Huge thanks to Oskar! Check out his video and channel. Here is his video out today: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pITNm5Sel7tjask

I would think that you would need to solve all of the "lines" on each section together instead of trying to do a line, as parts of the lines can jump around independently. So solve sections instead of lines. Even trying to talk about how this puzzle works hurts my brain. Good luck.

[@polyhedralparadise8623]

You'll get it Kenneth! You have had the world record for Siamese Cube for 16 years after all! :)

Good luck☺

RedKB hi

[@inFAMOUS2078]

Have you tried using a hammer?

[@redkb]

I was considering it! Ha!

[@redred2108]

Lol

[@isaace436]

Have you tried taking all the stickers off and- wrong puzzle

[@amariiiiiiiiiiiii]

Isaac E have you tried taking the screws off and place each ball bearing in the right place?

[@owenhoffman7858]

Have you tried putting some lube in it?

[@stevenlechtner9417]

Add it to the nemisis series!

[@AyyLmao-nh2zs]

I felt so anxious when you first started scrambling it. If I had something like that I'd probably just want to keep it in the solved state lol.

[@spooky3566]

Me too

[@zynthyx]

Aren't they for playing with... why would you buy it if you aren't gonna use it.

[@SplashCity46]

Maybe try getting the symmetrical one and see if solving that can help you determine how to solve this one

[@redkb]

That is a great idea!

[@joeycubes68]

I think in time you will solve it.

[@Kitslam]

No stretch, this puzzle looks super hard! ;D

[@HandledToaster2]

Well it does stretch..

[@cubix585]

New Nemesis puzzle looks challenging.

[@nagol2602]

Agreed.

[@Aerotactics]

I think you can make algorithms for this puzzle and set 1 channel as the storage channel. But, each piece has it's own 4 channels, and those channels are connected to different channels on the other pieces, and since the puzzle is restricted to certain shapes, we can conclude that if piece 1, channel 1 is connected to piece 2 channel 3, then pieces 4 to 6 must also be in a static configuration to maintain the shape. From what I can see, you can't twist just 1 piece, you MUST twist the whole puzzle.

[@colehealy6580]

RedKB is over here solving all of these complex puzzles and I just solved my first 3x3x3 this morning lol

[@jessewarren655]

l love that you read the comments on your videos and interact with your fans! we need more youtubers like you!!

[@AbramSF]

This puzzle looks insane! I want one.

[@WojtekWawrow]

I would love to see you try one of the symmetrical -abacuses, should be much easier and I would be interested to see how you approach that one!

[@christiankennedy9502]

That puzzle looks soooo hard!

[@iphi27]

A new Nemesis? How exciting 😍🤩

[@maevebaksa]

“Everyone’s favorite puzzle designer” RIP Greg and Nathan...

[@maranto15]

Really cool puzzle! It's so amazing with what the puzzle designers come up!

[@TomorrowNobody]

That looks really tough. Just wanted to know that your video is the one that I learned how to first solve a rubik's cube from. It was super helpful, and I've been a fan of your content since.

[@FourHandStudios]

Wow!! That puzzle looks super hard! Awesome video, and have a nice day RedKB.

[@Necronsdaddy]

I love your vids they always keep me happy

[@arunkp3737]

I am sure you will be able to solve it and win the oskar award ☺

[@DepFromDiscord]

[@Floris1131]

I am so proud to he Dutch these days, since Oskar is being loved everywhere

[@habguy822]

I think you will get this puzzle eventually. You always seem to find puzzles that you can't figure out but eventually when you come back to them you sit down figure out your own algorithms and solve them. It's always very impressive to see!

[@Daniel-dd6sj]

Another great puzzle!!

[@jacobsimpson7829]

I can’t even say the name!😂

[@starblaze5813]

He’s got some fantastic puzzles. Never seen ya so mixed up over one. Kind of refreshing if I aint lying, not like I don’t support you solving them.

[@Zyugo]

I've also seen Oskar's video lately and I really want to see this nemesis puzzle solved.

[@bagduster9381]

I found out the difficulty 1-picture the meaning of life 2-and the definition of 'word' 3-then mush them together with algebraic stuff and you get this apparently Oskar you genius mate

[@dawreckor]

The real puzzle is thinking of a smart comment to write

[@CubeMasterLewis]

I will call it the Redkaybeelabicasicus

[@thegameplayer125]

looks like a future nemesis puzzle

[@sophiasorrells8570]

It’s just amazing 😉 how you solve these things 👏

[@rosebuster]

Hi, mate! I say don't give up! I know you can do it! Great puzzle by Oskar!

[@haarissiddique9246]

Awesome video!

[@AgentBones13]

That looks like torture! And I thought cuboids were! Hope you solve it some time. Good luck!

[@petrescuework-difficultcas6581]

This looks like an absolute nightmare to solve

[@chazwohnoutka2522]

Love the vids 😀

[@rubymcneil5693]

I love this video!

[@jakecarlson3752]

Youre the reason i got into cubing, thank you.

