Twirl

Description

Twirl is a puzzle based on the geometry of Swapping Helices.  There are five helical pieces: A-E. When playing, one can move the pieces around: ABCDE -> BCDEA. The object is to separate all pieces. End stops prevent this. However, one can remove pieces A+B+C from D+E, and then separate the set. Assembling can be more difficult if one does not look at the letters, because the puzzle assembles only when the pieces are in the correct ABCDE order.
