TAKE APART DODECAHEDRON PUZZLE

1.         To start off grab two pieces that are connected from point to point by the elastic cord with thumb and finger, then grab the rest of the puzzle with the other hand and pull apart gently when you have enough room twist the two halves 180 degrees anti-clockwise and put the parts back together

2.         Place the puzzle on the table and let go the puzzle should now fall apart all joined together by one ring of elastic cord with six diamond shaped pieces

3.         The object of the puzzle is now to reassemble the dodecahedron so you can once again place it on the table so it won’t come apart

 PUT BACK TOGETHER DODECAHEDRON PUZZLE

1.         Grab two pieces (we will call these pieces A & D ) so that  the triangle faces of the pieces are together and so the corners near your fingers have elastic going from one corner to the other on the outside edge of the A & D pieces

2.         Now while you hold these pieces you should see a shape of a fish

3.         Hold the A & D pieces and the B & E pieces and twist them 180 degrees so that piece A sits next to piece E And piece D sit next to piece B

4.         You should now be able to sit your puzzle on the table and still have the fish shape

5.         Now holding pieces A,D,E and B put piece F on top and piece C on the bottom to do this you slide the piece of elastic cord that piece F to piece C though the gap of pieces B & E

Your puzzle should now be back to where it started
