It's easy: Just do what Alexander did.

[@nigelmuilekom4909]

Am I the only one who watches these videos without even owning a single puzzle?

[@raghavaloria8611]

No Buddy I am her with you

[@ypey1]

No man, its like watching sports to me

[@EmpressLilith222]

I was like that too, until I saw some at a local store and bought a few and now all of my guests try them out because I leave them on the coffee table :)

[@oldhippy1017]

I don't own a single puzzle. I love watching this guy.

[@giovanniyorke7455]

I know, lol. I just find his videos very interesting

[@michaellwalker8748]

"When we noticed that we were already done." I hadn't noticed anything at all.

[@Dargonhuman]

Right? I'm like, "We? We didn't do anything, my brain is still stuck figuring out how you did that thing three moves ago."

[@EricPetersen2922]

Mr.Puzzle has reference puzzles with known solutions for future puzzles that are similar in nature. That’s a great approach. Nice video.

[@Dargonhuman]

Only someone who goes by the username Mr.Puzzle would have a store of puzzles for use in solving other puzzles. And that's why we love him.

[@72293]

It looks like my ear buds after I pull them from my pocket

[@mohansinghsingh9345]

BakAr ha ,,,

[@goldfndr]

It's art. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJevpmp9h7KFbckm54s

[@zihindar]

This should be one of the hardest string puzzles 😵

[@BimmerBabe]

this is the best channel i never knew i needed. Thank you for sharing your hobby with us. my fav part is when you examine and analyze the puzzle

[@ariejy]

Nice! I would be very interested in watching a video where you list like 5 most difficult puzzles in your opinion since you have such a vast array of experience with puzzles to draw from! Thanks for the content!

[@superhunk1989]

The puzzle without the rope looks like my mixer whisk.

[@bradleyshane162]

If i develop a brain tumor, it will be because this video broke my brain.

[@TheChannelofaDisappointedMan]

Of all your puzzle skills, for me your tackling of these rope puzzles is the most impressive.

[@taragwendolyn]

This one brings back memories... when I was growing up, my parents had an almost identical puzzle - a little smaller, and steel balls instead of wooden on the end, with a blue string, but I figured that one out when I was less than 10, and still hang on to it. One of my favourites. :)

[@smkirk29]

I'm not that familiar with disentanglement puzzles but I thought you did a good job at explaining what you were doing. Labeling the loops as 1, 2 and 3 really helped and so did watching you put it back together.

[@thekingdomoffenn]

I would love to see where/how you store all these puzzles!!

[@mrbrianparker]

Impressed by your analysis and intuition. I would have been there for days.

[@simonci5177]

Very nice puzzle and video. Put watch on table to see passing time. Thank you

[@helenscott8202]

Really enjoy live solving. It can be confusing, but not as bad as when you go right to the solution. Thanks!

[@annmaria608]

Verbal explanation and video are excellent. Thank you.

[@tygrahof9268]

My father gave me this puzzle when I was a small child. One of my favorites. We always called it the "over and under" as that is how you solve it.

[@HonestSpiritual]

For some reason I understood what to do when you put it back of how to take it off. I like how you solve puzzles. It is methodical and makes sense to me.

[@Ryanhelpmeunderstand]

My brain hurts

[@fizixx]

Glad you're back Mr. Puzzle.

[@Thorben0102]

Vorhin mit meiner Freundin Schluss gemacht. Deine Videos beruhigen so sehr ❤

[@vincentsruggeri3698]

This puzzle looks like my earbuds after I put them in my pocket.

[@Feeris]

I would love to see you try the Zauberseil puzzle by Constantin. It has honestly been breaking my brain trying to solve it

[@Dargonhuman]

Bruh, you have so much more patience than I do for these kinds of puzzles. I could maybe figure them out if I didn't get flustered and throw it across the room haha!

[@stephenmiller9009]

I think if I had the puzzle I would be able to follow your steps , whoever makes these are very smart

[@olivefontaine2562]

Nice video! It is pretty difficult to spectate on this puzzle type but I still enjoyed watching you take it apart. I didn't think this was live at first because of how you mentioned the other puzzle helping you understand it before you really started. Had you solved this already before recording?

[@Mr.Puzzle]

I recorded the intro after the live solve.

[@RubiKPuzzles]

Nice puzzle, and nice video!! You have a new sub!

