Cracking Cryptex Steampunk USB sticks

[@MojoMfg]

Always nice to see some common utility added to "more simple" puzzles like these. Cool little puzzles

[@Puzzleguy]

Exactly. it's too bad people don't use them anymore. But I might use the Compass since it has a MicroSD adapter.

[@MojoMfg]

@@Puzzleguy Haha I still use the original style USB A drives everyday in my shop. However, the microSD adapter makes everything much more convenient. Thanks for the reply btw!

[@Puzzleguy]

​@@MojoMfg I use Micro SD and SD cards for cameras, but almost forgot when I used USB stick for the last time. I'm so old that I remember that times when I had a box of 3.5" floppy disks with me all the time. 😁 I try to answer all comments. People write them for a reason, I can't ignore my viewers.

What cool looking flash drives!

Congrats for solving the basket. These are great puzzles but no hint is given.

[@Puzzleguy]

Thank you, Peppermint was a tough basket. I'll tell a bit more in Friday's video. Both cryptex USB sticks are easy to solve. I think I mentioned how to crack both of them.

[@DomAZ]

@@Puzzleguy Yes they are very easy to solve. Just wanted to know if they are a meaning behind the numbers or it's just numbers.

[@Puzzleguy]

@@DomAZ Just numbers. What I really forgot to mention is that each puzzle has a unique combination. But I think they use the same digits in all puzzles.

On the first puzzle, the codex one how did you know in which side to enter the code?

[@Puzzleguy]

Actually you don't have to know it, just feel the puzzle. Each time you turn one of the dials while pulling out the inner part you feel a click. Once all pieces clicked you can remove thу flash drive. But there are also small marks on one of the sides.
