (least number of moves) solution. Excellent stuff - many thanks.

Thank you! I was having trouble with the reassembly procedure, and your solution of leaving (Jim) up a little helped tons! I couldn't do it at all before watching your video. Thanks again!🙏

Thank you. 4 days of trying to put it back together with no success

It also works by pushing the 1st and 2nd pieces through the cylinder in opposite directions. Once you can see the two notched rings inside the cylinder and understand the mechanics of how its working you're on the home straight. 20-25 mins to take apart, 10 mins to put together.

Fantastic! I went over to some Indonesian friends, and the first time I saw this puzzle. I tried to fix it but couldn't. Thanks

[Cheesepuncher]

Thanks for this video. I took it to bits in about 15 minutes but I'd never have got it back together lol

[sparkeyjames]

I object to being a an object of your puzzle solving.

[hinatashoyo]

Thanks me and my mom have been trying to put it together

[Powerenid]

So helpful! English is not my 1st language so I had to decrease speed to 0.75 ;) but it was very clear, thanks a bunch!

[jacktaylor]

I had to watch how to put it back together like 20 times, i swear the name jim is ingrained in my brain now 😂😂😂

[TheHarleyhillbilly]

It took me about 50 minutes to get apart, I have to confess I got lucky in the fact that the first piece to drop down was the correct piece that allowed the rings to turn. About 15 minutes putting it back together.

[DavidGriffiths]

Thank you! You really ought to have explained which end of Jim you were inserting back into the rings upon the reassembly. But i got it, thanks heaps!

[superscribe]

Omg putting it back together had me stumped.... Geez, going from opposite directions didnt occur to me lol, i dont know how I get it apart but it worked hahaha

[dylanlangston]

putting it back together is the real puzzle
