Einstein's Spider Box Puzzle

[@Dargonhuman]

I like these deceptively simple puzzles, but that's not what I want to leave a comment about. I've watched a bunch of your puzzle videos and love them all, but I didn't even realize how they've helped me out and expanded my problem solving skills until recently at my fast food job. A while ago I was cleaning the soda machine in the lobby, and part of that had me partially disassemble the ice dispenser chute to get some mold from between two plastic pieces, but what I didn't realize was by doing so I accidentally "broke" it so that the ice no longer dispensed. Long story short, using the critical thinking and mechanical analysis techniques I've learned from watching you solve puzzles, I was able to fix the machine without needing to call out a repair technician. Keep in mind that prior to that, I had zero clue how the machine worked nor do I have any sort of specialized technical training, I just managed to figure my way through the process using puzzle solving techniques I've picked up from this channel and other similar channels (but mostly this one because I love your voice) so thank you for making me smarter.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Interest and curiosity are key to understand an learn! Congratulations you applied it. Keep this mindset when facing further issues in the future. Great comment!

[@antagonist8629]

You should start doing live streams of you trying to open a new puzzle for the first time. That would be real interesting to see

[@Mr.Puzzle]

I see this request from time to time. I think I really need to work something out!

[@ghostlymerchant3152]

Mr.Puzzle yes that would be awesome!

[@Ryanhelpmeunderstand]

Thank you for making these elaborate puzzle videos! I really do enjoy watching you solve these! immensely amusing!

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Welcome, enjoy!

[@noimnotgod3324]

Why dont you show a video of you actually trying to solve them instead of the answers would be a lot more entertaining

[@AnonYmous-mc5zx]

Bruv, there's a spider on your puzzle, if there's ever a time for the hammer its now!

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Hammer!

[@jebolandutawacana]

whack!

[@Dargonhuman]

The puzzle is mostly wood... Kill it with fire!

[@2512Eu]

ROFL

[@jmaki01]

Mr.Puzzle 1q11

[@TheDBZCollector]

honestly, these are my favorite puzzles. just hit, twist, jerk, shake, etc. simple yet hard if you aren't used to puzzles

[@Mr.Puzzle]

For some reason I also like trick boxes very much. Can't tell you why but they are just cool.

[@Dargonhuman]

They're deceptively simple, and I love that kind of thing. People think it's some super complicated thing and will pull their hair out trying to figure it out, only for some jerk to thump in on the side and open it right up. That's why I think of them as "a**hole puzzles", because it takes a special kind of a**hole to think up something so deviously simple but make it appear so complicated.

[@TitanicTruths]

My aunt had one those common Japanese style sliding panel boxes. She handed it to me one day thinking id not know how to open it up, and i had honestly never seen one before either. But i took it and opened it perfectly as if i had done it 100x before.

[@YvonneWilson312]

Great box! For added fun i'd put a realistic model spider inside it!

[@birkan4955]

YVONNE WILSON yeah

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Oh yes, I will try it next time I give it to someone.

[@Varhaisperuna]

I would put a real spider inside it

[@CorruptedStevenWormyBoi]

Varhaisperuna yeh

[@SgtSupaman]

An important point here, don't store anything fragile in this box.

[@Dargonhuman]

Aw darn, and I was going to put my heart in it...

[@AlexHagos]

ahh.. that´s sweet

[@deezynar]

It looks perfect for storing my bottle of nitroglycerine.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Don't drop it!

[@trassage]

One day I really hope to see something rated 5/5. Or to see more 4/5 ones. Sometimes I think that to every puzzle that you show you give 3/5 rating which is a bit unfair, where were much more creative and diccicult ones. 1 smack puzzles are worth 1/5 I think. Just a thought :) Keep up the interesting work!

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Just check the 4/5 or 5/5 Playlist 😁

[@josebarba]

Mr puzzle has experience with puzzles. He has mentioned that some puzzles follow the same pattern for the solution. I think he has learned how to distinguish said patterns

[@tirkentube]

Sverr you're worth 1/5... just a thought. :)

[@Doug.the.welder-hj6cq]

Sverr check out the revomaze puzzle,I think he says 4/5 or 5/5 it looks impossible but he gets it!great vid

[@letshugitout2178]

Sverr i hear a lot of 3/5s as well

[@jakewastaken]

That caliper is some of the best money you’ve ever spent. You get mad use out of it, lol. It makes me want one.

[@alic.9409]

This would be neat for Halloween

[@rosebuster]

This is one of several puzzles you've shown on your channel that was made in Germany, but is sold by Puzzlemaster in Canada. So now the question is... Can it be bought directly from Germany instead somehow for those of us who live in Europe? Seems like such a pointless thing to have products travel back and forth between continents.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

You can buy puzzles from Constantin also directly from the manufacturer. But they do not have a web shop. They only sell their products on fairs an Christmas markets.

[@rosebuster]

Damn... Well, that's not helping then. But thanks for the response!

[@xerosparks1005]

I usually don't like simple puzzles but this one, i love it.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

:D

[@utareangara5529]

i expected it to be more complicated

[@Gsavell]

1 move way to simple. nice looking though

[@fizixx]

Love the box. Not that crazy about gimmicky solutions. Still an enjoyable video, thanks for posting.

