Hi,

Even as a kid I found taking stuff apart to be remarkably easy.
Putting it back together is an entirely different ballgame that
needs a far higher level of skill and imagination, and being
able to recognise the impossible, you don't have the jigs.

I looked at a broken kids plastic typwriter once, got the
shells apart and it did almost literally explode into a
pile of parts I couldn't hope to put back together.

rgds, sreten.
