first time encountering this type of puzzle. It's scratches multiples itches of me! A must try! thanks!

I consider myself having a love for puzzles, but while these disentanglement puzzles are cool as hell, I have no idea how to approach them, even watching the solution feel like magic to me

I got this years ago when I travelled in Thailand. Seems so simple at first. The vendor told me if I can get the solution in 10 minutes I could have it for free, but if not, I had to buy it. I had that damn puzzle with me the whole trip. Every photograph of me my head was burried in that damn puzzle trying to figure it out. I eventually got it about two years later. I was so excited, I never wanted to undo do the solution because it had taken me so long to finally solve it. Then I knocked it off the table and the solution was gone for ever... great memories. Thanks for sharing... where does one find this puzzle these days?

I did not find this helpful. You are still doing an algorithmic method. Some are extremely lengthy.

Your cube is terrible.

You saved my life bro 😊 you know i cant sleep if i didn’t solve my cubes

I found this at MARCS in Cleveland Ohio...I like the puzzle I got

The lotus because; the overcoming of adversity to challenges.

your game is fire btw love it

You have a way to dark screen you could barely see and you talk to much

So what did you solve? Just bs

I know he won't but if he came back as a tongue in cheek intro he should say "Ok I just manged to get the next side done, So the rest should go pretty quickly now"

This video, combined with Jeff Varasano’s explanation of the cube (which details exactly the same methodology) helps me understand the cube a little bit better! And the signoff is such a no-brainer, that I’m grateful for you to make, as I need to take those notes because I keep forgetting the moves I did. (Bit of a weird sentence construction, but I mean it as a little jest, because I totally did not think of it myself to take notes of the moves I make).

😢

i still cant understand 😢

🤦‍♂️Not a hole it’s a gap or opening

OMG. I’ve been working on this on and off for ages. Took me a week to even find the name so I could find this vid. No wonder I couldn’t do it, the hand strength required to solve mine involved a pair of pliers to grab the side. 0/10 do not recommend. I prefer puzzles with brain and logic requirement, not force.

Just solve the puzzle. No need to get full theoretical about it. You just made it way more confusing than it should've...

I’m watching this 6 years after you’ve posted it, I hope you have a better eraser now

We miss you, bro!

Is this what a commutator is?

I like the video but I don't know how you got your moves to begin with :(

loved your puzzle content for so many years, came back today for the nostalgia❤

no way real

Thank you. You just saved a puzzle from becoming firewood.

The links to the mathematical papers no longer work. I have found a link to the Melvin paper, which is: pmelvin.blogs.brynmawr.edu/files/2021/09/2006Melvin-1.pdf

R'E'RRE'E'R' could also be RER'R'EER, right? Would be more convenient.

What an enigma - just got enthralled seeing Real Civil Engineer play 20 small mazes. Which led me down rabbit hole here. A puzzle maker, with a successful puzzle based youtube channel leaves it behind for 6 years (apparently to care for his daughter?). Makes two amazing puzzle video games for free. What kind of man is this?

thanks boddie, it will be a helpful on the exam :))

This was very good! I was wondering how difficult this was and afraid to buy it, but I may purchase it now! 😊

Satisfying.

I came to this channel because I was informed that using acetone and tweezers to orient the adhesive color-coded labels was not, in fact, the goal. Thank you!

Why go radio silent ? Especially with your new game out, why not use your channel for promotion of your new game ? I'm sure it took a lot of effort to make !

Still one of my favorite videos.

Yo wait did you make 20 small mazes too???

To anyone like me who used to watch Fleb and is still itching for more content, he just published a game! It’s called 20 small mazes and it’s free on steam. Good to know he’s still kicking and is out there making his own cool puzzles.

Did your puzzle book get printed? I'd love to buy it!

Never knew this kind of puzzle! I love it I also love Dungeons & Diagrams in Last Call BBS.

Fleb come back😢!!!!

im sorry to hate on this but could you please JUST tell us how to solve not with all the talking in between

That is a logical approach to solve this kind of puzzles. Quite interesting.

Damn! Its impressive to understand why each algos work

Watching this in 2024 and came to the comment section because of your "in case you are blue-pink colorblind" comment. That was so sweet and thoughtful :) Your video was very helpful and well done!

In playing disentanglement puzzles (logic wire puzzles) you must always remember abstract key concepts for solving like "Mobility", Trial and Error, Symmetry, Mirroring and Stress and Pressure (Emphasis, Tempo), Thinking Outside the Box, Logic etc. applying to your medium avoiding dislocations damaging your toy. I'm a hustler on playing these games and have a collections with this kind of puzzles

Painful

we miss you FLEB :(

This video made me love puzzles

I think about Fleb more than I think about the Roman empire
