Solving 4 Trick Bolts!! - Easy to Challenging!!

[@Rhomeme]

As a machinist I really love these bolt brain teaser puzzles. I have a couple of them. On the subject of simple puzzles I believe it is obvious that there has to be simple ones and complex ones with varying degrees in between. The trick is to make a puzzle that is not a sloppy mess to play with, and is also constructed with excellent craftsmanship and materials that make it nice to look at and handle. The thrill of a great puzzle isn't necessarily that it has to take a long time to solve, or that it is so expert that it is not solvable (aka not fun), but provides that aha moment of understanding the genius of the design that is right in your hands in front of you, especially if it presents as an unexpected surprise.

[@gwallace5403]

To be honest I solved the last bolt at 7:33 when I noticed the head had a seam underneath and 8:03 with that tiny machining ring around it. I knew that head had your tool thanks to all your other puzzles. It's really interesting to be able to pick up these small things after watching so many of your videos :D

[@gilles111]

This kind of easy puzzles aren't bad at all. Lovely to play around for a few minutes. And very nice for introducing new people to this concept of puzzles. I've used some of these kind of puzzles to show friends and colleague's and let them figure out the solution. Some of them went really enthousiast and are doing more difficult puzzles too (and I have a nice group to sit around the table and experience each others puzzles, some beer, some snacks, nice evenings!).

[@michaellwalker8748]

This video’s “Hi!” was extra chipper. Made want to watch this one with a smile.

[@Vladimir-hq1ne]

That left-handed thread one looks like the case when the child could solve that faster than adult ;)

[@princeofrandom6734]

and he will lose the correct way to open a bolt for years :D

[@SgtSupaman]

I'm glad you used the old kind of format with this video. I like much more to see you just explain these interesting puzzles rather than watching you turn a puzzle over and over and over for minute after minute trying to figure it out with a live solve.

[@georgecypher4568]

It is amazing how you can take something as simple as a nut and a bolt and make a decent puzzle out of them . I deal with nuts and bolts all day long so these came as a natural to me . But for someone who does not know the solutions are brilliant. Great puzzle video Mr. Puzzle !

[@tedparkman3111]

I bought the puzzle, second from the left and it's tricky to say the least! If you don't push in and keep tension while turning in the opposite direction, it will tighten right up and you can't do anything. Amazing puzzle! 😊

[@NosyGR]

I love the outro with the little “keep on puzzling” puzzle graphics! Great work Mr. Puzzle! 👍👍👍

[@zmirburger]

whenever i hear "Hi, and welcome to another episode of Mr.Puzzle!", i get a warm excited feeling inside

[@floriansilbernagl5761]

Love your new intros. Definitely improved on them in the last months.

[@wolfie2381]

awe wish we could have seen you solve them the first time. i love watching you figure out a puzzle!

[@superhunk1989]

This video reminds me of my childhood when I played with bolts with percussion caps. When I threw it on the ground it made a super loud popping sound like a firecracker. Great video by the way. Love your solution. I have to say, these puzzles are very interesting (because the puzzles are bolts).

[@woncameron24]

cool puzzles even when on the easy side. Love your videos. keep them coming.

[@TheLastLostContinent]

If the third one is considered a puzzle I might as well just sell a regular screw/bolt as a 1/5 puzzle.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Unfortunately, I turned it in the wrong direction because I didn't want to open it instantly. Fail! :D

[@tommysedin]

I'm designing a sequential discovery trick box for my dad's 70's birthday, these simpler puzzles are really good for inspiration!

[@Mr.Puzzle]

nice!

[@adamabele785]

These puzzles are completely perfect to secure a machine from unauthorized access. You just need to replace some of the ordinary bolts with these ones. People don´t expect a puzzle in such an environment, so they think the bolt was secured and designed not to be opened. You could use it also for a prank.

[@RadDadisRad]

Hahahaha, that’s dumb. An impact gun and box wrench would make short work of this.

[@adamabele785]

@@RadDadisRad It would not prevent against brute force or a serious attempt (and should not, because sometimes it might need some repair even when you are absent), but it would prevent stupid coworkers or technical idiots from fumbling with stuff.

[@KimonFrousios]

A machine that requires bolts this size, requires them for a good reason. Trickbolts are structurally compromised, and not up to the machine's specifications. You'd have to deliberately make a machine with more bolts than it requires to be structurally sound, and then you can put trickbolts in the redundant slots. (As long as they are not like the last one, malicious intent can and will use external tools to undo the allen screw).

[@Maybe-So]

Giving that puzzle to LockPickingLawyer was a great idea!! I love your channel! I would probably never have found you otherwise. I’ve got nieces and nephews that are going to love some of the puzzles I am going to send them thanks to you!

[@scottkoss6121]

High quality intro and great video Mr. Puzzle! Well done

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Thanks!

[@ruygonv23]

Wow the 4th trick bolt, is really awesome!! Good video

[@arquettelr1981]

Mr puzzle is the best!

