What is your difficulty rating on this 📦? I’m guessing 4 or 5?

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Yes, 4/5. Added it in the end.

[@PrincessSixThirteen]

I love the color.

[@angiquinney8598]

I love seeing you and Chris Ramsay solve the same puzzles, how you both have such different approaches to solving them 😊

[@lewisbucklew9633]

Brought back the best spoiler break music ever!

[@dinabrioni9353]

One of my favourite parts is when Mr.Puzzle says: Let me get something to draw. I'm always fascinated how one can figure out internal structure of the puzzle by just fiddling it around.

[@jmg999]

Mr. Puzzle's ability to detect what mechanisms are in place on the inside of a puzzle are really impressive.

[@bethm8593]

This puzzle box is mesmerizingly beautiful!

[@NiNja10Doh]

Mr.Puzzle just has it all. The comedy, the music, the mystery, and the introduction.

[@smbcollector]

I think you did an excellent job explaining such a complex mechanism, especially considering how most of it was internal and obscured by the puzzle's outer shells.

[@sapelesteve]

And Mr. Puzzle says: "Nothing is moving, actually a lot of things are moving"! Gotta love how he really gets into solving these puzzles. Nice solve & that's a really cool puzzle........... :)

[@mtootm]

That puzzle has a really nice finish to it. Really like the color

[@incog0956]

I was constantly thinking he's gonna scratch it lol

[@SteveSherriff]

Love watching your solutions. For the last step I spin the cube on the Allen Key and the centrifugal force separates the large central pins.

[@HonestSpiritual]

The unfortunate thing about watching Chris Ramsay's KZbin channel and this one is that sometimes I see the solve of the same puzzle on one channel first before it shows up on the other channel like this puzzle and the last video. However, I do like watching Mr. Puzzle solve the puzzles more. It is less frustrating to watch Mr. Puzzle than when Chris tries to solve it. I think it is because Mr. Puzzle is able to clearly and logically explain how to solve the puzzle.

[@angiquinney8598]

I like seeing Chris Ramsay and Mr Puzzle solve the same things. I like how they have such different approaches to solving them 😊

[@timehunter9467]

I struggle to watch Chris Ramsay, he infuriates me. I like Mr. Puzzle’s methodical and calm attitude towards puzzles.

[@DW_7]

@@timehunter9467 which is totally understandable.. But as most watchers of both channels I can get behind both of them. Chris is more the creative and trial and error type of solver, who tries many paths which sometimes seems far fetched. Mr puzzle has a pretty straight forward way of solving, both types are nice to watch for me, although Mr puzzle improves my own puzzling more. Especially his video on the titan puzzle really made a difference

[@joshuascholar3220]

@@timehunter9467 Chris is a guy whose advantage is that he can afford expensive puzzles, but he's not as talented at solving them as Mr. Puzzle.

[@NovaLand]

@@timehunter9467 I don't like Ramsay either. His hand tatoos makes me uncomfortable. Being a "hand artist" (making a living from filming your hands) and having tatoos on your hand is not a good combination.. unless you're running a tatoo channel or something...

You're a genius.

[@dragonmaid1360]

That's so neat. See I don't wish to solve these but I love to see how they work. So this channel is perfect for me

[@gilles111]

My first thought was there is only one moving cylinder (with the smiley) inside and you had to move it halfway up and lock it with the screwing mechanism to release both pins. Two cylinders make it even more brilliant. Nice box!

[@DomAZ]

Very nice.. I understand now why "make me smile"!!!

[@m1m1snake]

Take a shot every time he says screw in this video haha.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

😂😂

[@experi-mentalproductions5358]

It looks like the box from Mulholland Drive.

[@jagmarz]

So the nut at the top was attached to a threaded piece, and I wonder whether it wasn't the original intent to remove the hex bar, shift the top pin under the hole and then tighten that little set-screw back into the top hole, to secure the pin in the unlocked position? It kind of feels like that part was separate from the nut for a reason?

