THIS PUZZLE IS BANANAS - My NEW Favorite Puzzle!! ($1200)

3D Printed or Machine Puzzles?

[@sofianealloui]

Machine Puzzles 💥

[@supermcfly85]

Machine puzzles just have that perfection that 3d printed ones lack structurely. Off topic, can i email you my augmented reality game that I've been planning?

[@casperthefriendlycookingapple]

Machined. Definitely. No argument if something gets removed. Printed can be a bit "was this supposed to come out?"

[@oneeyedartist7343]

Machine, no doubt about it.

Chris every time you say "I don't know if you can see in there" we can, in fact, not see in there

[@chriswyatt5223]

Lol..so true😆

[@gobananas_az]

It’s still nice to show us tho

[@ninjaman570]

@@gobananas_az of course it is! This was just to mess with him a bit haha. I’ve been watching Chris’s puzzle videos for years and I’ve always noticed whenever he says “I’m not sure if you can see this” I’ve never been able to see it so I thought it would be funny lol

[@LordPorkChop84]

I don't think Ive understood a single one of the puzzle solves since pre-pandemic......see what?....pull where?..........shake huh?..... Heeeeey, its solved :) !................. Somehow............ 😝

[@chadajacobs]

I love seeing the machined puzzles. The 3D printed puzzles allow for a lot of creativity and many times cost friendly complicated puzzles. But the beauty in the craftmanship of a machined puzzle is only second (in my mind) to the hand carved/constructed wooden puzzles (not the laser cut ones). And Lego puzzles are a class all their own. But, with that being said, I love the Wednesday puzzle drop.

[@khalilahd.]

Agreed! So cool

My question is, what kind of brain creates the mechanics behind these puzzles........? amazing, thanks Chris

[@khalilahd.]

Right?? So cool!

[@Kittiesdawn]

When you were pushing ‘bananas’ into the holes, I thought “never send this guy shopping for fruit!”.

[@ScaryMeadow]

4:26 "This thing here? If you pull it and turn it, it can turn and it can pull." just cracked me up for some reason

[@TheDankPurp420]

Being a machinist myself, I wish I could double like this video. That's some amazing work. Great work on all the differnt steps. Awesome puzzle to see solved.

[@ryanshadders750]

As an electrician who has done a lot of work in machine shops I have great respect for your profession and now follow a lot of machinists on youtube.

[@supermcfly85]

I absolutely love your puzzle solves, i never was interested in puzzles until i saw your channel nearly 2 years ago. Keep it up!

Man, the fact that you not alone can solve puzzles like this, but ALSO reassemble them… Blows my mind, truly 🤯🤘🏻

[@just_sn0wy566]

this puzzle is stunning, i absolutely love the machined metal puzzles u do man, thankyou for all the amazing content

[@robertstrong6639]

Until your channel popped up in my feed, I may never would have known about the mind blowing puzzles you showcase and solve. Your puzzle solving skills are impressive, too. So fun to watch.

[@GregLindquist]

The sounds this puzzle makes when Chris is trying to solve are extraordinary.

[@73krimzen]

Oh man that sure looked like a frustrating puzzle solve, to say the least, and darn it man again with the no clock .... I can't be the only one that misses it... Keep it the awesome job CR!

[@st0rmforce]

I discovered this channel a couple of weeks ago and now I'm plowing through the massive backlog of videos. Love your puzzle solves chris It's really getting me inspired to try making a puzzle myself.

[@smyffmawzz]

I 've been inspired too . But i'm not a creatively minded engineer . So i struggled . HOnestly , I haven't got the patients either . Which is why i'm not a Doctor ......

[@dubaloo]

I started watching these videos at 11pm.. I just looked at the time and it's now 3:23am.. I'm mesmerized. Hooked on your magic! Thanks for sharing your talent and time 👍💜👏

[@GaryCunninghamyouareenough]

I love how each of your intro's tops the last - it shows a constant grind from you and your crew that is really inspiring 🤟. Such a stunning puzzle - both in aesthetics and difficulty. Great solve man 👊✌

[@ChrisRamsay52]

Thanks!

[@Datrebor]

Wow, that puzzle is amazing. Looks awesome and I don't think I could solve it even if I had days to attempt it. It is also amazing how your minds works and thinks outside the box like that. You keep coming up with ideas on how to solve I would never had thought of. What a joy it was watching you solve it.

[@seansylvester313]

Very cool puzzle Chris. Keep them coming. I enjoy watching and yelling at the screen. I’m disabled and love the puzzles. They’re just outside of my budget since my injury.

