E2 - SOLUTION - Cast Marble by Hanayama

[@Kamunchu]

What you described is exactly what happened to me. Came apart quite quickly and took me ages to get back together. However this was my first puzzle and I look forward to doing more of the hanayama puzzles

[@ania5038]

Same for me lol I just cheated and watched this video to reassemble it because I kept trying to do it with one half upside down

[@Kamunchu]

@@ania5038 glad I am not the only one.

[@pknessbtaylor]

@@ania5038 bro mines been like that for three years

[@jordanlaquey5325]

Took me 30 seconds to take apart and took over a year to look this up.

[@QueVenGuey]

That was my problem 😂 took it apart with ease but putting it back…. My god!

[@nileshpatil3634]

​@@QueVenGueyl❤

[@chrisbellette9181]

Haha yes! I think if it was a bit easier to put back together or more obvious it would be a 4 or a 3. I think the 5 level is because of the putting together part.

[@SSJFACPACIFIST]

Sorry. I’m new to puzzles. This one took me a year to solve... picking it up maybe twice a month. You are absolutely right. If you don’t understand how it comes apart, you will have an extremely hard time putting it back together. I didn’t think to put them side by side... I kept trying to slide the spheres together from the outside in and let the brackets sit in place. I had to watch this video to remember how mine even came apart. And then I instantly knew what to do. Guess I better go back down to a 3.... thank man!

[@manum234]

Just like you I completely forgot how it came apart.. big mistake and unsolvable at that point. So I learned, watch closely how it comes apart :D

[@FrancescoDiRenzo]

Same!

[@segafox]

I got this as a random stocking stuffer for Christmas and solved it pretty fast but, as you said, not understanding how I solved it, I spent way too long trying to shove the two halves back together. The solution is so simple and elegant I'm kicking myself now. Thank you for the solution, it reminded me to think outside of the box; brute force is rarely the answer and I should have realized I was on the wrong track far sooner than I did. Lesson learned!

[@5RustyBin]

what a great piece of engineering - puzzle element is secondary to me, but the concept and design is fab.

[@sethstonerook4888]

HextyVisio

[@chuckguerin8141]

You are right. I accidentally opened it in 30 seconds. Took me an hour to put it back together. Now I know how to fix it if my sinblings tear it apart. Your solutions are for people who have done it But want to be sure to do it again easy. You are a life saver.

[@WrongTimeline]

Easier reassembly: 3:50 - keep them on the table and just slide them into the parallel position across the table before any tipping together. But I’ll admit I needed this video to get started.

[@OnlyStaticAI]

Thank u

[@Mathieu1696]

Nice vid man Im starting to love puzzle solving vids

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Thanks for the feedback, I'll try to deliver more to you!

[@recklessroges]

I loved this puzzle far beyond its difficulty rating. Something about the motion and tactile pleasure makes this my favourite Hanayama puzzle.

[@MarcStjames-rq1dm]

Best Puzzle solving channel love your pace and just the vibe is cool right on!

[@rgbok5453]

2:43 love how you said "thmoosly" instead of "smoothly". you make great videos!

[@heidis.7094]

Thank you! Brilliant demonstration. (As you said - I undid the puzzle very quickly- but spent ages trying to put it back together.).

[@fpvtomi8965]

I have just bought this , it's quite easy, but also beautiful, and it has fascinating moves. I would recommend it.

[@wrenchturner9848]

I'm hooked on these videos. They look awesome. Great work man. Do you plan to have a regular update schedule?

[@Mr.Puzzle]

I release one video every weekend.

[@wrenchturner9848]

Great! I can't wait for more!

[@yASTROZIV]

Make your own puzzles

[@oliverullrich2313]

i have been a subscriber since 2018 and i cant believe i found your second video

[@Mr.Puzzle]

🤣👍

[@keviniori]

Thank you! I had them been separated for literally more than 2 years....I finally assembled them!

[@iamvocabulary]

I'm getting the full set of these puzzles. I used to collect Rubix cubes but now these little gadgets are my new favs.

[@LibertyLensOfficial]

I got it mine apart quite easily, but it kinda fell outta my hands as it separated. took 2 days to get it back together, with your help lol… great vids!

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Thanks!