[@username7790]

3:15 I think he forgot about the word "frown" 😆

[@notahotshot]

I don't think that word is in his vocabulary. With his apparent high level of positive attitude, I'm not sure he would understand the concept.

[@Showsni]

"Frown" is one of those words that means different things in different parts of the world. Here, a "frown" is something that is done by the forehead - a furrowed brow. I'd just call that face a sad face, since it has a downturned mouth but no frown.

[@Apophian93]

I'm not a big fan of sequential discovery puzzles. It always seems like it's just a matter of time until you find the next move and the next and then it's done. I like ones that have uniquely thought up solutions which require deep consideration. Like Hanayama Radix Puzzle. That's a fun one! But I'll watch this video!

[@PetermusPrime]

Could you use the other screw (that was part of the top nut) to hold the top pin from sliding by screwing it back in against it?

[@Mr.Puzzle]

That's a good idea. But it's not really necessary.

[@willowsticks]

Can anyone recommend, if they exist, a good sequential puzzle box in the $25-$50 range?

[@SubaruWRXspdManual]

I'm no puzzle price expert, but $25-$50 for a sequential puzzle seems quite low to me. Good, high quality puzzles are usually not sold in high volumes, so they don't make alot to begin with and as you can see with this puzzle, they are usually very well made, so I'd guess low priced puzzles would start around $80-$100. Google is your friend. Look around on Google. You might find something in your price range.

[@phosphor8416]

Great piece of work. I enjoyed the frustration followed by relief. Anyone around here would like to buy this masterpiece?

The lotus is a puzzle I still want badly, but it's really pricey...

[@TheElrondo]

Very nice puzzle box and you got so excited. Was great to watch. But there's a but(t)... ~300€ is far away from a purchase for an average german pensioner like me 😕

[@superdrinkerb6432]

04:07 Whats the purpose of the aditional screw in the cap? (Mr. Puzzle call it "worm screw"). Could be used to block one pin into position? On the top hole, perhaps?

[@Mr.Puzzle]

I think you can also use it as a grip for a the tool

[@superdrinkerb6432]

May be this is why it is called "sequential solving", because all the components are used one by one.

[@GigsTaggart]

@@Mr.Puzzle what was the point of the bottom pin you taped in

[@henkhu100]

At 26:15 the movie jumps to 31 and one part on the table has disappeared. What was the use of that part?

[@bluex6095]

A key...My kingdom for my key

[@steamer1]

That spoiler break tune tho...

[@maulaucraw1209]

No bumping, just tighten the lid, ye channel will be obstructed, clamping down the pin

[@jeramiet154]

Does the bottom pin not also lock the lid? Or did it only keep the bottom smiley from dropping low enough for the screw to go back in?

[@Mr.Puzzle]

No it does not directly lock the lid. It only prevents the vertical pins from dropping down. Which makes it impossible to open the box in this condition.

[@jeramiet154]

@@Mr.Puzzle understood.

[@fizixx]

Beautifully made puzzle, and you did a great job explaining the mechanism. I'd be afraid to see the price tag for this puzzle however. :\

Mr Puzzle. By far the hardest puzzle of all. Is the one that does in fact involve you having to find your way back through the maze that is the human mind. A puzzle which when completed. Also has the greatest prize of all. The realisation of immortality. Best wishes.

I really love your videos but is there any way we can get your thoughts on the puzzle without getting the spoiler? This looks amazing but I can’t see what you think of it from the first part and don’t want to watch the spoiler.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

It's great. From my point of view a trick box and not a sequential discovery. The price makes it rather a collectors item but still the puzzling is also great.

[@skipoltz2168]

Are you sure you are not on the movie beerfest??

[@DisI3oss]

Wait so what's the purpose of the bottom pin? The one he tapes.

[@mooseclamps]

it will move in unison with the top pin. it's to trap the middle two cylinders into a position blocking reinserting the screw so you can't easily solve the puzzle just by flipping it on the correct side and then screwing in the screw

[@mikesingleton122]

The sad looking smile would be called a frown 👍
