I solved a mysterious One-of-a-Kind Puzzle!

[@P243.x]

Thank you, Mr. Puzzle for taking the time to make a review of my first self-designed puzzle. I take the point that it was solved a bit too much by the help of Mr. Random for the taste of some viewers. The main idea was to bring the element of timing to a puzzle and create an object with a high build quality and extraordinary aesthetics. Next time, I will consider the balance of mystery, solvability and aesthetics differently thanks to your feedback here!

[@ariseira_]

Very creative puzzle I enjoyed it!

[@aphotic_soul]

I love the idea of adding time to the solution! If this was only your first puzzle, you are going to be an amazing puzzlemaker!

[@P243.x]

@@aphotic_soul Oh, thank you so much! I have one or two other ideas of unconventional dimensions in mind. As my day job allows, I will follow up on them…

[@johncage5368]

Interesting idea using that liquid as a rather long running silent timer. Timing is very underutilized in most puzzles.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Yes!

[@P243.x]

In fact, that was one of the main ideas when designing this puzzle. The other was to have a nice piece to put on the desk with a little trick to it.

[@raymitchell9736]

It's a cool puzzle I like the way it looks with the brass and the clear resin or glass... It's 100% interesting to look at as a puzzle, and I wondered what the heck was under then neoprene cover! I suspect that if you make it completely out of metal we'd never know and it would have been a mess if it were opened... so that too was a brilliant move by the puzzle maker. Congrats on a super cool design!

[@P243.x]

Thank you so much! By the way, the liquid is rice syrup with some food coloring. The tube is glued to the end parts to seal it up completely.

[@raymitchell9736]

@@P243.x Oh wow, that's inventive and non-toxic too!

Puzzle has 4 rules, Mr. Puzzle breaks 3 of them😂 🎉🎉

Only a 2/5. Yet still a beautiful puzzle. Elegant mechanism (from a design/engineering viewpoint). It could be useful and fun for teaching a 5 year old about viscosity, buoyancy and magnetism.

[@P243.x]

That’s actually a very nice thought. Just don’t leave the kids alone with it considering the sharp corners and small metallic parts. The buoyancy part I don’t quite get. The bubble of air (if that’s what you mean) I could not avoid when assembling and it doesn’t do anything.

[@bat2293]

@@P243.x The fact that the steel ball sinks, and the air bubble struggles upward through a viscous medium demonstrates the first two phenomenon nicely. Of course, adult supervision of a 5 year old is always a good idea :)

[@pepperonipizza8200]

I’ve seen this kind of puzzle before with an hourglass instead. It’s a cheap trick, but always gets a chuckle out of me.

[@beniborukhov9436]

Glad to be able to watch this week's video in full. (I ordered last week's puzzle so it's not for a bad reason).

[@joeloud1]

Thanks for the spoiler warning. I stopped the video there, because I’m holding out to solve this one-of-kind puzzle myself…

[@jblesser]

Truly innovative and brilliant idea, and extraordinary quality and manufacturing, but the puzzle solution seems somewhat random, and the difficulty is by no means commensurate with the quality of the manufactured device.

[@P243.x]

Thank you! It is my very first puzzle I designed, with the idea of timing, extraordinary aesthetics and a nice build quality in mind. But I take your point! I believe finding the right balance of difficulty, mystery and solvability is the hardest part in puzzle design. And of course all the small things like manufacturability, reliability etc.

[@jblesser]

@@P243.x well, you certainly have the talent, imagination, and insight to implement something truly special

[@vsm1456]

this ouzzle has very interesting industrial and sci-fi vibes

[@aqlcaramsm3907]

Great video! Very good to see you around

[@Mr.Puzzle]

👍

[@Typical.Anomaly]

It kind of looks like the tubes of Plutonium containers that Doc Brown "gets" in Back To The Future

[@yurdp]

Commented to say this too!

[@P243.x]

I was thinking more of a Dan Brown novel, but yes, you definitely got the point!

