[@R2Cv1]

Ok but 25-30 is hand temp ryt? So can you hold your hand over the flame and do it? Also the puzzle looks so incredibly beautiful... especialy the spine of the book!

[@I.am.Sarah.]

I suspect your hand would do it but take very long to work

[@itai82]

How about countries where its 30 degrees out? Its always transparent.?

[@vir042]

@@itai82 If its in the sun it will for sure be transparent, if its in the shade indoors its hopefully not hot enough, but it will be an edge case where it probably might not work as good. Also I have not tried exactly this one but normal plastic of this type only takes 3-4 minutes to heat up with the hand.

[@Qsalis]

I believe if you hug the book for a while or put it with you under a blanket, it should unlock by the way of your body heat.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Completely agree! Thanks!

[@Geckomayhem]

I got it right! Even before seeing the title, I guessed that -Spoiler- temperature would come into it (it was the most unique thing I could think of). And then when I found out what it was called, I felt even more strongly that the solution had to do with heat. What confirmed it for me was your finger changing the colour of the dot. Very nice!

[@necogreendragon]

The clues are there but not obvious. Very well made gorgeous puzzle.

Wow, that is exceptional and outside the box with the cryptic clue with regards to fire = heat. One of the cleverest concepts i have seen.

[@sethusk]

Great video and very cool puzzle. I'm not sure I would ever get it though, because most puzzles are self-contained. Will it turn transparent if you hold your hand on it long enough? If not, the solution is a little to out there unless I had a better hint than the finger print and example. I just wouldn't think I need outside tools.

[@groreistad5234]

Sethusk I agree. I thought that the fact that the black dot turned transparent with your fingerprint was a hint that the surface would do the same if you put your hand on it.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Not sure it the hand would be enough. I think breathing in might work.

[@groreistad5234]

Mr. Puzzle why don’t you try and let us know, we’re dying of curiosity here 😱

[@tjthompson3270]

Well duhh of course it will work, why else would the hint be a finger print if you are not supposed to put your hand on it to reveal the puzzle that way?? It should after all easily be solvable without using an extra (electric) tool right.. Also he said between 25-30 degrees Celcius, the human body is around 37 degrees Celcius from inside, so outside probably is a little colder than that but after a few minutes putting your hand on it flat, it should become perfectly visible I would say! Super cool puzzle BTW, Thnx 4 sharing it!!

[@BaltimoreAndOhioRR]

I dont like the need for some external apparatus/stimulus for any puzzle. Otherwise, many of the ball puzzles could be solved with a magnet. 🧲

[@LeonBelmont1000]

It would have been more interesting if you put your palm to the face of the puzzle and became transparent as a result of the hand heat. I agree though.

[@XiaoYueMao]

you dont need external heat. this material actually works with hand heat. MrPuzzle only used a hair dryer to speed it up so he didnt have to rest his hand for a while to show us

[@LeonBelmont1000]

@@XiaoYueMao It would have been nice to see how long it would take normally though. Who wants to sit around for 5-10 mins with their hand on the puzzle and not engage with it? That seems like an inherent flaw, unless im to believe that the person would be sitting there thinking about it while having their hand on it by chance.

What was the unintended solution you came up with?

[@martinmccall368]

This honestly seems like a good safe with a few adjustments. You could change out the binding and cover for something a bit more realistic and it will blend in with other books, plus even if someone were to find it, they would probably disregard it or even if they knew it held something inside, it would be hard to figure out how to get it open.

[@viniciusc.8735]

That puzzle is awesome, its so creative, so cool

[@GowronSaves]

You didn't disappoint, it is a very good puzzle. I think it could be made better and more fun by using a more intricate labyrinth and maybe if that material because dark faster so it'd force you to finish the labyrinth quicker. However it'd be next to impossible if people didn't know it had to be heated to be seen.

not sure how I feel about this puzzle, usually puzzles shouldn't require tools, right? I mean, yes you *could* heat it just with your hands, but that would require a lot of time and not just "puzzling skills". I do like however the hint with the fingerprint

[@vir042]

It does not take that long to heat with the hand, maybe 3-4 minutes, dryer will clear it all over in like 10-20 seconds though.. I think for a puzzle a few minutes is not that bad.

[@g60force]

perhaps breathing would work?? now i'm actually curious if it can... even if it was just enough to make him realize to speed up progress or being on the right track!

[@H2SO4pyro]

@@g60force yes breathing will work slightly quicker than hand, but the surface is quite large so you'd probably be out of breath before revealing the whole maze. Btw a really hot summer day would definitely reveal it, too bad for the people who oppened their delivery package for the puzzle to be already solved by the weather... xD

Great puzzle, Mr. Puzzle! I’d love to see more videos like this where instead of showing the 5-40mins (condensed to ~10mins) unaltered solve, you walk through the solution as you did here (with hints of red herrings and pitfalls, of course). Then! At the end, You show a very short montage (1min) of your actual on-camera solve with the time clock in the lower corner. In other words, we get the detailed puzzle solve first and then a short blooper reel at the end. Could be a fun format to try out!
