Solving the IMPOSSIBLE LOTUS Puzzle!! LEVEL 10!

[@ninjakitiesataku]

Its called a lotus flower because traditionally, you can pick up a lotus flower by its stem and twirl it between two hands (like one of those helicopter toys) and it will fly on its own. You have to unlock the puzzle by turning it upside down and spinning it by the screwed in piece (stem), just as you would a lotus blossom. That is how you unlocked the mechanism the first time if you pay attention closely.

[@garielgames4018]

@Shy Brother Speaks WHO THE HELL LIKED THE COMMENT

[@pam8806]

Reading through some of the comments and my own research, I'm piecing together some hints shared by other people regarding the "reason" behind the name. Kelsey Megan mentioned twirling it between two hands to make it fly - there are martial art movements called the Lotus Spin where you jump in the air and put your legs in a cross legged position while spinning in the air. I take it to depict the way that the lotus can spin and fly in mid air if you twirl it, hence the spinning action required to solve this puzzle (maybe). Also as a few people have pointed out, the first coin that came out is a Japanese 5 yen. The image on the 5 yen is a rice plant, which is planted in water. The second coin is a chinese 5 jiao, which is something like a 50c coin, and the image on the back of that is of a lotus. After looking for info on the lotus I found that the lotus (also grown in water) grows on a rotation cycle along with rice plants (the 5 yen). The lotus is harvested in July and the rice can then be planted in the same field, forming a rotation and making good use of the field. Perhaps the spinning action also represents the rotation of crops? I'm just making some educated guesses here. Btw awesome puzzle, and new subscriber :)

Shinikaru Yamayashi exactly what I was thinking the whole time.

[@hamsterfloat]

The true reason why this puzzle is called "Lotus Flower" is, that the puzzle has two coins, old one and new one. Both of coins hidden inside puzzle are 5 Yen, but first is very very VERY old one with a hole in coin's center, other is contemporary 5 Yen coin without hole. This is reference to Lotus seed's extraordinary durability, which can last virtually thousands of years. Thus, meaning of puzzle is, "relic" Lotus seed (old coin) being planted and blooming new Lotus Flower (new coin) Ultimately, the true answer to the puzzle, in terms of puzzle's mechanism , is, a synchronicity: as second coin, is designed to be obtained through accidental, but reasonably expected event. (well, spin mechanism itself requires "expected accident" as it is expected to be solved by spinning, but requires some "luck" for actual success.) - P.S. Little tip for folks who are curious about the reason why there is hole in old coin: it is hole there to allow the coin holder to hold a coin with tiny rope. (More precisely, it was not actually a rope hole; the hole was just part of coin's aesthetic feature, which represents ancient view on the Universe: the sky is round, and the land is square. Eventually people used that hole for roping coins though.)

[@albolawliet]

Sorry but you are wrong. The modern Japanese 5¥ still has a hole at its center. And it is exactly the one that the video uploader found first. The second one is not a Japanese 5¥. Not against your will of informing other people, but stop to act like you know stuff that you have not knowledge about.

[@hellspawn4654]

This video is good but don't let it distract you from the fact that gru is the most powerful person in the world First according to the height of a Minion (which is 3.5 feet on average) Gru is 4 minions tall, which means he is a godly size of 14 feet tall. Second if any of you remember the original Despicable Me, you Know there is a scene when Vector kidnaps the three girls and shoots a series of heat-seeking misses at Gru, he then dodge them all. According to the speed of an average ballistic missile (1900 mph) and the size of the missile according to his ankle size, Gru can perceive and move at such a speed that the missiles only move 9.5 miles per hour, 0.5% of their original speed. Plus after this Gru punches a shark and it is paralyzed meaning its spine is probably shattered, to remind you it would require a force greater than 3,000 newtons to fracture the spine. That’s equal to the impact created by a 500-pound car crashing into a wall at 30 miles per hour. I rest my case.

[@jackmiddleton2080]

I just researched them and didn't even figure that out. I just heard about how they come from often ugly ponds and they go under water and reemerge but that is not a great metaphor for the puzzle really. Yours makes perfect sense if that is common knowledge about lotus flowers.

[@IStMl]

[@wolfieismydog]

The whole time he solved the puzzle all I heard was Rock Lee saying the lotus flower always blooms twice.

[@oofbonk9741]

wolfieismydog lmfao me too holy shit

[@Bryce7639]

I think this pulls more from the Buddhist symbol of the Lotus flower, which is that it symbolizes purity and detachment. If you fell for the first coin, you wouldn’t understand why it’s called the lotus, but you also would have fallen to a worldly attachment, the five yen, symbolic of industry and agriculture.

#12:17　That is a ¥5(YEN) coin in Japan. On front surface,it has been writed "Japan SHOWA(period of time:kind of GENGO) 58th(1983 AD)" with KANJI. It means the coin is a property of Japan,and a product made in 1983. Also back surface,rice seedlings drawn and ¥5 written.

[@ApexierGS]

[@kaydens5303]

Why is you name Shushi chan sleeps

[@N7Fernandez]

5 yen coins are supposed to be a good luck charm.

[@DemMedHornene]

It might look like Chinese because it's only Kanji, but it is in fact Japanese writing on the coin. The front of the coin: 五円 means "five yen" in Japanese. The back says: 日本国 which means "Japan", and beneath: 昭和五十八年 meaning "Shōwa 58 years". So it's a Japanese 5 yen coin from the Shōwa period. If you google "5 yen" you will find an image of the same kind of coin almost immediately. I don't actually know what the 58 years are referring to, as the Shōwa period lasted from 1926 to 1989.

[@hydroxide5507]

Maybe you translated it wrong? I'm not doubting your skill it's just that 58 years is 1984 and unless it came from the future it cant be from 58 years after it ended And since it didn't end that year it couldn't be celebrating its end and how long it lasted But 58 seems like an odd number to celebrate(why not 50 or 60?) It might be some Japanese cultural lucky number(like 3 or 7 here) but I'm ignorant to their culture so I don't know

[@Floats736]

"The 58th year of the Showa-period" or just Showa 58 I think. The Romans did their calendar like that too in the Republic Age.

[@clementchung499]

Adding up to this, the second coin is the 50 cents coin from China RenMinBi (aka RMB). The lotus 50 cents is actually the new version in China starting from 2000. Just a FYI

[@shilo5187]

I lived in China for 2 years, so i could read it. The first coin is a japanese 5 Yen from the 58th Showa year(1983 AD). The second coin is a chinese 50cent of Yuan, probably manufactered on the last decade(he covered the actual year).

So I started on this one a few days ago. I got the first parts out and knew the next step had to be using the rods as a tool. I also felt the spin move was somehow part of it, but nothing worked! I fought with it for the longest time, then decided to watch this video. The first thing I noticed was the long thin pin that you were using was not part of my collection of pieces. Since I moved from the couch to the table so I could spin it better, I went back to see if i had dropped a piece! Voila! There it was between the cushions in plain view! I was able to solve it after that! So glad I watched the video or I’d still be struggling! Lol