[@Milan_Openfeint]

It may be better to move some more stuff before the spoiler break, to introduce the puzzle a bit better. In this case, everything up to say 2:30 is pretty safe.

[@dom7488]

i like box puzzles so much! amazing video

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Thanks!

[@El_Guapo74]

Thats a nice weed box

[@soulstyce198]

Does not stop a hammer

[@striver1987]

Shut up loser

[@jonni2734]

Really good puzzle! Good video!!

[@petergriffin1250]

A box? Smack it!!! Shake it!! Spin it!!!Open it!!!

[@nickvictor7398]

Very good demo 👌 thank you

[@gferrol118]

With a name like spider box, I wouldn't open that in a million years

[@CLOSE1RocketLeague]

A puzzle... smash it and it opens?? Even my 2y old frozen puzzels are harder xD this is just a box

[@Name-ej3px]

I imagine someone buying this puzzle, accidentally dropping it, and solving it accidentally, and thinking they somehow spoiled it

[@cutthatcoconut9018]

Your voice comforts your channel and your puzzels Reply if you see this

[@Mattquatch1]

Disappointing that you don't have to hit the spider itself, I dislike these puzzles where the solution isn't derived from information given by the box...

[@Mr.Puzzle]

That would be cool! 😁

[@vapormermaid]

If it's any consolation, I immediately figured out that you'd have to impart energy to the box in order to solve it because of the Einstein.

[@2512Eu]

Matty, the best puzzles - like some people on this Earth- won't talk you about themselves because they are quite simple (assuming it is a desireable quality). The ones that talk much, either lie or try to seem interesting through an "apparent" complexity. xD

[@MattCrawley_Music]

Maybe that would be too obvious

[@neverzoned]

Thank You for doing the dimensions of the box that was cool.

[@StevenP727]

Love the videos you make about puzzles.... but then I'll always know how to solve them. A win lose lol keep the puzzles coming

[@curtwinterstein1067]

Looks like a very cool gift box!! }:D Really Enjoy watching you solve these!!!

[@ThinkTank255]

The "Einstein" must be meant facetiously, as in "That guy is a real Einstein."

[@christurp7881]

Just want to say I been watching for a while and enjoy what u do

[@lizabnntt77]

I love your videos!

[@Rqket]

Thank you for this! I need to get this, my friends will not even think of doing that to open the Einstein Box. I need to store like a Diamond in it, nobody will get it open. xD

[@blargo]

What's the point of the metal stud passing through the front of the box? You mention it when describing the appearance of the box, but it doesn't appear to come into play. Just a distraction?

[@Mr.Puzzle]

It's only used to fix the mechanism.

[@saadmughal6276]

It would be so awesome if you could finish your videos with 'I'll be back' You have the right accent!

[@revolutionaryprepper4076]

Um, I don't Einstein was into spiders. Maybe they should rename it the spider box puzzle.

[@MrWhiseguyy]

Gutes Video, wie immer!

[@rowediscipulo9306]

The greatest design I've ever seen, and here is my thoughts: Few centuries back; mostly all people would just solve it in seconds And in Present Day; Mostly people would take hours while a few would take in seconds.

[@loganbyrne3054]

on the off chance, I found your site, awesome way to do things without electronics. I used to sell some of these old school. And damned if I didn't do all of them before selling them.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Did you sell them online?

[@loganbyrne3054]

Couldn't, privacy agreement. I nailed all the puzzles but could not sell because of company policy.

[@cooldtea3331]

1:48 love your native tongue, keep up the work and make us proud :D

[@davidimhoff5571]

I stumbled onto your page and I enjoy it so much. Watching you figure them out and your commentary is extremely entertaining. I have subscribed and probably will end up purchasing a box just not sure which one. Keep doing this please.

[@arthurkemp9579]

David Imhoff likewise

[@manichamartia8775]

That's where Einstein kept his stash

[@dankacerek3483]

Claude Faustus would be honored.

[@jyesucevitz]

A one move solution that rates a 3 out of 5? Even Chris Ramsay would only give it a 2!

[@danielb.2324]

solution *pulls out a sledge hammer*

[@willpascarella4509]

Thanks for another great video

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Welcome!

[@birkan4955]

Mr.Puzzle good morning

[@crystalheart9]

Cool puzzle :)

[@ParaglidingSweden]

Sorry I can’t find this box in your amazon shop. Can you add the full adress? Or describe how I can find it?

[@RVFFICA]

I wouldnt even consider these puzzles if all it takes is a smack for a magnet

[@frankbrislin4378]

Mr.Puzzle , 0:50 I'll get the axe. L😆L!!

[@sparky8430]

Carsalesmen: slaps roof of car* Thats how you open this thing

[@williambarnes5023]

*"Keep in mind that knowing the solution cannot be reversed!"* Sure it can. I'll take a nap soon, and when I wake up it'll be gone.

[@PetermusPrime]

You don't really want to put anything fragile in there.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Haha, did not consider that! :)

[@spiceyicey]

Oh, so you could still use it for storage!