[@jamesplott8184]

GOLD RUSH NEWS lj

[@simonci5177]

Dificulty level 1 NOT 6. My first idea solving in head, was the solution

[@sapientum8]

Apparently some puzzles could be very easy for some people and extremely difficult for others, and the other way around for others. This is the 1st Hanayama I failed to solve :( and I have solved almost all hanayamas of levels 5 and 6 (except maybe 2 or 3 which are still in progress)

[@tetochato]

GOLD RUSH NEWS got mine apart fast but still can't get it together 4 days later

[@RossDM]

This is surprisingly easy for a level 5/6 puzzle in my opinion.

[@BrianXist]

And I buying this. Was able to figure it out prior to the solution. It's just so nicely made

[@parthsavyasachi9348]

This is the first puzzle i got the solution just by looking. I am happy i am making progress.

[@carpii]

Don't know how I stumbled across your vids, but you encouraged me to buy some hanayama puzzles, and this was my first one. Really lovely piece of engineering, feels so good to just fiddle with it. Personally I found it quite difficult (video makes it look easy, but when you're new to these metal puzzles it took me a while to crack, and then even longer to put it back together). The ball 'sticks' sometimes when you rotate it, so I was convinced there was some internal mechanism going on.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

If you disassemble randomly the assembly is really a challenge. :)

[@carpii]

Hehe yeah, I think that's what happened. It just unfolded in my hands, and then forgot what steps I took Working on Hanayama Equa at the moment. It seems a lot more difficult but Im determined not to watch the spoiler :-)

[@michaelm3052]

I'll use your link to buy this puzzle in a few days. This will be my first puzzle. I like this.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Thanks a lot! Have fun with it!

[@unusualbydefault]

I bought this for my bud as he loves such puzzles. thanks for the video

[@lisajones292]

Thank you for helping me get mine back together I tried 10 to 15 times.I didn’t get it back together until I watched your video so again thank you so much

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Welcome!

[@JAKOB1977]

Been there done that.. solved it fast and was also able to put it back together again and I was even able to take it apart once more... and then the problems arrived and I could simply not for the living daylight put it back together again for the second time , and it was so problematic that I had to cheat and look online for a solution.. Overall, I really like this puzzle.. heavy and wellmade to a point that you wanna challange other with it.. it feels nice in the hand.. I was so fund of it, that I now taken a dive into more of these puzzles as this item was a great ambassador to create an interrests for other puzzles in the same league. Very nice product

[@SuKyu]

Thanks for the video. It is a puzzle that is easy to solve but challenging to put it back.

[@chrisplissken4626]

I am loving this hanayama puzzles they look so good

[@DursunX]

would make a great fidget device... with an actual reward at the end 👍

[@jayk1597]

My first one was level 1 no problems under 3 minutes. My second was this one in the video 6 hours to solve 🤯 . These things are so much fun !!

[@jameshughes7741]

Thank m8 4 the vid u make it look easy 😁😁👍👍

[@MB808AllDay]

Love these videos and honestly feel asleep to this man talking idk why but its calming no homo bro

[@aliceinmadseason2319]

that's pretty neat. thanks for sharing, i really enjoy your vids

[@josemiguelplanton4613]

Wow!!! Incredible with only 4 pieces!!!💖

[@JTGentz]

Accitentally stopping in your channel...awesome vids. Starting to love the puzzle. KeepItUp! 💪🏼👍🏻👋🏻👋🏻

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Nice! I hope you stay!

[@marcusd6759]

The picture on the back of the box gives it away, I wasn't surprised when you did it.

[@drtroyturner7464]

Hi Mr. Puzzle & Guests. I'm a big proponent of cherishing easy puzzles & making them difficult by implementing a 2 minute time limit and or behind the back solving.

[@PavolSojak]

So true about assembly, was having fun looking at others. I think good analogy is to think about screw thread. This one is easy, but beautiful.

[@freefromreligion8090]

as others said, I put it apart Ina few minutes and then struggled unsuccessfully for weeks to put it back together. putting the parts together as in 2:18 in the video it easily comes all together without effort!

[@thehandyman83]

I was trying to put this together like the "noob" would have for more hours than I would care to admit....

