Columbus Egg Review

This is a review of the twisty puzzle called Columbus Egg. This is a rare puzzle.

The goal of the puzzle is to make it stand up on its thick end on its own. To play, you twist the large end of the egg clockwise to make segments appear and disappear in the side window. When all five of the segments show red, a weight gets released from inside the puzzle, and the egg is able to balance on its own.

This puzzle can be found on occasion on eBay.

This puzzle is described further here:
