9-to-5 is a mechanical maze. The spherical part in the center can be rotated, but only in specific directions. The part has a dial. The frame has the number of a clock. One side is AM, i.e. morning. The other side is PM, i.e. afternoon/evening. The dial starts at 9 AM. The goal is to navigate the maze such that the dial ends up at 5 PM. In that state, the dial can be pushed out of the clock. The theme of the puzzle is the working day, starting at 9 AM and finishing at 5 PM. The 9-to-5 theme is also famous from the Dolly Parton song "
Working 9 to 5".
