High Quality Japanese Troll Puzzles

[@KaneYork]

The first puzzle is so well designed, there's a second place you can put the answer without rotating and it still makes sense (top row half block offset)

[@Gekoloudios]

I only saw this solution lol

[@WYXkk]

I think that makes lines overlap and is not valid

[@lordthor5951]

@@WYXkk rules say nothing about overlapping lines.

[@rockninja3]

The rules only say you can move one ladder, it does not say how many times you can move it. ergo, pick up a ladder, climb it to the next floor, pick it up (you can pull it up from below you), set it down, climb it, repeat.

[@fractalgem]

@@rockninja3Your solution is similar to what I thought of, wherin you move the ladder while you are still on it.

In the original Japanese version, the "not" is this character 不 and as you can see it's entirely made up by lines

[@Thomas14717]

Technically the “not” is made of lines too.

The "fruit" thing is just a quirk of the translation. In Japanese when you want to say "5 of something" then the different types of something's have different "counters" after them. For bananas it's 本 which is the counter for any long object. They probably just tried to translate counters forgetting that English doesn't have them so they made it a bit weird by using "fruit" as the counter in English

[@zihaoooi787]

yeah it's something that is very hard to translate into english without making it weird in my language we have that too :>

[@DeathnoteBB]

I just assumed fruit meant bananas, as bananas are a fruit 🤷

[@lunyxappocalypse7071]

why don't they use tallys/roman numerals, then?

[@DeathnoteBB]

9:58 This is best described in 3 words thanks to Baba Is You: KATAKANA IS TELE

[@mathematicskid]

no because tele does crossteleportation

[@_-_-Sipita-_-_]

tetris shape is tele

[@AaronAcademyOfficial]

Since "tele" is short for teleport, can't Kata be short for Katakana KATA IS TELE

[@iantaakalla8180]

I thought the switch puzzle was solved by sneaking around a skull, pressing the last button, and then claiming victory because you never went through a skull.

The only issue with Troll logic, is that there are 3 or 4 other equally valid tricks. I.e. for the Switch maze, you could have assumed there was a tiny black circle in the start arrow, meaning all the barriers could dissappear.

[@Erhannis]

Right - give a troll puzzle, get troll solutions

[@iantaakalla8180]

I thought the Switch puzzle solution was that the skull blocking the intended path was not forming a dead end with the walls, so you can sneak by the skull by drawing around it, since you are not going through the skull. It’s even more a troll answer given the puzzle’s premise is not actually interacted with.

[@carpyet9507]

These short puzzles are so fun to watch because they are easy to follow along with. Please do more!!

The last puzzle i thought would include the G in the instructions that you could get to and either win or teleport to the end from it.

[@Hoothouse]

I am so proud of myself of figuring out the solution to the teleport maze before he did

[@sighmon5640]

[@hAboyd]

Alternatively for the Ladder Puzzle, you can get the ladder in the rules box and use that.

I saw another path in funny kana puzzle, which i think is far less intended. Basicaly you go to カ that teleports you to 動 in rules, from where you go to 同 and use square as teleport to the end of the maze.

[@sangchoo1201]

that's invalid because they are not gatakana symbols

[@PlatonicPluto]

My solution for the maze was you teleport from S at the start and go into the rules, going to the G in the rules, and then teleporting to the goal.

[@IcelyPuzzles]

because S is a katakana and not an english letter

[@PlatonicPluto]

[@fractalgem]

I expected yhe first puzzle to be solved by moving a ladder while you were on it.

[@vumixe]

My solution for switch maze requires you to count the skulls as switches, since the puzzle does not specifically state they can't be both. You have to go on the skull, then step off in the direction you came from and just go around all the skulls straight to the exit.

[@Theonewithaplanz]

That second puzzle is some Baba Is You SHlT right there.

[@animeonfire1790]

For the teleport maze (テレポート迷路) I thought you'd need to enter first ア, then タ, and lastly ナ. And since サ contains ナ in a sense, one could teleport from ナ to タ, therefore solving the maze.

[@cmyk8964]

The final maze was quite a トロ-ll

[@Random_guy_go_shhh]

Inside the box on the last puzzle use the S and connect it to G😂

[@yeetuszilla1663]

For the last one, I thought since it's all based on the same symbols, why can't you just teleport from the start S, to the instructions, then teleport with the G directly to the end

[@IcelyPuzzles]

S and G are not katakana symbols.

[@AangBoi15]

One of the Tetris pieces looks like a re. That could maybe also work

[@edward9487]

I mean, trolls exist everywhere. Just so happens...

[@IRules2244]

I do believe I found an alternate solution to the last puzzle, and it involves 0 teleports.

[@DavidJacobs-l3v]

I found an alternate solution to puzzle 4. Just start at the S in the rules and go from there to the G in the rules.

[@metallabx407]

S and G are not katakana, we can only teleport with katakana

[@macdoodleer]

Not gonna lie, for the first one I assumed that since we were allowed one normal ladder, we were allowed infinite movements of broken ladders. bit dumb now that i see your solution

[@chao3948]

11:14 i wonder how many people got that reference

[@GoldenMysticat._]

Wow you stopped the suprised dubble aploads

[@And-So-On]

8:43 it was probably obvious when you zoomed in to show the answer.

[@purplenickname]

Well the first puzzle has two extra different solutions: 1) It never spcifies that you can't be on the ladder that you are moving 2) It never specified that you can move it only once You could argue that these are cheaty because it's "taking the rules too literally" but the solution shown in the video is even worse as what was moved is not a even ladder in the first place. Still, a very fun puzzle with cool solutions

For puzzle 3 I ended up drawing a long horizontal line between the 4 and 2 bananas at the bottom, with the second line extending to the right of the starting location which would also result in 10 total (1+2+1+4+2)

Fourth solution: draw around the skulls. You are not touching the skulls, so you are not going through the skulls. This is basically like sneaking around the skulls.

I had another solution to the Banana puzzle. Start with a long line from the third tree to the fifth. Then add a line between the 2 and 3 bananas. The monkey will fist go from the 3rd to the 5th. Then it will go from the 5th to the 2nd, collecting 3 bananas and then 2 bananas. Then it will go from the 2nd to the 1st collecting a single banana, and end up at the +4 bananas. The other solution may not work in the original Japanese, if they used kanji for numbers.
