Examine the diagram:
1st row: 5 elements
2nd row: 5 elements
3rd row: 10 elements
4th row: 5 elements
5th row: 5 elements
1st row is assembled into a rosette.
The 5 elements of the 2nd row are attached one by one in a ring around the 1st row's rosette.
Turn the puzzle upside-down in the shape of a bowl.
3rd row is a ring of 10 pieces attached to the brim of the concave "bowl", joined one to another.
5th row closes the opening
4th row narrows the sphere and...
When the sphere is finished, check that all links are stable, and that all straight edges are masked by curve ones.
If the sphere is too rigid to assemble, start from the beginning.
Try to mark the middle of the rosette with some sort of string. Remember always to place the front of the elements facing outward. Check after each row.
(The elements may be labeled with stickers that can be removed after assembly. The 5 elements of the 1st row are labeled "1", those of the 2nd row are labeled "2", the 10 of the 3rd row are labeled "3", and so on.)
