This classic wine bottle puzzle has baffled the world since 1995 when The Elverson Puzzle Company first introduced the Jacob's Revenge Wine Bottle Puzzle.
The object is to make the wood ball touch the cork. It may look easy, but the stick blocks the ball whenever the bottle is turned upside down. It's an extremely frustrating brain teaser, but the solution
" I bought your bottle puzzle at a Cracker Barrel Old Country Store quite a while ago, and never figured out how to get that litte ball into the neck of the bottle. Please send the solution to the Cracker Barrel Puzzle before I go crazy ! "

" I received this unique gift from my boss for Christmas and the whole office was dumbfounded, including myself. I purposely didn't go to the web site because I would have spilled the beans prematurely. But now that we are on Christmas vacation I found the solution and can spend time teasing friends with the puzzle. Thanks again for such an ingenious mind teaser."
