Yeah, right? How is this a "puzzle"? If i sit you down in front of a computer that is password protected and tell you, that you have to brute force your way in, how is that a puzzle? It's literally brute forcing, if you don't get any help or clues from the puzzle on how to solve it faster than by trying every single pissibility comoletely blind. I think the boobietraps are making it waaay to hard to solve, if you can't even get it right with the solution in your hands on the first try ... You'd need years to brute force your way in and try everything you can do with this box. And you would've probably broken it before you solve it.

"After opening the drawer, close it again two times, place it in a saline solution, pour liquid nitrogen in, and when it lowers 29.6 Kelvin, take it out, put it back in again, and spin it 35 times. Take it out,, perform 3 Gregoric chants, throw it against a wall but only until you hear a subtle click. If you hear a creak, you're in a booby trap. Spin around 3 times (you, not the phone), then the compartment should open again. SHOULD.

Agreed. This is definitely not a puzzle - at least in the traditional sense. Solving this would require either a shit ton of trial and error OR actually drawing out diagrams and blueprints on paper and using math and physics to work it out. A puzzle should be something MADE to be solvable by the user (giving feedback/hints). This "puzzle" seems to be MADE to be as unbreakable as possible and deters people from wanting to solve it. It is NOT a puzzle. It's a PASSWORD with absolutely no hints to about how to get the password.

Maybe you haven't played with many of these kinds of puzzles, but spinning is often a helpful trick and in the case of some simpler puzzles is the sole solution. Centrifugal force (yes I know it's just a construct) is a useful means of manipulating internal kinetic elements of puzzles. Experienced puzzle solvers will generally try it.

Emerald what he means is, it’s not a logical puzzle anymore because no one would logically think to spin it that many times. When instructions are given throughout, when you are required to have prior knowledge in order to figure it out, it assumes that you cannot use mere logic to figure it out. What that means is that it isn’t a puzzle anymore but instead a lock, where you are required to follow instructions or very specific steps in order to progress or solve

[@peterboneg]

A good demonstration of how easy it is to make a puzzle that is too difficult to solve and what a pointless waste of time it is to try to solve said puzzle.

I agree; theres challenging, then theres just pointlessness. There should be some reasonable ability to solve a puzzle, some logical reason why you need to do certain things. Giving the numbers some sort of meaning that someone could logically assign might be good. There’s no logic or puzzle to this, it’s just a complicated design that without knowledge of the actual innards you’d have no hope of solving it short of somehow stumbling upon it accidentally which would be incredibly unlikely. Considering that even with directions its still hard, making this more of a fidget toy than a puzzle that with enough toying with the mechanisms will eventually function. 25 spins? WHAT? Incredible engineering and really cool design, but as a puzzle is supposed to test ingenuity and knowledge I find it to be more a game of chance with puzzle mechanics than just a puzzle.

this is not a puzzle it has no logic trail, it is essentially a lock you must get the combination to open it. Anyone can make an impossible puzzle, the true art lies in making a difficult solvable puzzle with elegant steps. In other words it should be frustrating, intriguing, maddening but solvable that is where the fun is. If it is unsolvable then it is not a puzzle it is a $1000 block of wood. They should have included a difficult separate solvable box with encoded instructions inside now that would be cool. Or even a solvable hidden compartment with encoded instructions, to be a true puzzle it must be solvable on its own. The last thing a true puzzle solver wants to do is make a call of shame to the manufacturer you must give them a fighting chance.

Exactly as "Billy" said, it's a lock not a puzzle. It would be easier to open a standard S&G 3 wheel combination lock without the combination and it would be more rewarding too. A good locksmith could do it without drilling in under an hour, a layman should be able to learn to do it and accomplish that task within a few hours. The so-called "traps" inside this lock are essentially the same as the anti-manipulation measures used in a SCEC approved combination lock (like the Manifoil MK4 that almost no one can successfully manipulate making it a secure lock as destructive measures must be taken to open one without a combination).

[@jackmars931]

If a puzzle isn't solvable by smart people without the help of the creator, then just isn't a real puzzle, it's a lock, as others have said. I could take two sticks and a piece of paper and make an unsolvable "puzzle" just by being unfair. This seems to be just a well crafted lock rather than a true puzzle. One essential element that divides a puzzle from a lock is fairness, and this object doesn't play fair, again making it a lock rather than a puzzle.

[@BigPesh77]

was thinking that same thing, i think part of what make a good puzzle actually good is to balance complexity. This puzzle is so far into the complex side, rather than the simple side, that i do not believe it is reasonable to expect a person to be able to solve this without instructions.

[@Real_MisterSir]

@@BigPesh77 Agreed. A puzzle can be extremely complex, but there has to be a system to solving it. If any step is a sequence of seemingly random actions that don't have any tells, then it's no longer a puzzle but rather a lock code. It's like asking a person to solve the pincode for your credit card. A good complex puzzle has tons of traps and misleading directions, but it maintains a form of system to the actual solutions that you can logically work towards solving - once you realize what the system is. For something like this puzzle, the stuff about pitching the dial a few millimeters to one direction, then to the other, then tilting it a bit - all without any tells or indicators, is just mindless fiddling unless you know the sequence already.

