This happens when a binary sequence is converted into a mechanical puzzle!

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Every tried an n-ary puzzle yourself?

[@Rhomeme]

No, never. Unless you would consider the Tucker Jones Patience Tavern Puzzle one. Otherwise the first time I ever saw one was you solving one here I think it was the Void Lock. How many have you solved? I was looking back through all the videos, but I seemed to only find two or three.

[@JohnnyDee62]

Not a huge fan of n-ary puzzles, actually. Far too repetitive for me! I do have a bunch in my collection, though, and the 5 L Bin puzzle is top notch--fun to play with on a regular basis as a fidget toy and quick solve. 👍💯🙏‼

[@downtimefun]

a super cubi is waiting for me on the shelf!

[@massimopiras2974]

yes, n-ary puzzles are fantastic and i found them easy to solve once you record the sequence. I have few n-ary puzzles in my collection, probably my favorite type.

[@EaglePicking]

I have designed a few burr puzzles roughly based on this principle. A good example is "Fermium" (search for "Fermium burr puzzle") The logic is simple: to have a high amount of moves, use the moves of "The towers of Hanoi". Designing a burr, I could not follow that completely, but I tried :) If you're interested in this puzzle or any others on the wiki by me, contact me.

[@markgearing]

If you know what Gray codes are then solving puzzles like this is about as interesting as counting to 64, but you really have to appreciate the mechanics of this one. That’s a beautiful design.

Gray codes were the first thing that came to my mind. I have one particular sequence of Gray code bit flips memorized because I used it in World of Warcraft's previous expansion to open certain locked chests. They had 4 levers in front of them set in random positions with another set of random positions that would unlock the chest. I always flipped the levers in the sequence: 1, 2, 3, 4; 1, 2, 3; 2; 1, 2, 3, 4; 1, 2, 3.

[@elmadicine]

I feel like it would be veeeery satisfying to watch/hear someone who was very familiar with this quickly solving and unsolving it

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Yes, definitely not possible during a first timer. However I will try to provide that as short.

[@zzstoner]

The book you showed at the start was amazing. I kept thinking how difficult it is to even come up with the patterns in the first place. Amazing talent.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Yes definitely. I cannot even imagine what is the result before using the mask.

[@dalis994]

It looks fantastic. RIP Eric, what a genius!

[@Rhomeme]

What a beautiful puzzle. Such a satisfying appearance and also the solidly smooth movement of the precision machined parts. Simply excellent craftsmanship. I do not own or have ever tried this type of puzzle. If I do get one I would like it to be this one. Cubicdissection has such awesome puzzles. Best wishes for all you puzzlers in the coming new year. Make it an enjoyable one and do what Mr. Puzzle always tells us... "keep on puzzling".

[@JohnnyDee62]

I also have this puzzle and was "playing along" during your solve! 😎 The 5 L Bin puzzle is excellent, and well crafted. I love clacking the pieces around! Keep up the great videos, thanks! 😁😊

[@darrennew8211]

Looks like a Towers of Hanoi puzzle in a different shape.

[@ChristianBehnke]

These sequence puzzles were the first type I had a love/hate relationship with, only because I had one that required 30 steps in each direction and had 5 levels to achieve, basically making it 300 steps total. So annoying, especially when you make one tiny mistake and wind up going the wrong direction.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

I know what you are talking about

[@curtishoffmann6956]

There used to be a plastic puzzle in a cylinder shape with 10-12 sliders that followed the Gray-binary code system. I spent a LOT of time playing with it, but that was back in the 80's.

[@GregoryC21]

I believe it had 8 sliders and was called the Brain. It was made by MagNif. Thinkfun had a similar binary puzzle called Spin-Out.

[@curtishoffmann6956]

@@GregoryC21 You're right, my brain was off. I'd link to an image of it, but I think youtube's algorithm would auto-block my post.

[@khzhak]

@@GregoryC21 I had a spinout when I was a kid. I used to love solving it, putting it back in, and then reverse solving it to get it as far from solved as I could, just the last one turned. the added challenge of going from reverse solved fully to removable would take me maybe five minutes.

