Solving the IMPOSSIBLE LOTUS Puzzle!! LEVEL 10!

Today I'm going to attempt to solve this extremely challenging, level 10 Lotus Box puzzle! The object of the Lotus is to find the Lotus Flower.
BUY PUZZLES HERE: bit.ly/2gcfgMe
To do this you need to remove an aluminum circular disc with a rod running through the centre. But if you think you've done the puzzle by then you're very much mistaken.
The Lotus is based on the Yen Puzzle which was invented by Wil back in 1979. That puzzle had a wooden frame with a nail in it that held a Japanese Yen Coin. This new puzzle is beautifully machined from anodised blue aluminum and has additional secrets not found in the original design. Those secrets are where the puzzle gets it's name Lotus Flower and until you understand the reason for the name it can be said you have not solved the puzzle.

Its called a lotus flower because traditionally, you can pick up a lotus flower by its stem and twirl it between two hands (like one of those helicopter toys) and it will fly on its own. You have to unlock the puzzle by turning it upside down and spinning it by the screwed in piece (stem), just as you would a lotus blossom. That is how you unlocked the mechanism the first time if you pay attention closely.

Its called the lotus because the lotus always blooms twice and the second time is prettier than the first. This puzzle has the first "bloom" which is the coin with the hole. And the second "bloom" which is prettier than the first is the second coin.

[@user-Natarito]

Kalvin that sounds right to me man! The only little hitch that I see is, what if you find the Lotus coin first? Then the metaphor wouldn't exactly fit. But I may be just taking it too literally.

[@eugenestein8530]

I think the reason of the name was much more obvious than most of people said below The thing was about “you don’t understand the name until you FINISHED” The first coin supposed to mean that you are done. But because you know from the description about lotus thing you don’t finish and continue till getting lotus coin that means the real ending Really beautiful puzzle and trick

I fought with it for the longest time, then decided to watch this video. The first thing I noticed was the long thin pin that you were using was not part of my collection of pieces. Since I moved from the couch to the table so I could spin it better, I went back to see if i had dropped a piece! Voila! There it was between the cushions in plain view! I was able to solve it after that! So glad I watched the video or I’d still be struggling! Lol

The kanji on the coin reads 日本 (Nihon) which means Japan. Also Japanese coins have round holes (5 Yen and 50 Yen coins) Chinese coins had square holes.

I don't believe that's why its called the Lotus puzzle. They could have put any coin picture in there. I believe that its called the Lotus puzzle because lotus's represent devotion.

[@yukisuzu7496]

As someone who grew up in China, I almost instantly recognized the lotus coin as the 50 cent yuan coin, even though you didn't flip to the side that has a 5 for the camera lol. Very interesting. First unlock gives a Japanese 5 yen coin, then the second gives a 50 cent Chinese coin. I like that.

[@zy420806143]

In case anyone don't know, first coin is Japanese 5 yen, second coin is Chinese 5 jiao (0.5 RMB)

[@pam8806]

Reading through some of the comments and my own research, I'm piecing together some hints shared by other people regarding the "reason" behind the name. Kelsey Megan mentioned twirling it between two hands to make it fly - there are martial art movements called the Lotus Spin where you jump in the air and put your legs in a cross legged position while spinning in the air. I take it to depict the way that the lotus can spin and fly in mid air if you twirl it, hence the spinning action required to solve this puzzle (maybe). Also as a few people have pointed out, the first coin that came out is a Japanese 5 yen. The image on the 5 yen is a rice plant, which is planted in water. The second coin is a chinese 5 jiao, which is something like a 50c coin, and the image on the back of that is of a lotus. After looking for info on the lotus I found that the lotus (also grown in water) grows on a rotation cycle along with rice plants (the 5 yen). The lotus is harvested in July and the rice can then be planted in the same field, forming a rotation and making good use of the field. Perhaps the spinning action also represents the rotation of crops? I'm just making some educated guesses here. Btw awesome puzzle, and new subscriber :)

OML that would be so cool if he decides to make his own puzzle.

[@littlebacchus216]

I'd be curious what the 'treasure' when solved would be. A tiny gold 1st card replica, traditional coin or something we'd never think to find.

[@chimdi]

What a metaphor!!! Don't get distracted by decoy treasure, commit until you get to the real thing. I'm here because of the Tom Holland interview and it was SO COOL to enter into this whole new corner of KZbin!

Have you ever thought to yourself while watching his videos "Come on Chris it's obvious that you have to do this or you have to do that" and then he tries it and it doesn't work. Then you just sit there and think how bad you would be at solving puzzles. Because I do that a lot

Just got mine yesterday and even though I had watched this a long time ago, beyond it having an extra step and using the pins (not how to get them out) I didn’t remember anything, so was able to enjoy solving it for myself. Beautiful puzzle, super fun solution.

@@jayweh LOL that’s okay. I’m sure 90% of the world knows what Harry Potter is, right? “Avada Kedavra” is a spell of the dark arts and one of the three unforgivable curses. When Avada Kedavra is casted successfully on a living being, the curse caused instant and painless death, without a trace of injury, without a trace of violence. It is the same curse that gave Harry a scar and killed his parents. Avada Kedavra is Voldemort’s signature spell.

In case you were curious, the "gold" coin is bright brass plated steel, and is a Chinese 5 Wu Jiao, or half a Yuan. I don't know what the other coin is, but is most likely Chinese in denomination as well. I was hoping it was a solid gold coin, but that is my luck.

[@umopapisdn466]

This video is good but don't let it distract you from the fact that gru is the most powerful person in the world First according to the height of a Minion (which is 3.5 feet on average) Gru is 4 minions tall, which means he is a godly size of 14 feet tall. Second if any of you remember the original Despicable Me, you Know there is a scene when Vector kidnaps the three girls and shoots a series of heat-seeking misses at Gru, he then dodge them all. According to the speed of an average ballistic missile (1900 mph) and the size of the missile according to his ankle size, Gru can perceive and move at such a speed that the missiles only move 9.5 miles per hour, 0.5% of their original speed. Plus after this Gru punches a shark and it is paralyzed meaning its spine is probably shattered, to remind you it would require a force greater than 3,000 newtons to fracture the spine. That’s equal to the impact created by a 500-pound car crashing into a wall at 30 miles per hour. I rest my case.

yes please do.

but how did you know that the minions are 3.5 feet tall?
