That puzzle is a lot of fun, my wife and I got it apart alright, but after a bottle of wine we could not figure out how to get it back together. Great video sir, thanks for sharing the solution

[@EricBuffington]

That is awesome! Sounds like a great date night!

[@jrinventormusic]

Thank you so much. I have been traveling with this puzzle. Got stopped by TSA every time I was late for a flight! Then, when i got it apart i havent been able to put humpty dumpty back together! so i've had this jingling all in my pocket and bag. Thank you a ton for making this!

[@EricBuffington]

that's such a funny story! I love it! :)

[@shredcity]

It also works by pushing the 1st and 2nd pieces through the cylinder in opposite directions. Once you can see the two notched rings inside the cylinder and understand the mechanics of how its working you're on the home straight. 20-25 mins to take apart, 10 mins to put together.

[@EricBuffington]

Nice job! :)

[@SteveHofsaess]

If I did not cheat and google the solution, it would take me 20-25 days to figure it out

[@koleman3774]

Thank you. 4 days of trying to put it back together with no success

[@EricBuffington]

Glad this helped! :)

[@sihartgroves7549]

Lucid and well-produced exposition. I solved it randomly initially and have been trying to formalise the most efficient (least number of moves) solution. Excellent stuff - many thanks.

[@EricBuffington]

Awesome! Glad it was helpful for you! :)

[@clementeloiacono7345]

Thanks to you and Jim. Finally I was able to put back together all the pieces

[@EricBuffington]

So happy to hear it!

[@CaptainPeterRMiller]

I love these puzzles but the Cylinder had me really going. Thanks Eric and love to Jim.

[@EricBuffington]

:) This one can definitely be tricky! I also like it because it can't get too messed up either. Thanks for the comment!

[@Cheesepuncher]

Thanks for this video. I took it to bits in about 15 minutes but I'd never have got it back together lol

[@EricBuffington]

Yeah it is definitely challenging to get back together! Glad you enjoyed the video! :)

[@jayjayontour7306]

that's the first puzzle I've bought myself and just cool, I've needed two hours for this. Cool video. My abo you have. Leg Jay Jay

[@EricBuffington]

Glad it helped! This puzzle is a good first puzzle! Now you can carry it around with you and stump all your friends. :)

[@expioreris]

There is a faster way to find Jim. When one piece drops you can look at other pieces sides a little. You can find Jim by only moving one part up and down. That means I use maximum of 3 moves instead of 6. And after finding Jim you have 2 ways to solve the puzzle. The funny thing is that you took it apart with method one (first part goes out the same direction that Jim is going - down) but you put it back together with method two (Jim is up but last part comes from the bottom).

[@sparkeyjames]

I object to being a an object of your puzzle solving.

[@EricBuffington]

ha ha! Too bad Jim! :)

[@TheHarleyhillbilly]

It took me about 50 minutes to get apart, I have to confess I got lucky in the fact that the first piece to drop down was the correct piece that allowed the rings to turn. About 15 minutes putting it back together.

[@EricBuffington]

Nice! I love when that happens! But if it happens once and you don't know it's only one spot, it can be a little frustrating the next time you go to solve it and it doesn't work. :)

[@dylanlangston6668]

putting it back together is the real puzzle

[@EricBuffington]

definitely!

[@superscribe6651]

Omg putting it back together had me stumped.... Geez, going from opposite directions didnt occur to me lol, i dont know how I get it apart but it worked hahaha

[@EricBuffington]

Nice! This was definitely a tough puzzle! Good job getting it apart! :)

[@sattaurnikki]

Fantastic! I went over to some Indonesian friends, and the first time I saw this puzzle. I tried to fix it but couldn't. Thanks

[@EricBuffington]

no problem! :)

[@DirtCheapTerrains]

I was gifted this puzzle after I bought the maze one and I got super cocky because that one is harder than this one. I thought I could take this apart and back together in 15 minutes. Boy was I wrong 😂 My partner had a field day watching me struggle

[@hinatashoyo8401]

Thanks me and my mom have been trying to put it together

[@EricBuffington]

Glad I could help!

[@DavidGriffiths]

Thank you! You really ought to have explained which end of Jim you were inserting back into the rings upon the reassembly. But i got it, thanks heaps!

[@EricBuffington]

That's a great point! Noted!

[@AsyaSh]

Thank you!

[@EricBuffington]

You're welcome!

[@AltonRowell-gb1lb]

A die grinder worked great for me. But you can use a band saw.

[@EricBuffington]

ha ha! Nice!

[@bryanchevrier2339]

Than you from Canada

[@EricBuffington]

yup, born in Canada!

