I got the puzle for christmas a few jears ago, but I coudn't take it appart (and kind of rage quit). So my dad got a new toy for christmas and I got pleasure in watching my dad get frustrated for 3 hours. We all had a great time.

This was one of the first puzzles I ever purchased. It took me a long time to figure it out, but now that I know how to do it I can take it apart and put it back together in like 2 mins

[@vitamin..e]

I dissassamble it at like 11/11:30 PM ,2 weeks after I bought it, then I try to reassemble it but after an hour and a half, I was crying my life on my bed because I cannot put it together (and I was freakin tired). I solve it the next morning within a minute. Moral of the story, make sure you're relax and not distract (emotions and tiredness are dsitractions)

So glad I stumbled across this channel while I helping upload videos to my buddy's channel. I actually dug up some of my old decks (even ordered a couple more) to reignite that spark I had for close up. Thank you, Chris!

[@pwzee7509]

“They could’ve just given me these two pieces” LMFAOOOOOO

[@jacksong8748]

"They could have just given me these two pieces." I just bought this puzzle yesterday, and got it today. I took it apart in about the same time as you, probably a little longer, but I felt the EXACT same with those last two pieces. As I was taking it apart I was memorizing how to redo what I had done every step of the way, and then all of a sudden... I made progress and COULD NOT undo it... and after solving it the rest of the way, I am currently stuck at the same place you are at the end of this video, trying to switch the order of the two dangling pieces.

[@fostergilchrist6866]

Chris I have no words to explain how much I love your videos, keep up the good work!

[@DFAULT-qn3px]

I always love the music you choose, and the fact of how soothing your voice is.

[@dapperdragons7314]

This is one of my favorite Hanayama puzzles. And it took me MUCH longer to put it together than it did to take it apart. If you don’t put the pieces back in the EXACT way and order you removed then it won’t go back to its original position. It’s an amazing puzzle though and it’s fun to fiddle with once you’ve solved it a few times. Believe it or not though, there are a few puzzles by hanayama that are even harder, in my opinion. Quartet? I gave up on that one a LONG time ago...

[@nushur]

I admire how you can diligently and patiently keep working at things for a long period of time without any progress. There's life lessons to be learned there. Your videos are also clean and your contents are sharp which is very hard to find. I'm glad I found you. Subscribed.

[@ravonix9018]

This was the first puzzle I ever received, as a child for Christmas. I can't believe I missed this upload but it was so satisfying to see you complete it. Especially seeing someone who knows their way around puzzles struggle as much as I did. Thanks, Chris. This really meant a lot to me.

I am so happy you had so much "fun" with this puzzle. I got this puzzle like 4 years ago or something as a present from my wife at the time. I played with it for HOURS! I am sincerely ear to ear grinning at your experience with it. Thank you so much for this video! P.S. You're a mastermind. Keep up the amazing content.

[@Mandy0monday]

I enjoy watching your puzzle solving videos. It's interesting to be able to see that possible move to a solution while watching you struggle for a bit, but seeing the puzzle from the video watching perspective is so different to actually solving the puzzle.

[@brianas5494]

I’ve been watching your videos for about a year now and love your videos, I solved this puzzle about 2 months ago in about a half hour in school during a study hall and out it back together in about 5 minutes and after solving it looked to see if you had a video of it. So happy you finally found this puzzle and made a video on it. ☺️☺️☺️

[@Bread-wq4tq]

I’m so early so I want to say how much I love this channel

[@IvyHolo]

Okay now It's official. I watched too many puzzle videos. Tonight I had a dream about solving a level 10 wire puzzle that was made out of two 30 cm pieces. It was a royal blue anodized metal. I spun it around like a rubic's cube and solved it within 10 seconds. I was thinking that Chris would never be able to solve it. It would take him forever to solve it. 😂 Too bad I don't remember the shape of it 😐

[@kellaviietee]

Great video! I got this puzzle for the Christmas few years ago and it was nice surprise to see that in your video. I spent more than a week fiddling with it. Family hated me, but I needed to get it solved and back together. Hypnotizing. For me it also took less time to solve it than to put it back together. So all these are very familiar feelings and made me laugh hard :)

This was one of my first puzzles I ever purchased and it's definitely as difficult as it's been described. Anyways, as difficult as this puzzle is, it's become one of my favorites of all time.

I've wanted to see you try this puzzle for some time, cant believe I didn't see it when you posted it. Very satisfying when complete, one of the hardest hanayama I've collected, with the most sequential moves. I'll comment on some of your newer post about seeing you try 2 more puzzles. 1, hanayama's hourglass (I believe, could be wrong, 4 steel pieces if that helps) my hanayama collection includes almost all of their level 4 through 6 puzzles and that one topped enigma for me. Also VERY satisfying. 2, revomaze, start with aqua just for fun. Took me about 45 minutes to mentally map out but I doubt the community will be upset with you showing a solution for the easiest maze. We all have bridges to cross and I'm sure it will help the revomaze community in the end. Love the vids though, and always support! Thank you!
