I got this for Christmas literally yesterday and i took it apart with some help from another video. Then i couldnt put it back together. Found this video and it still took me almost an hour and a half cause it wouldnt move how i wanted it to. Thank you for the help

[@Icewind007]

I've had this sitting solved and apart on my shelf for over a couple years now. I just followed this video verbatim at .5 speed and finally got it together! Much appreciated!

[@samikalastaja]

I seriously hate this puzzle so much. I managed to get in a such locked state that I can't move or I don't know how to but it back to the original position. It drives me crazy.

[@EricBuffington]

This is a tough one that can get very tangled!

[@stijn7876]

This puzzle has a lot of different, beautiful merges aside from the original setup. I really enjoyed it a lot but I have to agree with you. You can definitely tangle it up in such a way that you would rather throw it in a corner than keep trying to solve it :)

[@ThePresence.]

[@gojazz2462]

Easiest way to fix that is shaking it mindlessly and trying to turn it as many ways as you can, got REALLY stuck with mine as well, but that worked for me

[@lrc87290]

I got this puzzle for Christmas. I was able to disassemble it in about 20 minutes. Could not reassemble in this form even watching other videos. This is the best video for assembly of this puzzle. Could not have done it without it. I don't give up easily. I just want to reassemble and put it back in the box and be done with it. LOL

[@rodjohnson2632]

I've solved many of the hardest Hanayama puzzles (Level 6), but for some reason I've struggled with this one. I don't give up easily, so I'm not going to watch you video just yet, but I still gave it a thumbs up.

[@RossDM]

Managed to do this one yesterday. 20 minutes to dissemble but 90 minutes to reassemble. I found reassembling it really tough, you've done a good job of walking through it in a simple way here.

[@EricBuffington]

Nice job doing it on your own! This one is a really tough puzzle! :)

[@diedefending420]

Same here.

[@ASoggyShoe]

Found this puzzle in my room and remembered that i never put it back together several years ago😂 After 2 days of watching a video on the "easier" method🙄 this way finally worked. Might be confusing but atleast the parts fit. Thankyou! Debating on taking it apart or throwing it away😂

[@nate1920]

Wow amazing. I’m gonna have to watch this multiple times.

[@EricBuffington]

Yes, it does take a couple time working through it before it comes more naturally. Lots of steps to remember.

[@dalis994]

This hanayama puzzle was a bit too much for me, I got it apart but could not put it back together. I looked at some video solutions on youtube and most of them are really hard or impossible to follow. This quartet solution video is IMHO the best available, thank you

[@jloomis7]

Same. I bust it out occasionally thinking I'll get it back together but never do. I'm a pretty big puzzle fan, and this is literally the only one in my lifetime I can't get, even with help. I'd seriously pay someone 20$ to put it back together for me so I can finally let it go.

[@fritze.2966]

I tried since two weeks WITH a lot of solution videos - nobody explained it so that I could solve the reassemble. THIS video brought the breakthrough - now I can assemble it again. THANK YOU!

[@EricBuffington]

Love to hear it was helpful! :)

[@ghostofvalor4349]

I DID IT! Omg it took me like a solid week of messing with this thing every day. Thanks for explaining the steps!

[@EricBuffington]

Glad it helped!

[@katieramshaw185]

Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou, been at this puzzle on and off for 2 years and could NEVER solve it, I gave in and decided to watch a video and finally got it back together 😅🙏🏻

[@procrastinosaurus-rex5720]

I somehow disassembled and reassembled it without instructions once, then disassembled it againn but was absolutely unable to reassemble it a second time - it drove me insane. Thanks for the solve.

[@EricBuffington]

Glad it helped!

[@fellowearthling4609]

It really blows my mind that someone can look at a puzzle like this a figure out a solution to it all on their own. I can solve q few different rubix cubes, but that's bc I learned the algorithms. It's crazy for me to think that someone sat down one day and figured out those algorithms for the first time all in their head. I spent a long time analyzing this puzzle, moving one piece and seeing how that configuration restricted or enabled the movement of other pieces, really trying to make sense of it. But my brain was no match for it and after watching this tutorial I realized I would have never figured it out. For me this was a good lesson in mental limitations. I like to think of myself as an intelligent person and I excell in many different aspects of life that other people find hard, but in the realm of intuitively solving 3 dimensional puzzles like this I have no inherent skill whatsoever. And that's ok, it's a humbling experience

[@EricBuffington]

What blows my mind is the engineers who design these puzzles! They are super human!

[@edificati0]

With your help it is the first time I got the quartet back together after solving it! Thanks!

Glad I could help!

[@kainpwnsu]

This is the only 100% maddening Hanayama puzzle. Thank you!

[@crank1point3]

Found this puzzle in an old box. thanks for showing me how to put it back together in its original config. good video.

[@TheSkepticSkwerl]

I figured this out on my own before watching your video. And I still have no idea how. This puzzle is torture. Lol. I watched your video to learn it better. And man it has sooo many steps for such a simple design.

[@EricBuffington]

Definitely lots of steps! That's cool that you solved it!

