IT,S OPEN. could anyone tell me how i add a picture as i dont get it. i have it apart again thanks to marie. i didnt bother with the third ball i just did what marie said and added 1 move of my own and hey presto. love the design of this thing very clever. spotted the third ball and i have to say im disgusted at that part. I cant belive where the third ball is this product is a bit of a rip off because of the third ball location. the way to free the third ball is completly unfair and unlikley for anyone to get i would be quite happy to post the clues and the soloution if i was allowed just because im so peed about the third ball.

uF isn't connected financially, to any manufacturer or game in a legal sense and has a tridition of letting the player's conscience be their guide when it comes to responsible posting.

Meaning, nothing in the way of spoilers or solutions is off-limits.
It's up to you to balance what you post against its possible repurcussions.

In this case, it might affect the manufacturer's income and their willingness to produce/market such items in the future.

Though, in this case, I'd say having a better price point on the existing toy would have been a better business decision.

dear yeoldman as you probably know by previous posts the 3rd ball is elsewhere. the method i use only works because the isis is designed to relock if it was only designed to open then i could not use it. my way is a little time consuming but dosent require you to try to get the 3rd ball into play which i dislike the method of. on a further note after opening i then freed the 3rd ball and relocked the isis to see if it is hard with the 3 balls and found it wasnt. nice toy bad design.
email me at number1barberSPLAThotmail.com and tell me what stage your at and i will try to help. wont post to all

How to open that damn ball

Hey folks.

Read the thread (sorry, it's already 19 pages, most of which are guests asking "how to open it"). But the method has been posted by various people. No reason to keep posting "How?" Just try reading the thread. Really won't take more than 30 min of time. It's a fast read and you WILL find the trick has been laid out a number of times. Take a few notes then try the methodology yourself.

konamouse i understand your point but the info given in the posts are vague and not in any order and to add insult if all isis are like mine there is only two balls not three and the plunger north tip is rubbish. if people post wrong info it does not help. i have opened this 4 times now and can open it in two different ways. at least i said if they want to then email me and i will help.

third ball trick indeed not nice

Hi,

I also opened the ISIS and do agree fully that the trick for getting the 3'd ball is not nice.

fine engineering should not be (*&%$# with

well there is a soloution to the third ball which is to small claims them due to the fact that the isis is not soveable by any puzzle means so the odds of getting a coin is nil. of course they would probably not make the others if people kept doing this. but it really sucks
tvg have you found any other way to open it without third ball. you was right about lock stuck open but it still works that way as well even if i reset

opening

Well,

Inspecting the "isis" I come to the conclusion that you need the third ball,
to be able to open it for sure


Sure, there are other methods, but these methods depend on:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

-the precise mechanical tolerances of all parts (e.g. make the lock "stick" in open position, get it there through a whack, or through turning the reverse way): not all puzzles are exactly the same, and even if they are. the precise mecahnical behaviour could be different, making this impossible for some

or

-a tricky combination of a force moving the lock in open position, or "half open position" and then a quick "turn" of the two halves.

the only surefire way that everybody with the right instructions (and two hands Smile ) can do is to be able to push open the lock and for this you need the third ball in just the right place.

the other methods help you out of the misery if you reset your isis the wrong way



Just my oopinion