[@TheElrondo]

What a relief, finaly no guitar video from Namm 😊 Instant thumb up and now: Relaxing with "The Logic Mind" 😆

[@ivansmith654]

On the first if you do it wrong you would cross-thread the nut and bolt something any good mechanic would never want to do! For those that don't know what cross-threading is: Cross-threading is usually caused by the fastener being applied at an angle to the proper position and being forced onto the bolt. The threads of a bolt or nut are designed to engage with the axis of each aligned, which allows the peaks and valleys of the threads to slide across each other. Or Cross threading occurs when the parts come together at an angle. ... The use of fasteners with some sort of protrusion, usually an AC cone threaded point, as a pry bar is used but damages the threads resulting in stripped and damaged threads. The cause and result of this condi- tion is known.

[@imvention5696]

I hate when this happens.. it will become so tight to rotate the nut and some prick just force it to make it worse

[@nobody1841]

So your channel popped up...memories of puzzles from the planetarium came to mind. I really enjoy your channel. What are your favorite puzzles? Would like to see a video on your top 5, top ten kind of thing. I like your live solving vids allot. On these easy puzzles, I think they are cool because sometimes our friends need to win when they are handed a puzzle. Thanks again.

[@paaninileo3068]

You are a genius , man 👏

[@caster269]

Love the new outro. Very fittingly themed.

[@Nub00005]

i like these simple puzzles because you can give them to people like my dad and laugh for awhile when you know the solution

[@misha745]

The last bolt was definitely my favorite. That hidden to was a sneaky but cool addition.

[@midnightmosesuk]

That was nuts.

[@Matt02341]

Love all these. I’ll drop one off at my mechanic’s friend. Just leave it on his workshop table. No instructions no note.

[@brownro214]

Your mechanic friend would immediately get a hex wrench out of his tool box and remove the set screw. Done.

[@DomAZ]

Who knew, puzzle made from bolts and nuts. I like the last one, very clever.

[@NDPuzzles]

epic editing for the intro!

[@dustinsmith8341]

Imagine if they reverse threaded the hidden tool in the last one. 😈

[@Mr.Puzzle]

😂

[@Josiah1221]

Haha, that's actually a great idea. But instead of reverse threading the tool, reverse thread the grub screw that holds the nut on.

Most puzzles become easy puzzles after you solved them once, so another big factor for me is if they are also good display pieces.

[@mopar1465]

Mr. Acetalyne Torch is undefeated in these trick bolt challenges

[@c4garula]

I really enjoyed the b-roll at the beginning, rather than the spoiler break. You're getting better at it, also. The first ones I gotta admit, idk if it was because it was on break or not, but the puzzle have lost most of it's impression because you have said so much about it. Information, materials etc., and now it's left for us to imagine before you say what it is about

[@constanza1648]

Nice puzzles but... Great outro. I love it.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Thanks!

[@MikkoRantalainen]

4:50 I actually think that the locking is based on threads not matching correctly anymore when the end of the bolt is rotated with the nut.

[@mitchcoleman1238]

I think easy puzzles are still good puzzles! They still give your brain a workout!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@WhuDhat]

Easy puzzles are the best because you can share them with those around you

[@timehunter9467]

You’d have to be a bit nutty to make that kind of pun.

[@gabrielapetrie]

Gifts for the construction contractor and intelligence advisor.

[@LSDale]

The last one should be combined with the multiple segmented bolts as in the first 2 examples. The set screw could push in to the gap and when removed, you would still have to rotate the threaded end to remove the nut.

[@AdRn_UK]

As soon as I saw you showing the last puzzle bolt I noticed the dimple in the nut of the bolt that looked like it had an Allen wrench grub screw holding the nut in place so I was automatically trying to find where the tool could be hidden. To me, the first 3 were slightly more difficult than the last puzzle bolt.

[@damianlopez7630]

On the third bolt, the gold one.i never did see a ring. Was it diamond? All I could see was a lock washer was that in the way of the view for seeing the ring.

[@yurdp]

[@benlanciano3524]

[@aechecop]

Cool puzzles. Where did you got the last one (bigger one)?

[@chucksherron]

A light sand or bead blasting on the head of the last bolt would camouflage that ring nicely.

[@sapelesteve]

Nice solving Mr. P but those solutions really looked a little screwy to me............... 😂😂👍👍

[@Darxide23]

Easy puzzles with cool mechanisms are just as good or better than hard puzzles with uninteresting mechanisms.

Easy puzzles I've always felt are very important because they're the gateway to get into the harder stuff. If all of them were challenging four out of five and five out of five then nobody would ever want to venture further into the hobby.

[@SzaroBuryPies]

Third bolt is my favourite :D

[@VincentGroenewold]

I like the last one, the others are more show-pieces I think. I wouldn't call those puzzles.

[@omikronweapon]

one of them was simply "let's hope everybody knows which way a screw turns, so we can fool them". Reverse thread is cool, but if the only trick is that it appéars to be blocked in that direction... that's kinda lame.

[@userwashere]

That's a nice bolt you got there, why don't you use it to detect some anomaly in Chernobyl and find some nice artifacts in the process? (Also good job with the video as usual!)

[@blargo]

First and last bolts are clever. Enough hints to work through and unlikely to stumble on the solution by accident. Third bolt is just dumb. Slots cut in the head for no reason other than to try and distract the solver from the simple solution.

[@Woodland_Adventures]

Before watching him solve the puzzles, I'm going to guess one of them has a reversed thread. Instead of spinning left, you spin right to take the nut off
