The ISIS Puzzle

November 29, 2007 10:36 AM EST | Toy Gadgets | Email to Friend

For more than a year, the ISIS has challenged the most accomplished puzzle experts in the United Kingdom. At last, the ISIS phenomenon - "the most difficult puzzle ever" - has come to America.

Each ISIS is unique, with just one solution. The puzzle is a gleaming orb, handcrafted in England of a premier alloy of aluminum and constructed of precisely engineered, moveable bands. Each band is etched with hieroglyphics; the challenge is to position those bands in the right combination to unlock the ISIS. You are given 10 encrypted clues to decipher.

The ISIS is a mesmerizing object that is almost as impossible to put down as it is to solve. Your individual purchase is etched with two unique 10-digit numbers, one visible on the outside, the other hidden (perhaps forever?) on the inside. The ISIS can be a spectacular gift or decorative object - beautifully presented in a highly polished solid wood box. The alloy sphere is 2.75" in diameter; it weighs 1 lb. Available in the U.S. exclusively from The Sharper Image. Select Titanium & Silver or Fuchsia & Gold.

Please note: All sales of The ISIS are final due to the unique nature of this special puzzle.