[@Puzzils]

This is amazing :)

[@farmedit1]

Harder puzzles please, 5/5,

[@bassred7065]

The floor solved this puzzle for me when i dropped it..

[@homspie7592]

good thief proof storage , unless you're dealing with 1 years old that like to throw stuff

[@andrew_owens7680]

Looks way too much like the Hellraiser box!

[@gorgono1]

Oh, so that is why it opened when I threw it against the wall ...

[@mork6668]

LOVE YER VIDS MAN!!

[@davidrobot7818]

this is a 2/5 puzzle.

[@StefanReich]

1/5 rather

[@moiubhjjujhhjjhy6383]

How about 0/5?

[@interestingusername2633]

how about -1/5

[@Leo-pr7ly]

It's not a puzzle its just a Trickbox.

[@Vanpotheosis]

1/5 For sure.

[@Gsavell]

i want to see mr puzzle and chris ramsay doing a puzzle off with something neither of them has solved and no conferring.

[@trumpeter811]

What puzzle does mr.puzzle have to solve to get into his own house?

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

I was really hoping this will not be a little more complicated to open 😔

[@coooolibri]

you have cool puzzles, but honestly anybody can do this in their basement. the cheapest wood, the easiest way to produce.

[@MrBonias1]

I’ll put my money there,my wife will open it in 6-8 seconds

[@heliopyre]

I don't like these types of puzzles, because they aren't puzzles. there's no problem solving involved, it's entirely predicated on knowing about magnet tricks like that. a good puzzle is one that hides the solution in plain sight and requires problem solving.

[@Eeveetrix0908]

This kind of puzzle are actually not puzzles at all... They have magnet mechanisms and are not really based on critical topology.

[@rslax]

Can you tell me what puzzle you found the hardest you have done and tell me link I want to watch that one, Thanks!

[@kirstyshadowdancer5095]

daawwww :) I love spiders. WI have to find one of these for myself!

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Check out the link in the video description.

[@rich1051414]

Hate to be that guy, but you say: "How it looks" or "What it looks like" but never "How it looks like" "How it looks" refers to an overall abstract appearance, and "what it looks like" refers to specific comparisons like it. Hope that helps. You wouldn't say 'it looks _like_ good', so you wouldn't say 'how it looks like'. You would say "It looks like a box spiderman owned", so you would say "What it looks like".

[@frankylee7063]

1 or 2 maybe

[@benthomason3307]

The CIA should keep their documents in your stuff.

[@biesmusik]

this is good stuff

[@utilizatornecunoscut2729]

"Hello and welcome to the slingshot channel"

[@saskoilersfan]

Funny , you can solve little toys but can't solve the Kennedy Os/Oz enigma._.

[@jayeshgajare2456]

I never understood how to use that vernier calliper in school

[@laservox2630]

That's a great place to hide some money or weed or something.

[@ChaoticRain1]

not really, if the person really wanted to get the contents, they could just break it. seems pretty flimsy

[@zlatyan]

Hello Mr. Passl

[@AsheronsFall]

To fix it, you just need to smack it, like most stuff. :D

[@MrLordFireDragon]

Whaaaaaaat! There's literally a spider spinning a web on the front and spinning isn't the answer? The one time a move like this is actually clued, and it doesn't relate to the answer :(

[@HartSickle]

I solved it! Its so easy! The secret is to use a saw!

[@ipike373]

I WANT TO SEE SOMEONE SOLVE THE PUZZLE WHEN THEY’VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE. Knowing the solution and walking viewers through it is not fun.

[@lisastarves5543]

I want a puzzle box..

[@letshugitout2178]

Can u hide stuff in a box like this from the cops or would they make u open it

[@Omicron9999]

So, this is clearly a 1 out of 5 puzzle. Anyone is gonna get this open pretty quick regardless of their intelligence, since people with low intelligence go full caveman and just start hitting and banging on things, which is exactly what you need to do here, and it's just one move. Giving every easy puzzle 3 out of 5 by default doesn't reflect their actual difficulty and isn't very informative. I don't know if you just want to be nice to the company that made it and feel bad giving scores lower than your middle of the road score, but this most definitely is not a 3 out of 5 difficulty.

[@kuki5653]

nice video mr Puzzle

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Thanks!

[@birkan4955]

General Guy good morning broo

[@TheDuo702]

I wud buy this for a safe if it was more durable

[@DeathLender]

Where is mrs puzzle

[@Robertlavigne1]

There are so many more interesting box mechanisms out there. Why keep showing the same type?

[@garrytalaroc]

I could just step on it. Easy

[@dystrophic]

Hmm maybe I can buy this to store Switch game cartridges or SD cards.

[@jackbuster6553]

I have a key to this... a hammer

[@anerythm2794]

Yush never hide and lost my weed again !!!

[@HeavySandvichGuy1]

Sorry, I don't have experience with puzzles, but this one was really 1/5 difficulty

[@dylancorreya1627]

What kind of a social life does this guy have ?

[@littlehalo]

amy likes spiders

[@lexieve4325]

This one was way too easy
