@The NYC Toy fair 2008 I saw this ironic puzzle game, it's meant to give kids/adults a puzzle challenge (roll ball unlocks the box) before they can open a DVD, CD, book, money - getting packaging open is usually a challenge already - but I thought it was funny how modern media companies like to lock out their customers on just about everything or make it a "puzzle" for hackers to "fix" some decision - this is a physical version of the cat and mouse game that I think is playing out... If you're clever enough you too can get past the DRM :) -- maybe Magnif should play on that theme for fun.

My aunt gave me the damnable cube for Christmas last year just to taunt me, it had forty-dollars in it and nigh drove me to the brink of insanity until I got my hands on a dry-erase marker.

In the spirit of open source, drawing a line in washable marker from the lock to the ball's current location works fine.

Then use a magnet to guide the ball to the lock.
