The IMPOSSIBLE Hazmat Jigsaw Puzzle!! (0.0003% chance of solving)

MY SHOP: www.1st.shop/
Carl Hoff's Design: www.lulu.com/s...
Some of Carl's work: www.shapeways....
Today I'm going to attempt to solve the Hardest 9 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle on the planet. This is a creation by Carl Hoff. Goal: Pack the nine assemblies, each consisting of six hazmat drums, onto the barge, an 11 by 11 array, such that no two assemblies touch, not even at a corner. (Any contact could lead to cross contamination, resulting in unwanted chemical or nuclear reactions.)

[@johanneshockerup3017]

Title: 0.0003% chance of solving. Me: **Excalibur-flasbacks**

[@Carl_Hoff]

That 0.0003% figure I believe is coming from Table 2 in this paper: www.gathering4gardner.org/g4g13gift/puzzles/HoffCarl-GiftExchange-FromUntouchable11toHazmatCargo-G4G13.pdf It simply means of the 21 choose 9 or 293,930 9-piece puzzles that I checked on this 11x11 board, only 1 had a single solution. The other 293,929 had multiple solutions.

[@PastelOddity]

Oh hey, this was made by my father-in-law 😂 Watching him make it was SUPER cool, and he’s really talented. My husband loves to test his stuff and he’s got a KZbin channel where he posts new projects!

[@Diegopie007]

holy shit really???

[@Shaun-wp5yo]

I feel like the hint confused me more than the puzzle did😂

[@mohamadrezafarhadi1407]

Accuracy 10000

[@rolfbuchner3991]

Imagine that the pieces are "walls" and the gaps between the pieces are a "path through a maze". The original solver asked if that path would always be of equal width. That is to say, if you were walking along the hallways of the maze, would the walls on either side of you always be the same distance away. The answer is no. In exactly three cases the hallways that you are walking through will open into a 2x2 room. This 2x2 room corresponds to four circles in a square shape in the puzzle. So, translating this back to the puzzle, the hint says that there will be three places where no piece touches the middle of a small 2x2 square cluster of circles. And furthermore none of those 2x2 clusters are adjacent. This hint can be used to verify placement, especially as more pieces are placed.

[@Tacticalups]

We need a second video for this ASAP. This was such a dope intro I have to see you solve this especially since you have received a clue

[@jeremymccommons7741]

One thing to note about puzzles like these, each piece has 8 states. Front up, front down, front left, front right, back up, back down, back left, back right. Only two of the nine pieces to this puzzle are symmetrical, meaning that the front and back are the same. Always save these for last, since there is less randomness in those pieces. The goal of this puzzle is to eliminate randomness in the pieces, finding a neat start does this. Find three or four pieces that fit together nicely along one of the walls, and work from there. I hope these tips can help anyone trying to solve a puzzle like this, or solve this very puzzle. Good luck!

Wow. 👏

Hey Chris, I just solved this puzzle tonight! I watched this video about a month. I liked the puzzle so much that I made my own copy using PowerPoint. Then after 3 weeks playing at my computer, moving around and flipping the pieces, and over 10 versions just having one touching point between pieces, I finally made it! Such a great puzzle! Looking forward to your part two video of this puzzle!

[@BrokenGodEnt]

There are a couple times he hasn't solved a puzzle and still made a video.

[@96insaneboy]

I can't believe I like puzzles because of you. I found your channel by accident, first video I saw was of you solving the 10000$ puzzle. From that point on I slowly got hooked. 3 days ago I went and bought 6 hanayama puzzles, half of them level 9 and the other half level 10. I intentionally wanted them to be difficult so I can spend as much as time as possible on a puzzle. Cast Radix for example took me around 6 hours. Anyways, I just really wanted to say Thank You.

[@FancyDefect]

Try solving it in a spiral, that piece hes shown could just be the start of it.

[@markusl.4290]

As a nerd, I would imagine that this is solvable through math by calculating the circles occupied by each piece and their edges and the amount calculated has to be compared with the existing number of holes on the board and then you build up on that logic.

[@AhsimNreiziev]

+[Vedran Bilosnic] That would depend greatly, actually. There are plenty of computer programs that make use of logic, but especially this is true within the realm of Artificial Intelligence, as those are programs that write *_their own_* logic. _[Or, well..... more specifically, they have a "helper program" to go alongside them that basically rewrites the AI program over and over again until it has good enough logic to solve the given problem.]_

[@Digital-Dan]

What's called for is a recursive depth-first search. Some sort of methodical process simply to enumerate all the possible moves, leaving out those that violate the rules. You could use intuition to choose the order of selecting pieces to place, but you would have to have a method of avoiding ANY repeats. The thing that makes many long-time favorite games and puzzles so annoying is that computers are much better at this sort of thing than we are.
