Hey all,

Just joining everyone from the Bay Area of California! Just got one of these this past w/e and cracked the cipher in 2 hours, but am having... challenges... with the sphere.

I've figured out how most of the clues relate, but now the top ring of my sphere seems to be coming off (there's a gap!) and I'm wondering if this is normal? Has anyone else experienced this? I mean clue 11 is not something i went overboard with, so i hiiighly doubt it's that.

thoughts welcomed!

Hey,

How big is the gap? Can you just push it back down?
One of my isis has a gap about twice as big as it should be where the mechanism contacts with the ring, it doesn't look like it's gonna come off any more so I don't worry about it :)
If yours does look like it's gonna come off then I'd probably suggest PMing PUZZ

Thanks - it's about the width of the edge of a penny (not sure what the pom equivalent is) but 1-2 mm's. I've pushed it back down, but it does come back up after a while... it's frustrating cuz i'm already pullin my hair out over how to figure this gdang thing out, but to have this is just adding to my mounting despair lol :D

Gap in rings

This sometimes occurs, it should not affect the puzzle in anyway, DO NOT try and lever the ring off though, this would not be wise !

As you all know every Isis Puzzle is handmade in the UK and therefore there are small differences between each puzzle, but the small differences do not affect the solution.

LoL - "this would not be wise" is enough to convince me to NOT lean in the direction i was tempted to go if all else fails.

thanks!
