Do any of you know how to work the Pufferfish Puzzlebox (manufactured by [PuzzleGeniusInc.com](http://PuzzleGeniusInc.com))? It’s a puzzle thing where you have to remove a string with wooden balls at each end from a wooden disk where the string passes through two holes several times. The instructions on the box say to look at [PuzzleGeniusInc.com](http://PuzzleGeniusInc.com). There’s supposedly a solution there. Unfortunately, there isn’t one there or anywhere else that I’ve looked. I have this puzzle and can’t figure out how to work it. Do any of you know?

Did you mean [Project Genius](https://www.projectgeniusinc.com/)? Your link is dead.

ETA: I think this is the puzzle you’re talking about, which doesn’t seem to be available at Project Genius anymore (they have no site search function that I can find).

I could probably manage it if I had one in front of me-- It looks similar to things like the ox-yoke puzzle. But it’s tough to say from pictures.