[@GCCG76]

Great 2022 and can’t wait to see what you’ve got stored for us in 2023! Happy new year and best of all wishes is health!

[@Mr.Puzzle]

😁🙌

[@cara9648]

That's a really nice looking puzzle! It looks like it could be good for us who fidget with our hands when we're nervous to have something to do with our hands.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Absolutely!

[@ThankYouESM]

I believe the newest craze of puzzles is what I call "Invisible Balance Puzzles" whereas (almost) each part of each puzzle has an unmarked weight, especially with elements that prevent some of the weights to be in various positions. To determine if the weights are balanced is shown when placed properly in its balance base.

[@TallDarknGruesome]

So it’s basically a post modern tower of Hanoi progression type puzzle but contained in a single slider box. Very nice looking.

Thanks, same to you! 🎆

This puzzle is cleverly made.

Nice puzzle. It's like counting in binary.

Happy New Year Mr. Puzzle! I hope u and your family have the best year this year! 💜

[@malcolmanderson6735]

In the mid to late 70s a friend had a binary toy like this but it looked completely different. It was cylindrical with 8 levers sticking out of the top and it was made of 8 clear plastic disks. The levers had 2 positions, in the center of the cylinder, and on the outside of the cylinder. The goal was to get them all out, and then all back in. As someone said below, it was basically like counting to 64, but it was kind of cool. Just wish I could find one now 45 is years later. Do you have a clue as to what I'm describing?

[@ThankYouESM]

I have a feeling that somebody will finally build a giant Moire Clock of micro rotations and will be of maybe even 3 sheets of patterned glass whereas no pattern as animated will be the same until after 365 days.

[@marsufromage5086]

reminds me of hanoi towers

[@XCanG]

I wish it was 1-2 more layers as each layer increase exponentially by how many movements you solve it.

[@BluishGreenPro]

I’d agree in calling this a toy rather than a puzzle; once you figure out the initial sequence, it becomes a lot of repetition, which is fine, just not something I’m personally interested in

[@chaos.corner]

There's a puzzle called the "nine ring puzzle" which is a binary puzzle. Tower of Hanoi is also similar (possibly trinary?)

[@coturbhuj]

Happy New Year.

I'm skipping the solution as I have just ordered it. Again, Eric Fuller was a genius puzzle maker, RIP

[@richardlincoln886]

+1 same here - Mondrian's mess looks fantastic too

[@EaglePicking]

Did Eric Fuller die? Oh. Not that I ever met him but he made a few of my puzzles so I kinda knew him that way. Too bad indeed.

@@EaglePicking Unfortunately yes :-( I was trying to insert the CubicDissection web page "In Memoriam - Eric Fuller" in the comment here. But due to some stupid algorithm the comment got repeatedly automatically deleted. If you want to, you can easily find it there directly using the left menu.

Hah that spoiler warning isn’t gonna stop me- I’m not gonna remember the solution 😂😂 - for real though watching these are always interesting to see how they work

[@kathleenrobertpogue6818]

This would make for a neet combination lock.

[@vsm1456]

Whenever you do n-ary puzzles, I get immediately lost and can't wrap my head around why you consider it easy. This doesn't happen with other types of puzzles. I guess I should try one myself :)

Moire patterns can also influence color perception.

it is remanding me about Hanoi Tower

Oh no! A logic-based solution?! How ever will Mr. puzzle survive?! Hahaha you made it worth watching, but seriously I KNOW this was too easy for you.

[@ghostmanscores1666]

[@Davet1187]

It's trinary; zero state, one, and two.

[@Zoso14892]

Never been a fan of these types of puzzles, but I don't know if I'd be able to do it. They're also not the most interesting to watch because there's no real eureka! moment. Still an enjoyable video though, and the puzzle looks beautiful.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Something satisfying coming with it but they should not require too many steps to be still enjoyable.

I really like your channel but have noticed a lot more cuts in your videos which leads me to believe your sole times may not be as accurate as you want us to believe.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

The timer shown on the bottom is showing the time code of the video. Jump cuts are shown one to one. I see no benefit to tell a 30 min solve took only 5 min.