[@sambrewer2306]

I know u are a solver but u must have some totally unique ideas for a puzzle box or puzzle. I bet u could make a very unique sweet puzzle (I wish there was someone with a nice 3d printed that had a passion for making puzzles. The possibilities are endless)

[@albertenchia6361]

Very Cool, hi Mr. Puzzle it is I the SkyWalker writing to comment about this video if I may, it was awesome: in my opinion I could understand what you were doing, disentanglement puzzles are very detailed, one wrong swoop of the loop and the puzzler run into a wall; because the puzzles you share here on your channel require so much concentration I do wonder why people suggest you "solve the puzzle live", you go out of your way to help puzzlers understand the physics of puzzles so I question why people want to see you mess-up...how fast you solve a puzzle proves nothing because you are a veteran at puzzling, watching you make errors is the only reason people want to see you solve puzzles live in my opinion, those people forget how you do a great job in explaining the walls you run into, you say plainly "do not do "this" "that" way or it will not work", I appreciate that; if I may, you surely opened my eyes to a whole new way of analyzing, I seen you crack puzzles that at my first glance I was like "there is no way that can be solved", you truly have this puzzling thing mastered and I for one appreciate it.

[@sambrewer2306]

I have taken the puzzle solving methods way further than just solving puzzles. Great overall problem solving.

[@tyfunk8614]

This was one of the first puzzles I ever got!!! I think I got it about 5 or 6 years ago. I was never able to solve it but now I want to give it another shot haha

[@xXNiteRainXx]

Ich find diese Puzzle und deine Videos dazu fantastisch.

[@tyran370]

This kind of puzzle is usually solved with moves that keep everything symmetrical. If you stuck to such moves and don't reverse the move you just did you'll find the solution.

[@ericklowder6451]

The look of the puzzle is more interesting than the solution

[@micregil]

I like puzzles, I'm pretty good at the ones I find on different video games, some of them are pretty hard but on the games you can push the skip button if it's too hard or taking too long.

[@mademoisellekaya1438]

When you explain it please consider turning the puzzle 45° towards the camera above you. Because you can see it firstly 3D, we don't, so you can see the side angle at the same time as you can inside and up or under, we can't. If you know what I mean 😉 but this is a fun one!

[@Josiah1221]

You did a good job of explaining it. I was able to follow and I agree it is similar to the other one as far as going in and out of the loops. Great video, I really enjoy the live solves :)

[@xaviarthunders4894]

Best puzzle-solve yet! Cheers

[@Emma-op2kh]

WHY IS THERE SO MANY ADS

[@damianlopez7630]

I could Solve It!!! Except it would take me 100 Years to do So!!! 😂☺Thank You for sharing.

[@fastboibak]

I love your videos man!

[@Squavez.]

I can't keep up with the disentanglement puzzles but thank you for another great video.

[@bobbyellis5006]

I had subscribed to your channel but stop getting alerts for it. You're not my go to channel and more of something I just watch to relax from time to time so I was afraid you had stopped making videos, I'm really glad that you didn't though I don't keep up too closely with your uploads. Just something about how patient you are, how you treat your audience by always doing the official solves and the fact that no matter how frustrated you might get, you don't want and rave, I'm just glad to know you're still doing your thing on KZbin.

[@vsm1456]

great video, I like the puzzle and the music

[@a.m.kabdullahalkhzalah3896]

No it's easy to understand coz we are solving with you... pc. I did find the answer before you in 3 times and that what i love about it win you do a normal solving it's a pit boring And that's a nice approach

[@stevesebzda570]

Mr Puzzle, about understanding it you had asked.. I had to pause afterwords when you were putting it back on just to see if that outer ring was attached to that pole. You had said "they are all attached" so I did not know this during your solve. I can imagine now though.. It's very complex looking.. you're right. Great solve.. I wonder though, would it be possible with that outer ring attached also ? That could be another one lol. Joke.. You may have to get melting. Lol 😂

[@bleckybob]

I guess you could say you’ve found..... a loop hole....

[@POLARTTYRTM]

What is the name of the other puzzle you show in the video? Did you solve it on this channel? It seems pretty interesting.

[@ianandcindyvlogs9306]

My brain broke into pieces lol 😁😁😁

[@petersen4043]

Nice job!

[@123DudeDragon]

How are the solutions for the 3D wooden board puzzles from mathematical equations coming?

[@lookstothetroon]

This is Valve's puzzle design.

[@terryatkinson2264]

Prefer the Alexander the Great solution - better for my mental health

[@AJCsr]

This looks exactly like my infamous earbuds puzzle ! 🤣

[@SeafoodKilla1]

I think the basic idea of a lot of disentaglement puzzles is to go in a given set of steps....repetition of same type of movements....

