The step I like best is the switch from attracting to repelling magnets.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Oh yes!

[@mitchkatz4918]

definitely it was a unique movement!

[@brucegoatly]

It would have been cool if the three dummy 'feet' had not been glued but were able to be pulled out different distances and also able to spin. That misdirection would make the puzzle even more potentially perplexing!

[@Mr.Puzzle]

This would step up the difficulty a lot!

[@roanen5285]

Just to clarify, the d4 🎲 (the 🎲 with only 4 faces), is read exactly as you assumed. You read the number that appears at the peak. They are most commonly used for tabletop and board games along with d6, d8, d10, d12, and d20(each indicating the number of faces).

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Thanks for clarification! 👍

[@MusicAutomation]

We All Appreciate Alliterations

[@curtishoffmann6956]

Love the sequential discovery puzzles. We should have Mr. Puzzle sequential discovery videos, where you solve one video to get to the next one.

[@beniborukhov9436]

Always a good day on KZbin when I see a new video from Mr. Puzzle. This puzzle looks so much more innocent than it is. I can't even imagine how long it would take me.

[@DomPuzzles]

Great puzzle and the best part was the repelling magnets.

[@arelin3578]

Yes. You read that kind of D4 (4sided dice) by reading the top number.

[@mitchkatz4918]

in the bag with the dice- could have a diagram of the insides for inquisitive solvers. I'd like to know how it was built as it was a hand crafted in wood- maybe?

[@sfeddie1]

Boy, this puzzle is way too fiddly. I don't think I would ever solve it.

[@jessebreitbart]

Thank you Mr.Puzzle!! Great movie, even if just working through the solve

[@Maninawig]

Reading a d4 depends on the placement of the numbers, but the solution to that puzzle is to read rhe number that's right side up.

[@Zoso14892]

Throwback! Got to admit, I was really glad when you switched to a "live" solve, watching your brain work has always been fascinating! Shame about the footage, but cool little puzzle all the same.

[@camelshoe]

as a tabletop game player it is always funny seeing people struggle with D4's. i have 2 types: one where the number on the top is correct and one where the number on the bottom is correct

[@Mr.Puzzle]

On the bottom? 😅

[@MythicFox]

@@Mr.PuzzleYes, in general the correct number on the four-sided die is the one that appears to be upright while you're looking at it. Sometimes, as in the one you found in the puzzle box, that number is positioned closer to the point. Other times, it's positioned just above the base.

[@hyperbaroque]

So are the dice loaded to always land the same way? That would be a cool way to let the owner know which serial they own of a limited run. (D4 & D10 would allow a limited run of 40.)

[@superhunk1989]

This is a cleverly made puzzle.

[@GCCG76]

Satisfying Mr Puzzle takes little effort! Hope the manufacturer will send you a replica but in perspex. Keep on posting!

[@timliebrockpuzzles]

I wish i could see the inside as well. I suspect I know how it functions but would love to see it.

[@jasonthornton748]

Buy two and take a saw to the second? :P

[@Mr.Puzzle]

😁

[@matthuck378]

That's an awesome puzzle.

[@iiREYteoii]

it looks like a big wooden lego piece

[@TheRealSugarShane]

Nice one

[@ezion67]

Bandsaw!

[@mJlReplicanT001]

Okay. Seeing the original video would of been amazing to see . This is a hectic puzzle to find the solution too. Would of been luck for myself if I was trying I think heheh..

[@wbfaulk]

Would _have._ There is essentially no situation where "would of" is correct.

[@nevenlucic6238]

The puzzle is awesome like everyone so far, and it seems to me the you voice is somehow different 😂

[@Mr.Puzzle]

I recorded this video at 5am. Morning voice is different. 😁

[@casperthefriendlycookingapple]

Nice.

[@WhatAboutTheBee]

I can see why you switched to the live solve format. This video is not nearly as captivating as the newer style.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

To be honest I found it somehow relaxing to watch it when it was done. 😅

[@MarcSiqueira]

Very interesting puzzle, also didnt expect the dice as rewards for solving it. But just 2 of those felt kinda cheap to me. Those are dice used on dungeons and dragons rpg games and they are missing many other dice for it to be a complete set, we call them D+ the number of surfaces they have, so the little pyriamid like we call D4, the complete set would go from D4, D6 (the common dice lol), D8, D10, D12 and D20 and you assumed right, we read the number on the peak as the result of the roll, same as every other dice xD.

[@wbfaulk]

More generally, you read the number that is oriented upright. It isn't necessarily on the peak, though that seems to have become the more common placement. There are still dice that show the selected number along the base, though.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

👍

[@Nostravinci]

Is that a Vorst & Bosch pad? Are you a magician @Mr.Puzzle?

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Yes

[@Nostravinci]

@@Mr.Puzzle Nice to know! I am as well. I work for Vanishing Inc Magic, and have studied with Tamariz, Slydini and Tommy Wonder.

[@jmg999]

The idea that it has to be rotated in a certain way seems like a bad design. How would someone guess something like that? And, why would they try that in the first place? It seems that they could've done more in a traditional solving sense than to resort to something completely esoteric in nature.

[@jinbutsufumei]

Even Mr Puzzle couldn't solve the Sneaky Stolen Data card mystery 😫 Thanks for showing us this tricky wooden box anyway, but I'm wondering how long it took to solve on your first attempt 🧐

[@Mr.Puzzle]

27 minutes 🙂

[@jinbutsufumei]

@@Mr.Puzzle Thank you! Impressive as always 😊

[@siriosstar4789]

" i can't see how it's made" a few simple woodworking tools wil solve that dilemma . 😂

[@mitchkatz4918]

thedice was a let down- unless it will become more meaningful on their second puzzle, otherwise what was its purpose?

[@V2760]

4 & 6 is your number, not 4 & 5

[@bigsarge2085]

👍

[@Benderrr111]

I am too stupid for this :(