[@DIVADIVA8]

Thanks for this video..Took it apart a month ago but couldn't get it together until I saw this...now my hubby and kids are trying to figure out how to break it apart so they can try to put it back together.....lol only I know the magic

[@miss-astronomikal-mcmxcvii]

Yeah, I, too, was thinking that lining up that line with the lines on the cube was the way to go! Not joking! :)

[@crab7252]

Omg, that looks so satisfying

[@OhSoUnicornly]

On the Hanayama website it now says it's rated 4 stars. However I bought one this week and it still says 5 stars on it - guess maybe I got some old stock? 4 stars is still a bit high - I'm not an experienced puzzler (but have watched a number of videos on puzzles), took me 10-15 mins of casual playing around to solve it. Assembly was much more difficult, took closer to half an hour and it's still a bit fiddly.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

+OhSoUnicornly Yes, it seems Hanayama is varying the difficulty level of some puzzles after some time based customer feedback. Good move from my point of view.

[@TurtleOfficial.]

Very good video! You deserves an abo...

[@angelsbum]

I had to watch this to assemble, thanks.

[@ejohnson5635]

started watchin a few days back. New subscriber for you.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Nice! Welcome, and enjoy!

[@MadCowMac47]

Stumbled across this channel, recently. I love it. Can we consider this episode to be the 'Face Reveal' episode?

[@elijahuribe8762]

something funny i noticed is if you go to the link in the description to buy one...the image of it is already in the position to be disassembled.

[@Belbecat]

I feel called out haha... definitely guilty of opening it without understanding then couldn't put it back together so I'm here xD

[@mr.markiethb9342]

Everything he said in this video was the God honest truth. I took it apart with no problem and I knew it had to be aligned back up but I had no idea about the twist rofl!

[@jayelgarza6071]

love your vids man keep making more

[@tommorrissey5037]

Ok, kinda' late to the show here, but after watching your solution I came up with a slight modification to it for people with small hands or lacking dexterity. I start with the pieces setup just like you show in your video, however, instead of picking them up I leave them standing on the table and slide them towards each other. Once they're in position, one behind the other, it's much easier to then slowly twist them together rather than trying to hold each "unit" in your hands. That's really my only complaint with Hanayama puzzles, they're machined so smooth that they can be difficult to reassemble because they're so smooth and slippery. Thanks for the videos and "Keep on Mr. Puzzling" !! :)

[@renanmesquita5186]

Thank you! 🎉

[@henrypowell4240]

Who would have known... cool mr puzzle

[@MazeFrame]

It is a very nice puzzle. The randomness of it falling apart in my hands presenting the internal shape of the marble made it a bit too easy though. I watched this video to confirm I discovered the "correct" way to solve it.

[@notchloeyt769]

This puzzle is very hard. I love Hanayamma puzzles.

[@spiritedandy1]

Thank you someone did disassemble it . Then they gave me it back so i had no idea at all . When i got it back was first time touching it .

[@quinseenum]

You just saved my life! Sucks I had to look this up. But, Thank you!

[@royrice8021]

Always fast forward to 2 minutes on any of these solutions. It takes all of them this long to get down to it!

[@dantonchat71]

In my experience, this should not be a 5 star puzzle, I got it appart and back together for the first time in under 10 minutes. It's a little disappointing, but I must say that it's quite a satisfying object to fidget with. The move is really pleasant to execute so it will get a place of choice on my desk

[@TheBaldr]

Hanayama Puzzles(Huzzles as they are called here) come in different boxes in Asia. (I'm guessing the same is true for each distributor)

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Unfortunately they are release with some delay here in Europe. Next time when I'm in China I will look for some new stuff. I think also in China they should be released earlier than here.

[@salvagebar]

0:58 Puzzle Kitty is angry

[@gron-go]

It took me 10 min to disassemble and 1 month of trying to assemble. Finally, I am here for the solution which never happened to me before... shame on me)

[@razurah1563]

richtig cooles Video ^^

[@Feenix102]

Had to look this up to get it back together. Very cool. :o)

[@JimMcCrossinJr]

Thank you VERY much for this clip.

[@Dylailahma]

love these hanayama ones :D

[@GimmeAweapon]

I got this but I was really disappointed because I just twisted it once and it came apart. You're right though, getting it reassembled is a lot harder

[@jimsmindonline]

Has anyone else noticed the hole in the very middle????? In my instructions it encourages you to look at the inside surfaces of the marble. I've also noticed yours has a larger hole than mine. I wonder what that hole is for? Could it be an unused way to make the puzzle harder, by inserting a ball bearing or pin? Then the correct orientation would also be needed to drop the pin / bearing due to gravity and slide the two parts of the marble apart?

[@feelfreefpv]

Great idea! It's way too easy to be a level 5 puzzle as it is.

