Would you like to explain yourself?

I spent ages trying to figure this exact puzzle out last night. I kept thinking you wouldn't have to push at all to get it apart and it would just slide off. So I basically solved it pretty quick but thought there must have been some easier way 🥴

Thanks for dropping by, happy holidays 😁

Thanks for this, just ripped all the crackers open for the fish but I got this instead, the solution sheet wasn’t helpful 😂

[@oliviabrown8688]

Nvm I think I broke it 😳

[@GrandadIsAnOldMan]

This didnt work for me. My metal bars are more bent. They're sharp cornered

You caught a rare moment on film here: you only get free/accidental solves once or twice in a lifetime, some people never get them lol
(The best though is when someone has spent the better part of 10 mins fidgeting with a puzzle and you get to try it for the first time and you've got it in 2.3 seconds. Then they mock flip the table.)

The principle for most of these wire puzzles is the same, just a matter of lining up the gaps. Of course working out the orientation to get them to line up may take a while.