[@waberoid]

Knowing the solution cannot be reversed, but it can be forgotten XD I easily forget things :(

[@chiragojha7311]

I left at spoiler break .. thinking sometime in life I will get to solve this. :)

[@chiragojha7311]

But I liked your video...

[@dreadbull5039]

I found the background music kind of distracting. It took away from the usual soothing feel of your videos. Maybe it was just too loud?

[@potato23116]

Come onnnn be like Alexander the great just take a sword and cut it in half

[@sebastianw.6637]

Another puzzle, nice

[@D3X1K_AXYZ]

I was able to follow the knot, but I think a side view would be better for those who can't. I could not follow the related puzzle.

[@GolemCrafterRs12]

Bist du Zufällig Deutscher Wie komm ich auf das man merkt es an deinem Englischen Dialekt (OK in deiner Beschreibung steht es)

[@zackeryfisher8440]

These puzzles hurt my brain they just don't make sense lol

[@TheRealJabbergeist]

Man, my brain just doesn't jazz with disentanglement puzzles. I always have a way tougher time visualizing the solution than with burr puzzles.

[@nanakoblamna9632]

Professor Layton in real life

[@alexandervii98]

Broken degrees for your invitation

[@somethingsomethingname25]

Alexander would just wage war and invade the puzzle tbh... :/

[@sabineb.5616]

Calling a puzzle "Gordian Knot" may not be a good omen for the longevity of the device☺

[@VeganChiefWarrior]

great video :)

[@bradleyshane162]

I need another puzzle solve I'm suffering withdraw need more

[@johnbrock1602]

Very good

[@HyroDeFlure]

this is insane

[@EleanorPeterson]

PowahSlap: Cut it with scissors? NO! It's a puzzle. The solution is NOT important; REACHING the solution is what's important. The problem with instant teleportation machines is that arriving instantly at your destination means you've got no time to admire the scenery. To ENJOY THE JOURNEY. Mr Puzzle likes to travel. So do I. So do well over half-a-million other Subscribers.

[@DeeKay84]

rebricks cubes came out when I left school in the early 80's, I didn't understand them, and I don't understand any of the puzzles you do. good luck to you, but its my idea of hell.

[@ypey1]

These puzzles are best enjoyed with a german accent...

[@anandtari9587]

Tangled earphones... 👌

[@x2.MOST1TED.3x]

wie immer schönes Video

[@akad_02]

8:20 😅

[@MiffetBlue]

Holy crap!

[@leyilin8777]

I don't have that also

[@NawchoDaddy]

What watch are you using?

[@icenesiswayons9962]

I really like watching you solve puzzles but that one I'm sorry to say is not a real type gordians knot! I had to do a college thesis on that mythological knot and it was all hemp interwoven in an impossible fashion.

[@Mitchcraft.]

why does a thumbnail for some weird puppet channel come up on the end of the video?

[@tusharbhavsar7127]

It's like my earphone in my pocket

[@PfeffergrubenNick]

From wich country are you?

[@just-a-silly-goofy-guy]

Who else remembers the phineas and ferb episode?

[@woody.9703]

What happens in that?

[@pepperonipizza8200]

Didn't Beuford also solve a jellybean jar by eating all the jellybeans and guessing zero?

[@lewizark680]

Yall niggas gay

[@KirkHermary]

Interesting 🤔

[@sabineb.5616]

Take a hint from the name of this puzzle: you will just need a sharp metal cutter, and you can solve it in less than a minute....☺

[@sambrewer2306]

Are u chris Ramsey? Same table. 😂😂😂😂jk

[@chickensemble]

Yes, he washes his tattoos off when he does his Mr Puzzle videos.

[@cwm5051]

Anybody else think they were earbuds at first?

[@PatienceDike-tp6kb]

you said what

[@jllumpas6192]

Your hands are cute and neat 😂😍

[@Andrei.G.T]

these are harder than normal fixed block puzzles do more.....

[@TheUnnamedGent]

Gordian knot? Obviously the answer is to cut the cord.

[@dieterfelden8689]

Meine Kurze sagt, dass ist wie stricken. Eins Links, eins Rechts. 😯🙈

[@nooneknows6274]

You ve got a like from a Greek ;)

[@ginahaley3866]

Somebody please tell me why there has to be weird repetitive "music" sounds in the background of you speaking? Its like that in so many videos. Often times it's louder than you speaking.

[@Ottomagne]

If you're actually wanting to know, it's because it helps mask the low end buzzing of increased gain on microphone devices.

[@Ottomagne]

It helps makes the audio cleaner and seem more high quality.

[@Baki_B]

Whats my name where im I ????

[@humanity1581]

Did you solve the puzzle or not? That's my puzzle!!!
