From the Manufacturer: Gear Ball--This puzzle is very similar to the Gear Cube puzzle by Oskar van Deventer. There is a ball on the inside that all the pieces slide on top of. This is a very smooth moving puzzle. The gears are in much the same fashion as the Gear Cube. A well made puzzle to solve and a fun puzzle to watch your friends try to solve. Designed by Oskar van Deventer and Uwe Meffert The Gear Shift give a new twist or two to an old puzzle utilising eight rotating gears, which some might think it's a definite step down from its previously release older brother the Gear Cube which had 12 gears they will be sorely mistaken. This puzzle is deceptively difficult as while the simple rotation of the eight meshing gears simply serves as a mesmerizing display indicative of a Haruki-Nakamura-style piece of art this is not what makes the Gear Shift truly reveals itself. The moment one discovers that the core can be pulled apart the difficulty skyrockets, what was once an inevitability now truly becomes a challenge of logic, for while solving a face or even two might appear simple... to the uninitiated the true challenge has only just begun. Gear Shift was designed by Oskar van Deventer, based on an idea by Bram Cohen.
