The Retro-Style Ansel Puzzle - Solved!!

[@PuzzledWolf]

Glad you enjoyed it! It’s very fun to see the thought process. And your drawing is very close, so well done!

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Thanks a lot! Great design and puzzle!

[@CatSlinky]

I got your Ansel puzzle after solving the wil’s lotus box. I was worried about a follow up. Your puzzle did not disappoint. Looking forward to you and Sara’s next creation.

[@Dargonhuman]

So I have to ask, was that last line on the instruction card inspired by Mr.Puzzle overpuzzling that one time?

[@ZX81v2]

Love the puzzle, great seeing proper wood being used

[@PuzzledWolf]

Dargonhuman it was not :) there’s a spring pushing against the one bolt that can make it annoying to put the bolt back once removed.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

As I learned now the real mechanism comes very close and can be solved as I assumed.

[@EricPetersen2922]

Of course! You figure out all these puzzles. Or have X-ray glasses for some help!! J/K 😀

[@EricPetersen2922]

Useless fact of the day: I grew up 175kms from Yosemite where Ansel Adams took most of his pics-the famous ones anyways. It’s a amazing place. Fun puzzle, I really like this type of puzzle

[@Mr.Puzzle]

I visited Yosemite and sequoia some years ago. Insane experience.

[@EricPetersen2922]

Mr.Puzzle it’s an amazing place. I haven’t been there in years yet I’m a 5-6 hour drive away. When I was growing up I went there and surrounding area many many times in 70’s-80’s camping. Hope you enjoyed it!

[@beatsandpiecesyt]

Congrats to Puzzle Wolf for his first puzzle! Amazing job :) I loved solving this puzzle as well :D

[@DomAZ]

Super cool little puzzle.

[@ThomasSanjurjo]

That intro style. That is the one to go with. Very sleek

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Thanks!

[@derekvirley6708]

Watch all your videos love how you do diagrams on alot of your puzzles to show mechanisms.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Thanks!

[@derekvirley6708]

Cant wait for more puzzles to come Mr. PUZZLE

[@Samalanderable]

My father learned from Ansel Adams about photography. I still remember the black and white photos he took. Nice to see a puzzle in homage of Ansel Adams. I hope more people see his amazing photographs.

[@mastervidz2516]

So glad to see your camera work had stepped up alot. So has your English i do enjoy listening to you explain each puzzle..

Thanks Mr Puzzle, pleasure as always.

Your intros are becoming a thing in their own right . Very creative . 👏👍

[@scubaguy5389]

good intro. getting better and better.

[@drmlabs]

Loved the intro

[@chadallen7914]

I wonder why your views on these videos has drastically dropped recently 🤔 . Your content is always amazing

[@EleanorPeterson]

It must be very gratifying for a designer to see Mr Puzzle think his way through to a solution rather than watching someone behaving like a toddler having a temper tantrum and just banging things on the table till something breaks. Some people treat Life the same way, you know... ;-)

[@mkilptrick]

I seem to have held my breath the whole time. So glad you solved it.

[@thepuzzlingcornerbypuzzlei6231]

That is a cool puzzle beautiful and sleek a must for my collection keep puzzling

[@maur1cius]

Great video 👍

[@wallhagens2001]

I like how you howled like a puzzle wolf when you solved it. 😉

“Ball bearing” is a compound noun. It is a single word. Plural ball bearings. In the puzzle context you could also call them bbs (bee bees) even though they are not necessarily bb-sized nor intended to be shot.

[@wbfaulk]

The question is whether "ball bearing" can only be used to refer to the whole bearing mechanism, or if it can also refer to the individual metal spheres. The dictionary says it can be used for both things: www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ball%20bearing

[@pbp6741]

wbfaulk Generally, specified as loose ball bearings or as steel balls, nylon balls, etc. Or again, when context is clear, BBs.

[@ezion67]

@@pbp6741 You get one guess what BBs is shorthand for. LOL Technically you're kind of right, but almost everyone miscalls bearing-balls as ball-bearings.