[@uzibah4889]

I did notice that and still wonder what the reason for it is. I can't imagine it doesn't serve any purpose, these things are so well made. I think this puzzle is very cool but I don't like how slippery it is to maneuver the marble pieces when they aren't together. It seems almost life a flaw. I couldn't figure out getting it together and lost my patience and looked here for the answer. I like the look of this puzzle very much and the weight of it. I just do not lie the way the 2 halves move way too easily when they are apart. Thanks for the video.. Now I can sleep 😉

[@Ivan_Lomov]

Elegant geometry!!

[@CaMypau]

On of the rare cases when i figured out the solution immediately just by looking at the puzzle.

[@andykelly7321]

Which (novelty) puzzle took you the longest to solve?

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Cast Equa by Hanayama

[@night5653]

I'm still working on the equa I got it apart but can put it back togheter

[@SeanDS89]

this puzzle is cool, but there's no way its lvl 5 difficulty... should be 2 or 3 at most

[@Mr.Puzzle]

I agree, 3 would be more realistic

[@chuckguerin8141]

They dropped it to 4.

[@Keklord_]

Thanks mate.

[@flaredgaming8822]

Great puzzle indee

[@aaronlimebeer1829]

............. wow I feel stupid. I understood what I did with the marble, but didn't pay attention to what I did with the outer box, so I kept trying to put the marble back, but couldn't figure out why the outer box wouldnt fit... yeah bad me not looking at the whole.

[@therethinkables]

U are legit holy and u get holy subcribe

[@Mr.Puzzle]

🙏

[@rippertrain]

THANK YOU

[@Musiqwest]

Yes...4/6..but how long did you have to manage the puzzles symmetry before displaying it!?

[@whykinleong]

is a beautiful puzzle

[@fakenews7266]

Ours has been apart for over 1 year and I just put it back together in 3 seconds, DAMN YOU MAN ( just kidding ) thanks

[@kasmichan]

took me hours to get them back together...never knew that was the solution...the one I found was in a black box and written in hiragana..

[@HobbesDan]

Only just noticed that the solution (or rather the correct placement of frame and marble to untwist it) is on the back of the box.

[@leochristoffersen1318]

You just earn me a £10 thank mate

[@chrismuntean]

OMG it WORKED!! random dude- Duh hes awsome!

[@JohnSmith-sf8yf]

Could be a good one to challenge friends with (or at least my friends who will inevitably try and use brute strength to open it)

[@minionmania6474]

face reveal at 1:40 just look at the marble... you're welcome

[@nberko]

Brilliant!

[@majortom4543]

I feel ashamed i had to look up the solution. You are assuming i took it apart by luck. When i dissasembled it i knew how i did it. I realized i had aligned that cut. The problem came when doing it again linining it up is much more difficult. And then 2 days went by and i forgot i had twisted them off. So then i was completely lost. And i feel ashamed i lost to this puzzle. Because of a technicality. You habe to position the marble pieces in an exact way to be able to put it back together. And that is not entirely fair. A few milimiters and you wont be able to do it even if you are trying the correct method of assembly. I would rate it 4 out of 5 for that. I would give less points. But the puzzle slides so satisfying that it doesnt deserve harsh criticism

[@colo6507]

Guten Tag. Nach ihrem Akzent nehme ich an sie sind deutscher . Tolle Videos die sie da machen . Ich war nie Puzzle fan aber seitdem ich ihre Videos gucke bekomme ich Riesen Lust drauf . Woher beziehen sie ihre Puzzles? Habe Angst auf Betrüger rein zu fallen .

Is it fully metal???

[@B3rry5846]

Me: starts watching this video to solve the one i have Me: starts messing with it in the beginning of the vid Me: solves it before he evens starts explaining it My brain: bruh

[@Diggerless]

Can someone explain why hanayama allowed the left-hand photo on the rear of the packaging to be printed? Also the current iteration has terrible tolerances, has larger gaps and is easier to solve by accident! I know because I purchased my 2nd one a couple of days ago.

[@annie.k.5495]

amazing!!!

[@davidhunt240]

My fingers are too fat to line these up and put them back together. I could see what I needed to do, but lacked the dexterity to do so. I ended up using a small piece of tape to hold the pieces in the right orientation as I put it together, I'd rate it as a tough 3.

[@kierathrift3334]

that was quite easy.
