Read more at twistypuzzles.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=39190 Nobbz is a multi-challenge gearing puzzle, inspired by Joe Becker's Gearloose puzzle from the year 2000. Each challenge places some of the gears onto the 3x3 grid in a random orientation. The object of the puzzle is to rotate the gears such that the arrows all point in the same direction. The gears have missing teeth, which allows you to skip teeth at some places. The challenge is to find out where to skip teeth, and in which direction. There are two versions of the Nobbz puzzle. The first version uses the same pointy gears as Screw Gears ( youtube.com/watch?v=pD7pk4LLfp8 ). This is the harder version, as the gap also blocks gear rotation, which limits the skipping of teeth. Nobbz Too uses gears closer to those from Joe Becker. Here, the puzzle difficulty increases much slower with the number of gears in a challenge.