[@crazygroudo8105]

Even as I’m sitting here watching the process to put it back together I can’t even get the second piece pushed up at 6:46 😂😂😂

[@EricBuffington]

keep trying! You'll get it! :)

[@Powerenid]

So helpful! English is not my 1st language so I had to decrease speed to 0.75 ;) but it was very clear, thanks a bunch!

[@EricBuffington]

You're welcome! So glad it helped!

[@plonkster]

My son got one for Christmas. I solved it twice by accident, then got stuck... I never noticed Jim was different! :-)

[@EricBuffington]

Yes! That is super important to notice. :) Good luck! :)

[@s.christopher3773]

Hi great video! How about the Hanayama Trinity? I ordered through ebay shipped from Japan great puzzle but it's very difficult!

[@EricBuffington]

I don't have that puzzle yet. I did see it over on Mr. Puzzle's channel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXfMZZSwlM6AY8k

[@s.christopher3773]

Thanks I know Mr. Puzzle has a video on it, seen it and still confused as the Trinity is hard to solve. I enjoy these vids but I'm trying not to watch as it spoils the fun of solving. I have 20 Hanayama puzzles, solved most of them but that one is a doozy!

[@MBA2804]

First cast puzzle ive bought and I took it apart in about 10 minutes. Took two days and this video to get it back together though...

[@EricBuffington]

This one is definitely a challenge. That's great that you got it apart in 10 minutes! Good job!

[@ishio95]

took 1 or 2 hours to take it appart, took 5minutes to put it back. Also, the piece that helped me most was not "Jim" but Hanayama piece. Dunno if i'm alone on this one

[@EricBuffington]

The Hanayama Piece is definitely one of the four most important parts :)

Happy to help! :)

🙏🇬🇹🤣

[@Texan1048]

Last piece to reassemble won't fall back in! It keeps trying to solve itself when I try!

[@EricBuffington]

hmmm, that's odd. I'm not sure why it would do that. Is your Cylinder Puzzle, perhaps possessed by a ghost?

[@Sara-mk1mj]

First one I ever bought and solved it

[@EricBuffington]

That's awesome! Good job!

[@talkingwithkirrah6037]

Just bought this one. My first ever. It's coming along but I dont want to see the solution yet.

[@c0obalt]

No clue if you’ll respond to a comment like this but I think I broke mine and I’m not sure what to do. I looked up your video because I got literally stuck. I took one piece out, and now I can’t move the pieces at all. It’s Jimmy and the piece that says “cylinder” that are still stuck. I can’t move them whatsoever without being super forceful. I think I somehow broke it but I don’t know what I did? I wasn’t being forceful with moving the pieces around at all.

[@EricBuffington]

I honestly don't know what to do if they get really stuck like that. Maybe try some wd40 to get them moving. It sounds like they might just be jammed together. Best of luck!

[@cb-vi3he]

They should replace every combination lock with these. lol

[@EricBuffington]

ha ha! :)

[@emmasdad5426]

Bought this one after the hanayama padlock I couldn’t solve. Did this one on the first time. 5 minutes to disassemble and an hour to put back.

[@EricBuffington]

Yeah it is definitely harder to get back together. Padlock is another one I have a video for. Here's the link if you need it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3rIhp2becx3r9k

[@nycsaba]

Yep, the same for me. I got lucky and disassembled it in 5 minutes just by fiddling with it without to much thought. But because of that luck on the disassemble I spend 1 hour to figure out how to put it back together :)

[@stephanieagacita9071]

Where to buy it?

Why is his name Jim?

[@EricBuffington]

Great question! I just like naming things Jim. :)

[@craig4451]

Would be kind of silly naming him Bob, don't you think?

this man has obviously never been mugged

[@sumkid9263]

This was way harder than Quartet

[@EricBuffington]

It is definitely tough!

[@blakehardy7105]

So if I had just kept turning it I would have eventually worn down the grooves from friction. 😬

[@EricBuffington]

ha ha! I guess that's another way to look at it. nice!

[@TAEBABY22]

Groovy

[@EricBuffington]

Totally!

[@rocfella]

This puzzle is so weird, level 4 and I disassembled it in 20 seconds

[@EricBuffington]

That's amazing! It definitely took me longer to take it apart.

Probably because we're similar pages. I hope you like my videos too. I try to make sure I post stuff that is different from Mr. Puzzle. Thanks for stopping by!

It's all good! I subbed because I love these types of channels. Very relaxing to listen to while I work. Just took me by surprise when KZbin decided to switch me to your video after several of his.

Oh come on, this one is a great puzzle. Now you know how to solve it, try to fool your friends.

[@Dime_Bar]

Did you just assume the gender of the puzzle piece by calling him Jim?

[@EricBuffington]

If a puzzle is made to be difficult, confusing and a general pain, shouldn't I assume that it is a man?

[@Dime_Bar]

@@EricBuffington sounds like it should of been called Jane then.
