The Mysterious X Puzzle is an entertaining challenge for anyone looking to test their problem-solving skills. Here are the steps to complete the puzzle: Remove the square from the X, and then put it back on. The STL files feature the X cross pieces and the square as separate designs for easier printing. When you print the cross pieces, the rods will need to be carefully freed and cleaned up so they can slide smoothly in and out of their slots. This is crucial in making this puzzle challenging. To assemble the puzzle, push all the rods into their respective slots and then insert both rods into the square. Next, shape the cross pieces into an X and lock them securely together. To find the solution without cheating, don't read on. If you're eager to know the answer, keep reading. The key to removing the X from the square is to spin it on a flat surface or parallel to the ground. This action causes the rods to slide into the channels due to the spinning motion. Once this happens, the cross pieces should be able to unlock from each other.
