GadgetMadness: We find the coolest gadgets first

Wait, what's so hard about it?
it's a combination lock canister, with 3
rings and possibly 8 variables.
same as a 3 digit padlock with the
numbers 1-8 to choose from. Millions of combinations? NOT.
Unless (not seen in any litterature),
you have to crack it in stages...one combination opens one level, another opens the second, a third and you're in..
It does look cool, and will keep a person busy for hours..

doug-i'm feelin what jb says. me and 5 other people sat around trying to figure this thing out for hours-even though we've cracked the ten hints-it's not easy. you have to decipher the order the hieroglyphics go into to open it-and you have to turn it in different directions to unlock certain parts at certain points-it's not as easy as you may think.

I have opened the ISIS sphere and received my key, now what can I do I do not undestand why people say you must decypher the rings I didn't Just perciveredend tried all combinations forientating sphere whilst trying to separate two halves and eventually opened it. You know when you have the correct orientation to open it, somehow it feels different in your hands cannot explain you must find it out yourself. Followed instructions from my youngest son who could nnot do it so I tried successfully . Good luck.

the puzzle is a joke. five minutes after i finished the code I had it open. the rubics cube is so much better and it doesnt cost 200 dollars, but i've got a nice puzzle now@

Ha! The rings does nothing to solve this puzzle! Whack it good against something hard, rotate it & press the button. If the button goes 1/2 way down you are good. Turn it upside down, let go of the button. Wag it ariund and prdess the button again. If it goes tha whole way in yuo are good, turn the ball around, let go of the button and unscrew the damn thing!

I've solved the puzzle. The rings have nothing to do with opening the puzzle. It's all just a distraction. The real solution lies in the cryptic clues, and also an 11th clue.