[@spacevspitch4028]

I'm impressed you got as far as you did! Have you revisited the puzzle at all?

[@knower1514]

You taught me the Rubin’s cube in 2014, thank you.

[@kovoCode]

You got this. You’re absolutely amazing and I got into cubing thanks to you.

[@litpiano1239]

Awesome!

[@cpt_nordbart]

Hang in there! You'll eventually get it done.

[@TheNastynelly1]

Very cool!

[@user-yr5yl6zt5l]

really cool

[@adamrelech7579]

How good is the corner cutting on this one

[@astro.nomics]

That is a cuber’s nightmare.

[@joelmanu9780]

This looks like a really fun puzzle!

[@joelmanu9780]

And a hard one too

[@kic0-standoff279]

Or you could use Petrus...

[@redkb]

Of course!!

[@Necronsdaddy]

I hope you can solve it soon

[@MrSoundofmusic]

Could you imagine if it was a gradient in color range?!

[@morgankeziah9509]

wow, I can hardly solve a 3x3 in under a minute.

[@harleythedragon]

Have you solved the "Orb" puzzle? It looks to work a similar way. I believe the key is the sections that have the same number of beads that are the same color in multiple tracks, (ex: 5 blue beads in both outside tracks).

[@cosmicjenny4508]

We need to get you a super rare Astrolabacus, come on, Kenneth.

[@graceyaislin3112]

I love it!

[@huyvuinh6481]

Sometimes I wonder if Oscar can solve his own puzzles

[@cameronpeterson6734]

It's funny how this looks like a child's toy or a toy for babies but it's really an extremely difficult puzzle that not even an experienced cuber can solve lol

[@sinom]

4:45 "To break the cemetery" O.o k don't think that's what you meant to say

[@austinbryan6759]

Welcome to the nemesis collection (;

[@vdel7418]

What a weird puzzle! Wouldn't even know how to even begin solving that

[@raynguyen6195]

I got into cubing because of you, thank you!!

[@austinapkins]

The stradegy is to have oatterns in the inner layer to move the channels easily so you dont scramble it even more whilst doing it ao when you move something from the inner and mess some up you just twist it and move 1 more orb to get it back in place

[@nicholasmcquagge8720]

Really did look hard 😂

[@zapados343]

Reminds me of a puzzle I used to own called 'Hungarian Rings'.

[@TheStacheIsEvil]

does it work to just solve one color tube at a time?

[@malwarepuzzles5653]

Now you know how the creator of the classic Rubik's cube felt

[@rodolfobeguiristain]

Woah looks complicated! Seems like a brain twister.

[@sk8rdman]

What I would do is develop a 2d model of the puzzle to work with it. Make 6 layers of colors, each with 4 slots in them, like the puzzle, with the appropriate number of beads in each slot. Stack the 6 layers on top of each other, and play with the puzzle to figure out how shifting one layer affects each other layer. Make it so slots and beads loop when you move them, and from there try to develop a sorting algorithm to sort the beads into the correct order. Finding a new way to visualize the problem could help a lot. You may start to see patterns you missed before.

[@scorix_]

I think actually a good way to solve is to start with one color and solve all lines and then continue with the colors next to the previous color

[@Necronsdaddy]

Nice!

[@matthewgarza9286]

Hey man good luck

[@robertzarfas9556]

What have you been doing with your 3d printer lately?

[@stevesta9755]

cool!

[@EvanGorczyk]

Man, i would be frustrated right away 😂

[@albertusdenkers5077]

New nemesis puzzle?

[@jamespeterlundberg1504]

Try gathering each color in 1 strand then move them into place.

[@prajwalsastry370]

and any ways i have got my 3x3 average down to 23 but cant seem to get it any lower, do u have any tips

[@marcelvdberg]

Hi Kenneth, i'm afraid that Oskar is just warming up with the *.abacus serie ;-). The guy is a genius and his puzzles are getting harder and harder to solve. Just wait till the 17x17x17 OverTheTopAbacus will be released...

[@amberfroese7525]

Another puzzle for the NEMESIS SERIES!!

[@alexbohlinger9628]

Reminds me of the impossible puzzle from that Gravity Falls episode

[@Mushishushi]

Put this on the Nemesis series!!!!!!

[@olbeans]

Oh it's all gone wrong, RedKB has started putting red arrows on his thumbnails for clickbait

[@trizgo_]

incoming Nemesis video :D

[@sinom]

Released the video the day Oscar made his public xD

[@_kingsley_7]

Can you still get this puzzle

[@user-tf6fr1ek1v]

Cool!!!

[@Vulsonik]

It always hurts for me when I get pinched and stuff like that too

[@F3rrut]

Where do i get a pyraminx duo?

[@PH09262]

It's ok. It looks super challenging

[@DialektLp]

I'd say find a home channel orientation and try to come up with one commutator by doing the most logical moves then conjugate it

[@Proxoa]

Maybe trying to put all the same colors in 1 track in a row and shifting them afterwards could work?

[@KhaosGamer]
