Can anyone tell me how often can the chest be opened at the end of jumping puzzles?

I thought it was a one time thing but I could be wrong. Can someone verify this.

Information from a previous forum post, I don't remember who posted it so i can't credit it, about a puzzle in LA.

Weyandt's Revenge
Location of entrance
Weyandt's Revenge is a jumping puzzle in Sharkmaw Caverns located in southeast Lion's Arch. It can be accessed through the waterfall slide in Sharkmaw Caverns, next to the Vista. There are no foes to be found while doing this puzzle. There is a weapon vendor in a nook at the end of the pirate cave jumping puzzle in Lion's Arch. Selling pirates weapons for karma (9800 karma for a weapon)

Thank for that link!   This route is a better one than the other video I found (going across the arches near the end).

I have to say this was by far the least enjoyable jumping puzzle I've found in the game so far.   Too long, too tedious and poorly designed.  

I usually try to figure the puzzles out myself but it became very clear early on this one wasn't meant to be fun, it was meant to be frustrating.    The mob respawn rate makes that clear enough.  And the ghosts can't be knocked off the wall?   Giving mobs an advantage is part of gaming but that's a step too far.   Characters can certain fall off the wall using abilities like leaping but the ghosts don't get knocked off by knock back abilities?  You should see ghosts raining off the wall, that at least would be entertaining which more than anyone can say for this puzzle.  

Of course, they have to have yet another vet mob at the end.   Because you want yet another piece of tedium if all the fun for the evening hasn't already been sucked out by this thing.  And the last mob drops a Black Lion Chest.  Whoopee.   I'm not buying a key for it after this experience, you can bet on that.  Overall the least enjoyable jumping puzzle I've seen.  Thumbs down.  

Just to prove I'm not a jumping puzzle hater, I enjoyed the puzzle to find Anya's secret strawberry patch, *that's* an example a good puzzle.   Very clever, well designed, and frankly I thought the reward was far better than any Black Lion chest.   And Anya's charm factor alone made it worth doing.  Oh yeah, and NO bloody, annoying mobs.
