Bought my first puzzles last week: cast cake and cast mobius, solved mobius in 15 minutes and cake in about 2 hours. So I bought 2 level 5s, cast marble and cast spiral. I just took apart marble (by chance sadly) in 10 minutes and put it back together in ~40. Hoping spiral is more challenging :)

Happy Puzzle Friday! Tonight's puzzle is Barasoain by Rex Rossano Perez, paired with a punyeta cocktail in honor of the Barasoain Church or baras ng suwail in the Philipines. I'm told punyeta can be an expression of anger or surprise. Hopefully I don't have many of those moments on this puzzle!
