That was an awesome mechanism, I thought the bolt had a hole and you had to align it so the ball goes through. Lol I was wrong but not afraid to admit it. Anyway have a great day.

[@xxgn]

When Mr. Puzzle solved the Donjon puzzle, a few people people, including myself, commented saying they'd rather not see him solve the Inside3 puzzles. So yes, people do sometimes comment on Mr. Puzzle's videos asking him not to solve puzzles.

[@bioLarzen]

@@xxgn Luckily, they have the option of simply not to watch such videos ;)

[@xxgn]

@@bioLarzen The explicit reason I thought Mr. Puzzle should not cover the Inside3 puzzles was that I thought the resulting video would be boring (and even the puzzle creator admitted that the puzzle made for poor youtube content). Obviously I could just not watch such a video. However, the bigger reason I want Mr. Puzzle to not cover the Inside3 puzzle is that I assume that that Mr. Puzzle will create some other video (which hopefully I'd like more) instead. Even taking it for granted that Mr. Puzzle will solve such Puzzles whether he videos them or not, youtube solves require more effort than recreational solves.

The concept is very galaxy brain to me. I know two main ways to open a water tap: one is turning the faucet (1st movement) and the other is pushing it down and it's not so easy because of the water pressure generally (2nd movement). A very nice metaphor in some way!

I love these puzzles and think they're very creative. I'd love to be able to give one of these puzzles to my son for Christmas. Unfortunately they're so expensive that it is not even close to an option. At the time of this comment the cheapest of the four puzzles is selling for $160 USD. With the water tap being the most expensive at $340 USD. From a consumer feedback perspective, these puzzles would have to drop in price by upwards of 300% before I would even consider these at the max of my budget for a puzzle.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

I totally agree, these puzzles are absolutely overpriced if you consider how they are made.

Interesting design choice to not use springs for the [spoiler] element: seems like the weird resistance from those pads might feel like unnecessary forcing movement, and the self-correcting resistance from springs would feel more like a natural puzzle component?

I'm thinking that the screws are connected to some tabs that raise or lower to either block or allow the ball to move, or maybe the screws have slots or holes drilled to allow the ball to move.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

[@m.h.6470]

I think, one of the major points of this puzzle are the nuts at the end of the bolts. If you just screw the bolts in and out, you think the ball can not pass the bolt, but it could. It is the nuts, that prevent the ball from passing. Once that is clear, it makes it clear, how the ball can pass at the top of the bolt (otherwise there would be no way to pass the bolt and your mind gets stuck...)

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Exactly, that's why it's so clever. It's very simple but only if you understand why

[@AntoniWroblewski78]

I like this puzzle maker. Please do the key puzzle.

[@greyed]

I know in the past you've said people go on about ball bearing vs bearing ball. Here's a way to thing about it, the phrase is describing form and function, in that order. It is bearing that is in the form of a ball. A ball bearing. This ordering can be seen in the rest of tool naming in English. Philips head screwdriver. Ball-peen hammer. Chain saw. Circular Saw. Tape measure. You even provide an example later in the video. Allen wrench. Each of these has the form before the function. When you say bearing ball it sounds like you're reading from a shipping manifest. Bearing, Ball.

[@cheekibreeki904]

You're assuming that "bearing" is a noun. But why? What prevents it from being an adjective? Because if it is, then it *is* a bearing ball. That is, a ball that is bearing a load in a mechanism. A load-bearing ball. A bearing ball. The same logic works on all your examples, too. Especially with "circular saw", where the first word is an obvious adjective. As wacky as this logic may seem, it's orders of magnitude better than having a whole mechanism and a single part of it that both go by the same name, IMO.

[@stevesebzda570]

Greyed - you're absolutely right. You said that perfectly.

[@stevesebzda570]

@@cheekibreeki904 - Are you gonna walk around saying, "Measure Tape" (for "Tape Measure")? That's the one thing I noticed up there (I didn't look at 'em all). But, "Measure Tape" you want to say? Just askin' (I ain't goin' thru the other ones lol).

[@stevesebzda570]

[@stevesebzda570]

Grayed- You're right. Those backwards names I put up there (in my reply above) reads like a shipping manifest lol 😂😂

[@shanejohns7901]

Without knowing the size of the bearing, I thought for certain that the trick was aligning the 2nd bolt's thumb 'wings' a specific direction. I thought that they drilled a small hole through the bolt that would allow the ball bearing to actually physically pass through the stem of the bolt. Clearly their intended solution is far more elegant. And now that I see the size of the bearing, I am pretty sure the bearing is too large (or the bolt diameter is too small) for it to pass through such a hole.

[@groowanderer]

I figured there would be an additional hole in the brass tubing hidden above, that would be a third level of the maze. Where as the brass tube would need to be turned to the correct degree to create the space for the ball to pass through.

[@JRyan2K]

Nice design, tricky. It would have been so pleasing if the ball was colored blue tho, such a missed opportunity.

[@WoLpH]

Not sure what awards NordVPN has won but after the way they handled a serious security leak last year I’ll never use them again. I can’t fault them for the security leak, but how they handled it... that’s not how a company should act.

[@PMX]

Ok, that was clever

[@RyukyuStyle]

5:34 thats a screw... yeah okay lol.

[@martinhansen2315]

If I had made this I would have added a gate to the copper spigot so you would need to set its orientation to release the ball.

[@seyxray]

Before seeing the solution, I have a theory that there is a hole in one of the screws acting as a elevator for the ball bearing

[@g.tucker8682]

Wow, what a great idea!

[@LamanKnight]

I had a sort of idea like that, except that's a more interesting idea than what I thought of. I thought that the screw with a hole in it would be a sort of "gate in front of a tunnel," and you would have to turn the screw to just the right point so that the ball could pass through the hole. Musical brass instruments with valves follow that principle.

[@Thomas-jq2im]

remember, in the world of puzzle designing, screws aren't always screws. Lot's of clever ideas floating around here!

[@anjasteinbauer6957]

[@paulvild]

I can't help but think that the puzzle maker missed one more gate to overcome. Had he put a notch or a hole in the copper 90-degree fitting that would allow the ball to slide through only if it was in the right rotation the puzzle would have had just one more degree of difficulty. The puzzle itself is amazing so I'm not trying to take away from what it is currently just saying he could have added one more gate.

[@Mr.Puzzle]
