Hanayama Equa Puzzle (Full Solution)

[@michaelkentlive]

I've got several level 6 Hanayama Puzzles. This one is - by far - the hardest one. I would be okay if it didn't exist.

[@EricBuffington]

I definitely have struggled with this one. I think what makes it so hard is how subtle the difference is between the thickness of the edges, and how exact you have to be when choosing where to start! Ugh! definitely frustrating!

[@404NameNotFound.]

Thank you, you are the first one who actually explains how to put it back together, and not just say two words and just keep assembling without showing the details. Thank you

[@EricBuffington]

Glad the video was helpful for you! :)

Fantastic. Got the Equa for Christmas a few days ago. I was on the right track with the width differences, but I got one of the C pieces wrapped around a arc and the other C hooked into the first. As cautious as I was, I cannot back out of my position. Not new to these puzzles and never force anything, but I am completely stuck at this point. 🤣

[@Kleintys]

Same I actually did complete it but I reassembled it and now I did something and it's stuck

[@primalconcretesledge3137]

This one nearly landed me in a straight jacket.

[@EricBuffington]

This one bothered me for the longest time. I sat it on the shelf for 6-7 months because it stumped me too!

[@zoethedeathgod]

Just solved mine! Thanks for the video! Super helpful!

[@EricBuffington]

Glad it helped!

[@kirinrex]

Thank you! This was awesome. I just couldn't get this one. Turns out my puzzle really gets jammed up, even when I'm doing it right. I think they made it just a tiny bit too precise.

[@EricBuffington]

This one was definitely one of the most frustrating of the puzzles I've ever done. :)

[@striderzer0]

I was attempting to put the knob at 14:05 up but it slipped and it on the left, now I cant get it back/ afraid ill put it in a unsolvable state 🤔

[@erniewurtz243]

Thanks that was a big help

[@Fabian-ci4cb]

by far the best solution video I saw, I am finally able to solve it quick whenever I want to :D Thx so much! Is there more to come?

[@EricBuffington]

I'm posting weekly videos on puzzle solutions and I have a playlist with about 20 puzzles. It's going to grow. Lots of demand for it so I'm going to focus on that for a bit.

[@traffy1874]

A great solution, finally got this one apart. Wayyyy too hard for me

[@EricBuffington]

This one is so hard!

[@Gr1mTh3R34p3r]

I bought this puzzle at a difficulty rating of 5 thinking it would be challenging but not to hard boy was I wrong. Took me awhile to get apart had no idea how to put it back together. Thanks for the awesome videos keep up the good work.

[@EricBuffington]

So glad you found the video! :)

[@remcojustremco7745]

There is a tinner edge????? I got it apart, but couldn't get it back together again, no wonder

[@EricBuffington]

It's so subtle it's super frustrating!

[@camrynfives8945]

mines stuck on a thick one

[@indiandesitom2197]

Write a imaginary dialog between two birds in winter,one of whome is flyingaway to warm country and the other who is stuck in a cold make a video on this tropic

[@EricBuffington]

That sounds like a funny idea. :)

[@TyyzhenTao]

Couldn't even solve it with the solution right in front of me. I'm just really slow I guess.

[@EricBuffington]

Just keep at it! You can do it! :)

[@tallicafan85]

ive been trying for so long.. im soo bad at puzzles

[@EricBuffington]

Keep trying! You'll get it! :)

[@rashadnagi7531]

Ok....I bought this puzzle ten years ago, why am I just now thinking to look up a solution.

[@EricBuffington]

Glad you found the video. This one is very tricky! Best of luck!

[@ashtonbradley6272]

I just have up because I have nothing to measure with

[@EricBuffington]

definitely helps to have some kind of measuring tool. That is the most frustrating part of this puzzle.

[@ragingpotato]

I used an adjustable crescent wrench. You should try that

[@ixw820]

I got it apart today, but I linked the 'C' pieces together backwards, and now I have to solve it again. Definitely bummed

[@laurelwilson8285]

I watched this after solving on my own because I heard there was more than one solution. I've been doing this differently than what I see in this video, but I think I'm still using the thinnest edge.

[@EricBuffington]

Good job! That puzzle was such a killer! ugh!

[@socksrpockets4urtoes]

🤦😓😳

[@MsEddiepark]

the very last part is next to impossible. you guys need to explain better the last part god dammit

[@winsomewoodcock5689]

poop

[@EricBuffington]

better clean that up.
