First you get it into the original shape that it comes in, and turn 180 degrees. Then you twist it about 22 degrees and pry out one of the dart (edge) pieces. This can best be seen in a diagram, and I have a rough sketch at this address: http://members.home.net/chrisandkori/sq-disassem.jpg Once one piece is out, they all come out easily, similar to Rubik's Cube. Putting it back together is similar-- do the same thing in reverse. The mechanism is really neat! Chris Pelley ck1@home.com