It wasn't designed to be solved in a day. There is no randomness as the instructions make explicitly clear. If you don't understand how it is supposed to be solved then you need to go look at FLEB's channel. He explains how to iteratively solve such complex puzzles (this being magnitudes more difficult than most but the same methods apply). It's like finding vulnerabilities in software and figuring out how to exploit them. They can take months in some cases. tl;dr obscurity is not randomness. Obscurity is solvable through iteration over whatever timeframe is necessary.

War Veteran 1-10 congrats you just explained puzzles !

[@ECL28E]

What would make more sense is, maybe engrave a phone number onto the puzzle's body or the receiver part. Use that to guide the bearings into their proper spots. Like an actual rotary phone

Actually I think the designers are the losers from a business perspective. The word is out the puzzle is unsolvable, so I doubt they will have any significant sales of the product long term.

Love this I’m addicted to watching you solve these and that is absolutely insane puzzle and beautifully evil designed ,no shame in using the solution ! Thankyou for the content

This is a BAD puzzle. Puzzles are supposed to be solved, so there had to be something to hold on to, to get something from. This one, as many commented, consists basically of MANY combinations. The main thing that makes it bad - you don't solve it, you either try combinations or follow the solution.

[@zengarou]

The craftsmanship and mechanics of this puzzle are amazing, but I have to agree. Puzzles, no matter how difficult, are still POSSIBLE to solve. You have better changes of consecutively correctly guessing lottery numbers (in order) than you do figuring this thing out.

[@fizizy6415]

This reminds me of trying to solve call of duty zombies easter egg puzzles back in the day. I'd eventually give up and look for the solution on KZbin and think, ya there is a 0% chance anyone would ever solve this without being told what to do.

[@MrCthur]

One of the first that felt more like a disassembly than a puzzle solve. Crazy.

[@henrybrennan9522]

This isn't a "puzzle" per se, but a monument to device complexity. A great addition to one's collection, but you absolutely need the directions (which should come with the puzzle), This was my favorite episode regarding puzzles and if I could afford it ,I would definitely purchase one for myself (btw - it's not yet out of stock as of this comment's posting). A seriously entertaining post, Chris!

[@addiefanlow7253]

You don't 'need' the directions. We have become an "I want results now or its pointless" society.

[@henrybrennan9522]

Is that why no one has yet solved it without directions? There is, of course, an amount of time spent in which you encounter diminishing returns (also known as 'obsession')

[@Medved-Yarik]

What's the point of it being so supercomplicated? No logical solution, no fun.

[@mzxrules]

i can see one thing it's good for. if you memorize the instructions and practice them, you could unlock it as a little party trick

[@andy-the-gardener]

Debatable if this is even a puzzle. The hidden steps seem to be impossible to discover even by accident and there is no apparant objective to be reached. How does deductive reasoning come into play when steps could only be found by blind luck and mindless determination.

[@dorianlavergne9225]

Lol “hold over head to get out of booby trap.”

[@Makawav]

That its a puzzle is in no way debatable. Whether its to random and ridiculous to approach is. I dont know how this comment section has sunk into the question of whether or not its a puzzle. Yes it is. Is it worth your time? probably not. But its a puzzle any way you look at it.You have to work the pieces to get to the solution or not because.... youre puzzled.

[@MrYugideck]

Makawav Of course it's debatable. It's not up to you to decide that.

[@Makawav]

@@MrYugideck Yup its debatable like whether or not we're speaking english with each other right not. And in the english dictionary, if you look up puzzle, you'll find a definition that matches what this thing is.

[@Saminkio]

@@Makawav actually, it is not a puzzle. Puzzle, definition: noun a toy, problem, or other contrivance designed to amuse by presenting difficulties to be solved by ingenuity or patient effort. This is not something you can solve by ingenuity or patient effort, seeing as there is no logical way to get to the solution, especially by ingenuity or patient effort

[@quartlex1895]

Lord Phontaroy 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I'm sorry, but puzzles like this aren't good and they aren't well designed because their solutions are essentially random. They don't take thought and creativity to solve - they take trial and error with enormous amounts of blind luck. It's like solving a combination lock by randomly guessing and considering it to be the greatest puzzle ever just because it was incredibly hard.

[@starcrafter13terran]

Except, a combination lock would have less possibilities. You don't have to spin the lock or enter 6 combinations in the right order.

[@lizc.671]

Maybe it’s just trying to throw you off

[@jaidenjones7735]

Jaiden Jones u right

[@robotchaffee]

[@Uncleforu]

Not really a puzzle if theres no logic involved. Just dumb blind arbitrary steps.

[@KimonFrousios]

They seem arbitrary, because we don't know the nature of the traps and the mechanism. They'd make perfect sense if it was transparent. But then it would just be a modestly hard puzzle for kids, not a clickbait-y impossible "puzzle".

[@vetradox2461]
