Lotus Flower- Strijbos

Lotus Flower by Wil Strijbos.

Inspired by the Yen puzzle that Wil Strijbos created decades ago, the Lotus Flower puzzle has an aluminium disc that needs to be freed from the nail keeping it in place. That seemingly impossible task is only the start of the solving adventure though... You are not finished solving this puzzle until you know why this puzzle is named after the Lotus flower.

Dimensions; 110 x 55 x 20 mm.

This copy comes from the 1st owner. It is in perfect condition, it has no scratches on the surface.

"Mind the Gap" Warning for intermediate puzzlers: There is a small black pin on one end of the Lotus. This pin must not be removed from the puzzle. It has nothing to do with the solution and it is there for your safety. The Lotus is spring loaded. Also take care of the 'cover plate' inside. When you close the Lotus again, make sure that the cover plate is always back in its original position. Failing to do so may increase the difficulty of the puzzle above intermediate level.
