The Isis Adventure

Hey guys

I few days ago I noticed the lid on my Tessarisis now moves a few mm's clockwise

Is this a sign I'm getting somewhere it has it always moved and I haven't noticed before?

This puzzle has be very confused! Lol

The lid? Sure you don't mean Tarka? The only moving pieces on my Tessarisis are the wheels (although two of them - on opposite sides) have locked, and the Tessarisis badge, which is spring-loaded and apparently what opens when things unlock. I think I'm close given that the wheels are fully depressed and no longer rotating, but I don't have the clues handy to remember what else it said about opening it.

Mine did exactly this so I would say it's not necessarily a bad sign

Nope I mean the Tessarisis!

I managed to get them to depress also but they are not anymore!

Hope my Tess isn't broke!

I don't think yours is broken. I've managed to un-depress my wheels...just rotate it the other way. I feel like I'm getting close, but the "friend" clue is throwing me off a bit.

Nothing to worry about fellow puzzlers sounds like you are all going soewhere

Indeed Jazz but is that somewhere in the right direction!

Next status update for the holy 5%'s!

The lid has now locked in place and won't move in the slight twisted position where the lid has turned a few mm's clockwise.

I also have one of the circles on the underside locked flush with the puzzle!

Am I still going in the right direction?

Andy

well errrrrrrr, 66 phone might help

That's a No then!

Correct hahahahahaha

Glad you're having so much fun. However, just to rub it in a bit:

I took a Tessarisis to a wedding last week and handed it round at the party, various people fiddled with it and admired it.

Then a young lady said "Is this supposed to happen" as she handed me the open puzzle.

I could only respond "Holy Sh t!"

She'd done it without any clues and in just a few minutes flat.


Then again she couldn't re-open it once I'd reset the puzzle, so I guess it was a fluke and the other people fiddling happened to line everything up for her - still pretty impressive though.

Just what I wanted to hear!

I must admit the Tessarisis has me more confused than the others in the series so far!

Although I feel I must be missing something as 4 peeps have already opened theirs!

Andy

Just wait till you meet the devil inside ha ha hah ha

"The lid has now locked in place and won't move in the slight twisted position where the lid has turned a few mm's clockwise."

Ohhhh, *now* I see what you're talking about I hadn't noticed that feature of the Tessarisis before, but was looking at the machining of the body and realized it's got more to it than I thought (i.e. it's not just about the wheels and the badge)
