The Amazing Steampunk Puzzle Box!!

[@Mr.Puzzle]

You might have noticed there is some confusion with the difficulty rating in this episode. I accidentally cut out the difficulty rating at the end of the video and the graphic moved somewhere in the middle of the video showing the standard value of 3/5. I actually rated it 4/5 before myself.

[@GigsTaggart]

it seems a little off the change the difficulty based on difficulty to design or solver satisfaction with progressive nature. maybe you should make a separate rating. bad or unfair puzzles can be very difficult

i just finished watching a LPL video before this, and was surprised to see this comment! Though now that I think about it, he would get the locks off asap, but he would need to remove the hedgehog before getting the container open, so it might take him a little longer than a couple of minutes. 😛

[@laurigardner6227]

Improvement suggestions: Include a piece of clear plastic or a metal frame for the tengram puzzle. Also, have the tengram puzzle made of steel so you can embed a magnet on the other side of the frame, so the pieces remain in place when moving the puzzle box to stand up.

[@groowanderer]

Very cool puzzle, would love to have it. I agree, needs to have a perfect fitting frame that would go over the correct numbers included, perhaps inside the same place the little pieces came from. Without that I prob never would've guessed to make my own frame for it.

[@onedeadsaint]

have to say that having nothing in the compartment was rather disappointing.

[@BladderProductions]

He should have made it that the correct numbers would face up and the other numbers would face down.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

This was my first idea! 👍

[@froggusan]

i would lockpick the combination lock as LPL taught me tho

[@minigolfkid]

I think that's a fair rating. You could tell the lines were parallel, but not what they were for - and that one line on the top of the frame was such a red herring!

[@BCRBCRBCRBCRBCRBCR]

I really like the idea of a 2D assembly solve needed to generate the lock combination.

[@DomAZ]

It was fun to watch you trying to solve it.

[@JWAM]

Hint not necessary. I saw the marks and saw the frame immediately. I thought that you only had to put the fitting pieces there and skip the rest, or that the other pieces outside of that frame should be upside-down. :)

I really loove the rustic and the rough look of this puzzle ! It's really cool and yea it's pretty difficult but the string or rope part it's quite tricky like it needs some hint .. But yea Great video as always ! Can't wait for the next one

[@mogioeki5849]

Another way that could have improved the number puzzle would be to continue the marks on the bottom of the puzzle, so that it looked more like a frame. That would not require an additional part, but would get the point across that it is the numbers inside the marks that make up the combination.

[@stephencech3696]

Great vid again, thanks Mr Puzzle! Have you ever thought of trying to make your own puzzle? After the countless amount you have done over the years it would be interesting to see what you came up with

[@bassmasta9117]

Nice job mr. puzzle!

[@johnskinner8311]

I watch your channel a lot and I think you are right about supplying a piece of string to form a frame. Maybe this was the reason for the difficulty level.?

[@Telos954x]

Looks more 'Industrial' than 'steampunk'

[@Telos954x]

@Brian Cairns Except this looks more modern industrial "found on a worksite where they were building a Walmart' , not vintage 'airships and steam powered robots' 'Steampunk' industrial. For starters, Steampunk aesthetic tends to lean more towards brass and copper, and tends to have more stylistic flare.

[@sapelesteve]

Nice solve Mr. P! I would think that it's more difficult because the average puzzle solver would not have access to getting the hint that you got. So, perhaps a 4/5 is a more appropriate difficulty rating....

[@Mr.Puzzle]

It is 4/5 as mentioned in the end.

This difficulty level makes no sense if you had to get a hint from the puzzle designer. Although, you could argue that the hint was needed since the puzzle was poorly designed.

[@groowanderer]

That's how I feel. There could have been another clever little puzzle that led to a perfect fitting frame that fit those marks. Then it would've been perfect. It would've went along with the theme of puzzle within a puzzle.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

The puzzle is not poorly designed and I like the idea. Unfortunately, it was mentioned during the discussion we had.

This puzzle is sure very resistant to destruction attacks but it has some inexcusable flaws which makes it really easy to pick, i'll show you why...nothing on one, two is binding, click out of three...and we got open, this is why I consider this a product to avoid, in any case this is all I have for you...

[@mzigliara]

"Click on 1... Nothing on 2..."

[@nicojar]

Mmmmh... "can't think of what's the right combination, have to phone the creator for the solution", "difficulty 3/5, not that hard". I think, dear Mr Puzzle, that you are expecting a certain kind of difficulty over another kind. Actually, I love that there is no magnet, no usual "invisible maze", and the difficulty here is just... reflection. It's a puzzle, literally a jigsaw puzzle, on top of a few other gadgets, and it's a very smart way to conceal the right combination... you just... didn't find it. Didn't think enough. That's the whole purpose of the game: thinking differently, in an unexpected fashion. You're not being intellectually honest if, when beaten by a puzzle, you say it's "not that hard". It definitely gave your ego a good slap behind the head. :) Rehabilitate this puzzle: you didn't beat it, you were given the solution, for a reason you got pissed at it because it's not your kind of puzzle and you got used to a certain kind of puzzles with a certain kind of reflection expected. It's a fair 4/5. That little trick with the lines got you. :)

[@groowanderer]

I see your point, but I'm in agreeance with Mr Puzzle in that a correct fitting frame placed, even obscurely, within the puzzle would've been more appropriate. I think I also would've given it a 4, but it's not our own personal scoring system. It's his.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

I think you juge something you don't know any details. I asked if the tangram is arranged correct. Because the numbers won't open the lock. During the discussion the solution was mentioned. I could have also claimed I found it but why should I. It is how it is. Puzzle was rated 4/5 as mentioned... The graphic was misplaced and contains 3/5 by standard. I hope this helps to clarify some details.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

@Frogbasher you are right. I accidentally removed the difficulty rating in the end and the graphic moved so where I was the middle of the video. I actually rated it 4/5.

That was a very unsatisfying solution. The designer could have put a 1/2/3/4 on the outer frame, or maybe put the number that are unneeded for the solution on the bottom side (and the four numbers needed on the top side).

[@Mr.Puzzle]

I think it's a nice idea. Unfortunately, it was revealed during our discussion. A subtle hint would have been better.

[@PokeMaster22222]

8:24 Couldn't you just brute-force the lock? I mean, there's four 0-9 reels, right, making it 10^4 = 10,000 possible combos? Or, if each number can only be used once, it's 10x9x8x7 = 5040 combos. Shouldn't take all that long.

[@SgtSupaman]

Assuming it takes about 4 seconds to put in a full code and try to open the lock, a worst case scenario would take over five and a half hours of constant attempts (given that you figure out any number will only be used once). So I guess that just depends on what you consider to be "that long" for solving a puzzle.