[@jimhood1202]

@@ezion67 I agree. It should be bearing balls but conventions says the opposite. Then we have ball race for assembled bearing etc, etc. The finer points can be discussed by engineers and mechanics but the general public is happy with short hand

[@pbp6741]

ezion67 Figure I already answered that one when I said, “... not necessarily bb-sized nor intended to be SHOT.”

[@markswishereatsstuff2500]

Would have liked it taken apart to see the innards, if it was how you visualized it.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

As I said, I tried but the layers are glued. The picture I made comes very close thought. Only the channel through I've drawn is ending inside the slider.

[@randomcubing7106]

Now I leave Chris Ramsay and watch your puzzle solving because you find the solution by investigating, not just guessing

[@TinyDiodes]

Please consider dropping the intro music by 6-10db. Love the channel!

[@gailthomson3873]

Love watching your vids you explane how they work which is what I want to know it's half the fun solving the puzzle and the other half is knowing how they work

[@TamiTimber]

"A nice custom sticker"... 😂

[@americanboyY1]

Was that last song name?

[@superhunk1989]

The puzzle looks amazing and solid. I was very surprised that the puzzle was not easily solved. Really enjoy watching you solving this pretty difficult puzzle. Also, love your drawing.

[@dragonmaid1360]

What a fun idea. I like this a lot.

[@justjeff386]

Where has Mr Puzzle gone?

[@CatSlinky]

I just solved this a few hours ago. Great little puzzle. Really looking forward to Brandon’s next puzzle.

[@muskyoxes]

Good thing i was already not good at these before finding out you have to know how to draw

[@mikekeirsbilck3199]

Are you ok? Getting slightly worried not having heard anything from you in over 2 weeks. Please stay safe!

[@reemkojok7194]

I've been watching you for a long time and i'm never not amazed by your analytic thinking !! Wow so smart

[@jimharris4013]

good one

[@nathancasebeer4005]

Dear Mr. Puzzle, I'm looking for a toy that I thought I saw briefly featured in one of your videos. It was metal, It had gears that turned into themselves. It looked impossible. I think it was bolt shaped and 4 inches long. I cant seem to find it. Thanks for your reviews

[@Paulkjoss]

Your intros are very well done Mr Puzzle - but I have to confess I do skip them now to get straight to the puzzle, sorry!

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Ahhh, the intro is only 25 seconds. 😁

[@anselwoods7758]

wait was this puzzle named after me?!!

[@avisian8063]

Is there a main online community for puzzles like this? A subreddit, discord, website, forum, or something? Cos every time I find out any of these puzzles exist they are sold out. Even if I wanted to I couldn't get any of them.

Hey Mr.puzzle, is a follow up on the impossible planet puzzle coming soon?

[@Markus__B]

Awesome Idea to name a Camera Themed puzzle "Ansel". Something for the young folks to google and be astonished.

[@PsychoKern]

We seriously need someone to make a real life Yugi's Millenium Puzzle fully made out of metal...

[@creageous]

That thing took you an hour to solve and you gave it a 4? How about 4.8 or something?

[@detourne]

Very cool how the solved puzzle resembles a camera.

[@FJOC2323]

I think the difficulty level you gave it was a little high, but you were the one who solved it so I must trust you 😂

[@RabbitsInBlack]

Silly man. Cameras have a flash and that view finder below so that's how it would work.

[@sjefhendrickx2257]

Smartass!

[@Iwoodlikethat]

Definitely read Ansel incorrectly...

[@joescarborough1]

Anyone who calls a single ball (steel, plastic or glass) a ball bearing doesn't know what they are talking about. A ball bearing is an assembly that uses several "bearing balls" captured between an inner race and an outer race. Not all metal balls are suitable for use in bearings so it is probably best to just call them balls and eliminate the bearing ball/ball bearing debate.

[@sjefhendrickx2257]

Smartass!

[@maisiesummers42]

I would think that if you don't want the nuts and bolts undone, you'd glue them.
