R2D2 or Alles Roger? What is your favorite?

[@jnerdsblog]

Definitely agree, R2D2 is neat but Alles Roger feels like the idea taken to its proper conclusion.

[@xxgn]

Alles Roger was *much* better: • Could be solved with mechanical finesse (I refuse to acknowledge the alternative solution). • The solution Mr Puzzle came up with is one which could possibly be determined by visual inspection (especially for the first half). This makes the puzzle a bit more satisfying to watch and also makes the puzzle a bit more fair. • Has two puzzles in one, with the first being a little easier. That's brilliant design! • I suspect R2D2 is designed to be solved by two people. That makes it a poor puzzle to hand to a friend. • Air-based solutions are kind of gross.

[@MrSirCedrick]

I also think the "Alles Roger" was a cool entertaining one, but also simplicity of "R2D2" on executing the same idea but with fewer components was quite admirable nonetheless.

[@MikkoRantalainen]

Alles Roger with the modification that there's no holes to suck or blow. As much as your original solution requires dexterity, I think it should be the only correct solution.

[@BluishGreenPro]

I liked Alles Roger better with the solution you found; that feels more like it should be the true solution.

[@gavinlundquist9925]

[@xuhanshu21]

When I see there are two holes for air and the metal balls need to move in opposite directions, I thought the intended solution requires some teamwork with Mrs. Puzzle.

This is the comment I was looking for. This was my thought - it's called 'r2-d2' as the name implies co-op.

I don't really like how the new R2 is so difficult to execute after knowing the solution. For me, execution should be not reliant on having impeccable timing and motor skills.

[@xxgn]

@@Rina_Redfield As other commenters have pointed out, the intended solution is easy to execute but requires two people. (hence the puzzle's name having 2 in it).

[@nealsonf]

Seems like to me this would be a two-person puzzle strictly because of the name R2D2 (two-people). Seems like if two people are sucking out of the same time the ball will move through very easily

[@markylon]

Puzzle should be called COVID -19

[@prasanttwo281]

You can only go so far before the air inside is thin enough to counteract both of the SUCKS and then nothing will move

[@iiREYteoii]

Actually i liked more your version of solving it, looks like a more simplier and even though the timing is important it's not depending on a weird tilting

[@BlackKnightsCommander]

I would love to see the other two puzzles. R2D2 and Alles Roger were both fantastic to watch you solve.

[@tumunu]

The way I solved this puzzle was to hold it, almost flat but tilted slightly down away from me, and very slightly to the right. So the ball is being held up by the large ball nearest me, the farther one is out of the way. I then inhaled on the near side, but with my finger blocking the far air hole like 95%, this caused a slight delay between the time the nearer large ball moved toward me and the farther one moving to block the small ball. Just enough time for the small ball to skate through, because of the slight tilting, that's what it would do. Love Roger's puzzles! Thanks for making these videos! PS I did the Alles Roger similarly, now I have to try your way!

[@JasonTylerRicci]

I'm just fascinated by the minds behind imagining and creating these puzzles

[@Skyhigh275]

[@benjamincarter6095]

[@IlluminatiBG]

I think your solution with the one with the parallel channel is also clever. I assume the the bigger balls are heavier, thus they need more time to accelerate. So sliding it fast up and down the table does the trick. On sliding up the small ball cannot move up, but the channel is open. On sliding down the small ball accelerate faster, passing the channel before it can be closed. Still, the air gimmick is amazing :)

[@NicholasAarons]

[@longbow6416]

Puzzles like these are awesome! Being a shade tree mechanic, these puzzles sometimes translates into mechanical skill. I thought of old automatic transmissions that would use check-balls (a ball bearing that blocks a passage and only allow one way fluid transfer)

[@Oneofakind123]

This puzzle was an ingenius plot to get Mr Puzzles face on camera.

[@tiagocosta8812]

mr.puzzle: The Steel Ball Paradox jojo fans: The steel ball run

[@agvulpine]

If I'm not mistaken, I think you're holding the R2D2 upside down while sucking air, thereby losing your strength of gravity on both the small ball and second large ball. Plug your finger over the other hole while sucking. Make sure the puzzle is facing to the correct side so gravity is pulling down on all 3 balls. The solution should be a single suction and no jiggling or wiggling at all. A one suck solution. :)

[@mt2r-music]

I like how you solves Alles Roger? just by shaking it real quick instead of using complex physics

[@joshuachristian5443]

As a kid in the 80s, there was a frozen fruit juice snack similar to a popsicle that was the shape of the white ohloid (spelling?). The comercial showed kids attempting to describe the frozen treat without using their hands and of course failing at it.

[@truthsmiles]

I didn’t think of the blowing/sucking air, but I wondered whether the different thermal expansion properties of aluminum and steel might be used? Like, what happens if it’s placed in a freezer? Or warmed in the sun?

[@PontifexPrimus]

An alternative solution to the second one: can you put it vertically on the table, so the narrow ends point up and down; turn it so the trapped ball is in the upper half. Then briefly suck on the channel pointing up: this moves the upper large ball out of the way, the lower large ball should be out of the way because of gravity. This should let the small trapped ball fall down, shouldn't it?

Hold it on its end and spin it perpendicular using centrifugal force to separate the large balls. Looks simple. No blowing necessary. Gravity and centrifugal force is all you need.

[@F_Fetch_]

9sec, I won't wait.

[@c3r3bralm.f]

What if you put the little ball close to the larger balls and give it a spin the centrifugal force should split the larger balls apart and force the little ball past make sure to spin it in the right orientation. Use the channels orientation.

[@penfold7800]

Blow until the top ball moves up, then cover that hole while it's up, then suck down to pull the second ball down and cover that hole. Both balls now held in place by suction. Now, holding both holes closed, tilt the puzzle to get the uncaptured small ball through.

[@Keythecomedian]