[@llerroc]

Thanks for th videos. I love these puzzles. You said this is your second favorite, which one is your number 1 favorite?

[@Ma2xt]

I bought this puzzle around Christmas and within a day or so of fiddling with it, I somehow got it to come apart. I only just now had to watch your video to figure out how to put it back together. I never would have figured it out, my god this one is ridiculous. Thanks!

[@EricBuffington]

Great job!

[@frehleyrox]

Thank you. I solved it in about 1/2 hr. But needed to refer to your video to reassemble. Probably the most difficult Hanayama level 6 to date to reassemble that I’ve done.

[@EricBuffington]

It was a definite challenge! Glad this was helpful! :)

[@ghostofvalor4349]

I got mine 6 years ago ... I'm in the middle of a med change ... and I'm not handling this puzzle too well at the moment. Why am I so stupid??? How did someone design the puzzle?

[@Tamislumpd]

Solved ot in like 5 mins

[@jesuslopezanson5329]

omfg thank u so much man for the assembling part, it was somewhat longer than others, but with easy enough twists and turns that I was able to assemble mine without breaking it or soaking it in oil

[@EricBuffington]

so glad that it helped!

[@BlueStreak95]

How do you keep your peices well without chipping or scratching them? I really don't use force at all and they still chip or scratch occasionally.

[@EricBuffington]

Mine is pretty new. Maybe that's the reason.

[@Leowavekid]

Cool!! Which one is your number 1 favorite?

[@EricBuffington]

My favorite to date is still the NEWS. It is just such a little gem and I can carry it around with me a stump most people, then in a second almost everyone can solve it. So I like that about the puzzle.

[@Leowavekid]

@@EricBuffington Thank You Eric... I ordered one :).

Great job. I watched several others. They sucked. You made it doable.

I got 3min to disassembly and 13 min assembly 💪 no tips/tutorials didn't expect it to go that fast, tried anothet puzzle which was noted as less hard, and couldn't solve. The star with spiral

[@EricBuffington]

That's so good! Nice Job!

[@marissahartshorn7049]

This puzzle took me approximately 12 minutes to take it apart. Classic hanyama in the sense of 'if it doesn't move easy it shouldn't' And then I spent three days trying to figure out how to reassemble before giving up

[@josephobrien8843]

I can't manage to turn the hanamaya peice in the last step, is there a trick to it?

[@ArchibaldVIII]

2:28 how the hell are you able to make it appear that simple? Mine won't rotate in this step.

[@EricBuffington]

lots and lots and lots and lots of practice! :)

[@Adamsotherside]

I'm here because I'm an absolute failure.

[@EricBuffington]

But you can succeed. I have faith in you.

[@ghostofvalor4349]

Me too man

[@pibk7719]

I cant get past the first rotation it just locks

[@EricBuffington]

hmmm. Wiggle it a bit, but don't force it. Make sure it looks exactly like what I do.

[@pibk7719]

Thanks that helped me

[@ghostofvalor4349]

they changed the location of the stamps so ... you can't go by stamp orientation alone. It only marks the pairs.

[@ArchibaldVIII]

A little help here? I have the quartet couple in the "normal"/starting position, whereas the Hanayama are rotated 90 degrees. I can't go back to starting position for both couples.

[@michaelilanga2033]

This is ok, but I have a much easier way of doing this. Using the Hanayama pair as a “base” and moving the quarter pair around and then apart. Sliding the side of the one quarter part takes a lot of practice though.

[@EricBuffington]

Sounds cool! :)

[@stijn7876]

I eventually got the puzzle disassembled, but only thanks to your tutorial I got it back together. This is a very hard puzzle and I love everything about it. It feels great to handle, a very well designed piece! Thanks for the vid, it was very useful and not hard to follow. Well done.

[@abblepied]

got this at a white elephant party but i’m an idiot thx for this

[@WillBilliam]

I can solve this easy, have been able to for years, but I hate it more than almost all of the hanayama puzzles: There is nothing “puzzle” about it, you just jam together the pieces a bunch of times until it comes apart. The solution should be hard, but simple, but the quartet is hard, and super complicated. That is why I hate it.

[@EricBuffington]

It is definitely one of the most challenging puzzles. And it also can get so messed up that it makes it very frustrating to work with.

[@WillBilliam]

Agreed, sorry I got a little bit passionate about this puzzle

Not an easy solution if you continue to move pieces too quickly without pausing with close ups. Also, my puzzle has 2 pieces each marked quartet and one piece Hanayama. So when you refer to the quartet piece and move and rotate 15 times in 10 seconds I don’t know where the heck I’m supposed to be!! LoL.

[@akiramenai4973]

Reassembly is the hardest. Your solution is ridiculous in comparison to this: "Quartet puzzle by Hanayama SOLVED. Easiest solution + 2 different solutions" When I found this one I about crapped myself. In relation to this reassembly it is 1000 Times simpler. Sorry for being a critic but I stumbled onto a reassembly myself so I knew there had to be something just a bit simpler than your solution. It's when I was trying to reassemble it the 2nd time that I decided to look up a few videos.