[@outlawbillionairez9780]

I probably would have failed at taking it out of the packaging.🥺

[@Mr.Puzzle]

😁

[@_pixelslayer_221]

Thats a very stylish and well designed puzzle

[@dragonmaid1360]

I love it a puzel plus a beautiful piece to showcase

[@mikej4532]

if you get the chance ,have a go at The Box of The Celts.

[@timliebrockpuzzles]

I just solved that one. Was a ton of fun!

[@Mr.Puzzle]

I don't have this one.

[@timliebrockpuzzles]

@@Mr.Puzzle definitely buy it, you won't regret it. It's multiple types of puzzles in one. It has SD, packing, maze, and disentanglement.

[@mikej4532]

@@timliebrockpuzzles Good to see you do a video.The disentangle shots might be tricky to do !

[@timliebrockpuzzles]

@@mikej4532 I completed it in about 3 hours, now I have the arduous task of editing it.

[@DomPuzzles]

Very cool puzzle on the easy side.

[@peteyandjaydee]

whats the purpose of the acrylic tube?

[@P243.x]

It just contains the liquid. From an assembly point of view, it has to have thick outer walls, which also serve the purpose of not allowing to bypass the timer with the magnet of the first conical tip (because the distance is too large).

[@peteyandjaydee]

@@P243.x I meant the one being held in with the o-ring

[@P243.x]

Ah! The tube held in with the o-ring is to allow fine tuning the distance in which the o-ring is held in place, so that the pressure is just right. I have to admit, these parts should not be there in the first place, if the lid would not have ended up so much heavier than I expected it to. The magnet should do the trick.

[@du8305]

Is this puzzle available somewhere ? The link leads to instagram page of a photographer, is that correct ?

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Yes, that is correct

[@Sarah-kz3uf]

Amazing! :)

[@SuperBeanson]

I don't understand how it works; would have appreciated a clearer explanation

[@ZTenski]

There are 2 lids. The first lid simply needs to slide to the side to remove it. There is a magnet in this lid that holds a ball bearing at one side of a tube of very thick liquid. So when you remove the cap, the ball can (very slowly) move up and down the tube. Once the first cap was removed, the ball is allowed to settle to the bottom of the tube, which would have been impossible before removing the first cap. Once it settles, there is another magnet in the other cap which is pulled towards the ball bearing. This releases the mechanism for the second cap.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Exactly 👍

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

Can't say I've seen the exact thing before, but I can't really say I'm a huge fan of it either.. at least it looks nice

[@siriosstar4789]

to solve the puzzle , detach the two ends . rules - NO- shaking rolling twisting feeling looking using logic or intuition . However , luck IS allowed. Good luck

This in fact makes sense, as I’ll give it to some of my friends to enjoy.

[@jmg999]

It seems that it more or less fell apart rather than it was solved.

[@yurdp]

Accidental solve.

[@smokeandkippers]

Too random. I’d be really upset if I’d paid for that.

[@DysfunctionalBubble]

You peeked!

[@BluishGreenPro]

A lot of effort in the manufacturing for a pretty simple trick; a little disappointing to be honest

[@MrHunt-jo1ek]

Im come back, its been long time 😅

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Welcome back!

[@timliebrockpuzzles]

Solid mechanism but seems too random. There's no way to logically solve it.

[@Acclaim93]

Puzzles don’t need to be logical. Plus, it’s only illogical until you know how it works. Then it’s completely logical.

[@timliebrockpuzzles]

@@Acclaim93 a good puzzle should have a solution that is discernable with the information at hand. This puzzle can only be solved by chance, as we saw in the video.

[@TheLinkoln18]

No it can be solved by factoring time and space..

[@timliebrockpuzzles]

@@TheLinkoln18 it can't be solved with the limited information on hand.

Got to say that puzzle seems pretty lame.

[@palantir135]

You didn’t read the letter correctly I think. It said to remove both conical ends from the puzzle, then solve it and then remove the neoprene cover. After that reassemble.

I have to say that I always followed your channel, but recently I’ve lost some interest, due to the excessive amount of time you are spending, promoting other commercial platforms. I’m here for you, not for even more commercials.
