I am really surprised to discover how difficult and challenging this knot puzzle really is. I have had it for a week now and although I managed to separate one of the bits away from the knot, I am more stuck now than I was at the beginning. You would think it would be easier now, but this simply is not the case. I was even tempted to get some hints from the solutions book but that's not why I bought it so I would probably only end up just cheating myself. I've given it a little bit of a rest for now but I will be trying again soon. It is very frustrating, but I love it.
