mtairymd Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 This puzzle is also know as rocket in a cup. The "rocket" is placed in the cup. You must remove it without dumping it out or using tools (paper clips, tape, etc.). The problem is that there is no place to grab the rocket. How do you get it out? Figured it out yet? Don't google it! The pictures shown above are from a wood version. Below are drawings in case someone would like to make their own. I didn't have the tools to make mine so I 3D printed one. 3D Print vs. Wood Figure it out yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon_t Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 Nope but I would say to blow on it from the top 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodenskye Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 Spend 20 minutes getting frustrated and then throw against a wall. Problem solved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 The first thing that comes to mind involves chrome and a bumper but probably not the solution here? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtairymd Posted December 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 Ok, Art and Brendon got it! The quick answer is to blow on it. An air compressor was used for the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
