9 to 5
9-to-5 is a mechanical maze that doesn't come apart. At the AM side, the are eleven numbers including a big '9', but no '5'. At the PM side, there are also eleven numbers, including a big '5', but no '9'. The object is to get the yellow central dial from 9AM to 5PM. Because of the protrusions, the dial can make some rotations, but not others.
