Puzzle Difficulty

[glewra]

I've been thinking about the relative difficulty of the various SW puzzles. I ranked them based on the time it takes me to solve them now the puzzles have loosened up and i'm reasonably well practiced.

Ranked Easiest to Hardest; Nkryptor - KuKu - ISIS - ISIS 1B - Ramisis

What do other people think?

[evilkeen]

I'd put the NKryptor and the Kuku the other way round I think.

[dinoklein]

I wouldn't, still haven't opened mine!

[bluesign2k]

Kuku - ISIS - ISIS 1A/B - Ramisi5 - NKryptor - ISIS 1C

Nkryptor goes high up because I still haven't managed to open it using what I believe is the proper method.
1C is at the top because the inside hasn't seen the light of day since I had it "upgraded"

[dinoklein]

Now I'm convinced I have a difficult kuku, if everybody else considers it to be very easy...or maybe I just don't get it...

Well I think I'd put the Kuku higher if it were based on first-time opening, but glewra did say once they're loosened up!

Kuku - ISIS - ISIS 1A/B - Ramisi5 - NKryptor - ISIS 1C

Well I didn't think the proper NKryptor method was that hard. The main problem if I haven't done it lately is certain things going to certain places they shouldn't and necessitating the screwdriver approach.

Ramisi5 is certainly high on my list, as that still remains closed at the moment (although I'm thinking I may still have a dodgy one). The 1C has to be at the top though.

The 1C has to be at the top though.

I thought the 1Cs were designed to be pretty much impossible to open!?

[evilkeen]

Exactly, that's why it's at the top of the list, i.e. hardest!

I think that the resetting procedures ought to be taken into account as well, so my list reads:

Opening, NKryptor - Kuku - Isis - 1B - 1A - Ramisis - 1C

Resetting, Kuku - NKryptor - Isis - 1B - Ramisis - 1C - 1A

Based on my own initial opening times I would have to sort them this way:
Isis - Golden Pyramid - Kuku(hard) - NKryptor - Ramisis(disassemble) - 1C

If they all would have funtioned flawless from the start, it would probably have been:
Kuku - Pyramid - Isis - NKryptor - Ramisis - 1C

And for repeated opening 'as intended' once you know the trick:
Pyramid - NKryptor - Isis - Kuku - 1C - Ramisis

What is this "Pyramid" puzzle of which you speak? Or do you refer to a an Isis Pyramid riddle?

So why the 1C and the Ramisis the other way round for repeated opening? Have you opened the 1C??

[LouIsis]

Yes, golden pyramid (with riddle) took 1 month and 2 days to open first time.

So why the 1C and the Ramisis the other way round for repeated opening? Have you opened the 1C??

Yes, 1C took 8 months and 8 days to open first time.
