It's amazing seeing my puzzle in such a great video! I'm impressed how quickly you solved it just by intuition. Think of the puzzle as a three-dimensional maze. The three brass rods each move you on one of the three axes. The solution is the maze's map. Rod 1 (the one with one black ring) moves you left and right on the map. Rod 2 (two rings) moves you up and down. Rod 3 moves between whole squares. You started off in the top left corner of the top square, and it unlocks at the bottom right corner of the bottom square. Green spaces on the map are on the shortest path from beginning to end. Yellow spaces are on dead end paths. So, following the map, your first moves would be: Move 1, location (1,1,1): Turn rod 2 right Move 2, location (1,2,1): Turn rod 1 right Move 3, location (2,2,1): Turn rod 3 right Move 4, location (2,2,2): Turn rod 2 right

[@SirCharles.]

@@gamingelementalist6725 he said "your first moves would be.. [these 4]", so I think that's just how you would get started and how you can figure out the rest of the solution sheet. There has to be more than just 4 moves, even avoiding the traps lol. But anyway, hats off to the creator, great machining skills and fine craftsmanship! I love any mechanisms that use bearings, like how they can be rolled/rotated freely yet also be used for locking. Can I ask what sort of machinery you used to create this puzzle?

[@seankoellewoodTV]

It still helps from our perspective

[@ishanpm_]

Ok, I think I figured out how this puzzle works. Based on the solution diagram at the end, it is essentially a 3D maze, where each dial controls one coordinate. What's unusual, though, is how that maze is constructed. The name of the puzzle, Mutex, refers to something which can only be used in one place at a time. In this case, that refers to the tubes with bearings. There are too many ball bearings to fit between the dials, so they must rest in the pits around each dial. In other words, at least one side of each bearing must have a pit; they can't both be bumps. That's why the marbles sometimes stay still - the mutex is in use. There are 6 mutexes in total, two between each pair of dials. Each dial can have one of 7 possible states. The solution diagram lists all the legal combinations for the dials. Working backwards from there, we can determine the mutual exclusions. None of the following combinations are allowed: X = 2,3,4,5 and Y = 1,5 ; X = 3,4,7 and Y = 2,3,4,6 ; X = 1,4,6 and Z = 2,5,6 ; X = 1,2 and Z = 3,6,7 ; Y = 3,7 and Z = 1,4 ; Y = 2,4,5,6 and Z = 3,6,7 Based on how Chris moves the dials at the beginning of the video X, Y, and Z are the dials marked with 1, 2, and 3 rings. Each dial begins in state 1, and the puzzle opens when they are all at state 7. By twisting the dials so that none of the forbidden combinations are encountered, the puzzle is solved.

[@renzopolcaro8828]

Except for this comment

[@windzero00w0]

So here's my interpretation of the solution: The solution has 7 boxes, each is a 7x7 grid, making it a 7x7x7 cube. There are 3 knobs on the puzzle, each with 7 marks. Each knob essentially controls 1 direction 7x7x7 cube space, ie knob 1 moves left/right, knob 2 moves up/down, knob 3 moves between layers. You could then follow how the numbers increase and move corresponding knobs in that direction. I think yellow numbers are alternative paths? And reverse the numbers to reset probably. It's brilliantly designed puzzle, must've taken a lot of thought to design a mechanism like that.

[@kingskeep9472]

I honestly have no idea what you mean but good job👍

[@Sak-zo1ui]

It is just a bunch of notches and depths to pass you to the next level. Each nob has a "combination" but the pressure of the top bearings will push onto two other posts unless the channels give the bearings just enough of play to rotate the knobs.

The second disc of the seal press in the puzzle is for doing the backside of a wax seal when sealing something like two ends of a cord inside a seal, where the seal can hang freely.

[@christopherkregeloh4349]

The puzzle has thin black rings around the knobs that are markers for "numbering". One, two, and three rings.

[@jimhood1202]

Beautiful puzzle. I've watched it being solved and read the makers explanation but I have to confess, like Chris I'm not sure how it works. I'd love to have one in my hands to inspect it. Great concept elegantly executed, congratulations. My fav part of the video was when Chris opened it and completely ignored the "prize", instead marveling at how different the mechanism was to what he had imagined. Again, very well done!

[@dapwnisha8594]
