Simplessity » Aesthetics doesn't always equal simplicity

Who would have thought that there are so many different designs for the nut cracker. I found this simple nut cracker from modlivin on design*sponge.

It solves the nut cracking problem, it looks cool, it's not hard to figure out how it works by looking at it - but it's probably harder to use than the kind where you squeeze. Twisting is typically harder to do than squeezing.
