Product Description
At first glance, it looks as if there is only one ring hanging from the grid but there are in fact two rings attached with a magnetic force. Can you separate them from the grid and return them to their original positions? After you conquer that, try to fit the two rings at the four-crossing points on the grid indicated by the numbers. The level of difficulty increases as players aim for crssings with higher numbers. Theme: Magnetism. An ambitious product by Oskar packed with multiple proglems to be solved.

 Excellent Puzzle June 22, 2008

This is the most complex and entertaining "remove the ring" puzzle I've ever had the pleasure of solving. Just removing and replacing the ring requires a surprising number of steps, but there are even more challenges that this description doesn't mention.
Do you see the triangles stamped into the middle four crossed bars? Each of those is numbered with the difficulty, 1-4, of placing the ring diagonally across the gap each arrow is pointing at. These extra challenges are a delightful addition to an already fun, durable, and well-made puzzle.
I can't recommend this one enough for puzzle fans!

I gave this item to a relative as a gift. They seemed to enjoy it quite a bit BUT I did not have direct experience with the gift.
It would be nice if the vendor allowed buyers to include a gift card with their purchase.

It's listed as difficulty five, but the Hanayama Vortex (also a 5) was much, much more difficult. Getting the rings off is essentially a simple task, and once the mechanics of the puzzle are understood, it only takes about 10-15 minutes to work the rings off. The Vortex took me and a friend several days to disassemble (and another to reassemble), and the total time to remove and replace the rings on the Duet the first time was about thirty minutes.
It's durable, and fun. But it's just not as difficult as the rating would lead you to believe.
