Description
To solve Snake Ball, the two donuts have to be pushed into each other. A spherical pin at one donut moves inside the grooves of the other and vice verse. All grooves are cut in a helical pattern around the donuts, so the two donuts always rotate simultaneously, which is very confusing. At some point, the puzzle feels almost solved, but the donuts cannot come apart. There, you have to make the parity-changing move and then you have to solve a second maze. Both mazes are completely different, and contain enough loops and counter-intuitive moves to confuse.
This is arguably the best puzzle in the Oskar Exotics collection, made by George Miller.
