How to recognise Grecian Bottle

Manufacturer: Project Genius / True Genius. Mechanism: gravity, friction and spatial-reasoning disassembly / refilling puzzle. Objective: Remove all of the internal items from the glass bottle, then return everything to its original arrangement inside.

The manufacturer rates this model 5/5.

Try a hint before opening the full solution

These are original Crafty Puzzles strategy hints based on the documented objective and mechanism; they do not reproduce the manufacturer’s step-by-step solution.

Hint 1

Treat the bottle opening as a fixed constraint: first work out which internal component can change orientation enough to pass through it.

Hint 2

Use gravity deliberately by changing the bottle angle slowly; uncontrolled shaking makes it harder to understand which movement helped.

Hint 3

For the refill challenge, reverse the logic of removal but do not assume the exact motion sequence simply runs backwards—internal orientation matters.