[@MojoMfg]

I love machined puzzles. I was definitely not expecting that puzzle judging by the thumbnail. This was a beauty of a puzzle!

[@sueparras6028]

Awesome solve. Can't wait for the future you puzzle to come out. Hopefully this year. I'm 62 years old now and would love to see it before I'm gone LoL!

[@justaguydoingsomestuff2446]

Another awesome solve ! That just made my day Chris. Thank u.

[@joshuamellott-lillie5512]

"Am I insane?" is definitely the question to ask yourself after taking off the monkey's hand!

[@allday9689]

This was the first puzzle I watched you solve when you first released the video! I’ve been hooked since. It’s still one of my favorites.

[@Citt1]

That was so awesome! If I ever wanted to make a fun channel for laughs I would want to do some sort of copycat site of this & see how long it would take me to solve. I’m scared to do so as Chris is so good at puzzles & I would be so sorely embarrassed & disappointed. Not sure I would ever do it, but for now I love watching this one! So fun to watch him solve the puzzles!

[@Ogsonofgroo]

Anybody else's heart skip a beat when pieces sort of just fall out? In the back of my mind its like 'uh-oh, putting it back together just got longer' sort of thing. Thank you Chris for your great content and the many hours you saved me from mental starvation :) Cheers from BC!

[@jackafton1719]

Nothing like sitting down and watching a Chris Ramsey video...

[@bradleytuckwell4881]

I have to say you are a genius at solving puzzles.That would’ve done my head in. Amazing puzzle well worth the money thanks heaps for sharing

[@Fynelol]

Genius how? He brute forces everything, fails to explain intricate mechanisms (first step most definitely isn’t just a magnet), then fails to put it back together properly by putting the top on upside down. =\

[@piplup10203854]

I’m definitely a bigger fan of machined puzzles. There’s just something more beautiful about the finishes. I dislike the price but that’s just the cost of something unique. I’ll just have to earn more money to one day get one but that’s the dream ☺️ I’d personally love to get that chalice puzzle you did I love things like that and would love to have those kind of things in my home or space

[@d0dgecity]

As much as I love this channel and love seeing the ridiculously complex puzzles, it is wild to think you could buy 3 PS5's or this puzzle lol. Entertainment ain't cheap bby.

[@DenyTheZeitgeist]

I’ll never be able to afford one of these puzzles but at least I can live vicariously through Chris.

[@kanetwining9870]

I don't know if this has been done before but I think it would be cool to see like a week or maybe like a Christmas 25 days of puzzles but they are all random puzzles that are unboxed that day so it's your first time seeing the puzzle completely? Also loving the videos keep up the amazing work!

[@debbielatson]

Question: Chris were you one of those kids that took your Mom’s toaster apart and couldn’t put it back together again? Obviously as a adult you’ve learned to put things back together 🙃

[@Fynelol]

Uhh, he put the top of the puzzle back on upside down so I don’t think he learned much…

[@spicydragon3881]

I am always incredibly impressed with your thought process, methodically thinking these puzzles through. This puzzle, as genius as it is, the machining and construction is just as, if not more mind blowing. My hats off to both you and the creator. Keep up the good work!

[@smokeandkippers]

Great puzzle and that’s actually not a bad price for such a complex sequential puzzle in limited numbers.

[@lets_get_weiird]

I really want to see you solve one of the Hunt A Killer puzzles 😍 I've only done one myself and I loved it. I didnt even have to subscribe to them because they sell the puzzles at Target! I just want to see how you solve it and figure out all the clues because it was definitely a hard one for me and I got the medium difficulty. Anyways as always love your videos and content 🥰🥰🥰

[@saradaly8000]

Directions "no force needed" Chris trying to cheat an unscrew with fingers, "I'm not even forcing it" Hahaha love ya chris!

[@peterk7428]

Chris, if you have a display in your home for all of the puzzles you've shown us I would really like to see it.

[@JessiJackson13]

This would have driven me crazy and I would have thrown it at the wall, lol. Well done sir!

[@Fynelol]

He put the top back on upside down… the hole the monkeys hand pushes into shouldn’t be visible. It’s also a shame the spinning mechanism revealed at the end wasn’t explained, it’s super cool and show that the first step most definitely wasn’t “just a magnet”.

Never thought I’d see a fantastic sequential discovery puzzle that wasn’t built by wil strijbos. This one is up there with Wil’s creations.

[@bjfbnbnsu]

awesome puzzle for sure, idk if you noticed but you put the circle piece on the top backwards so the little hole you put the hand in is on the top and not underneath. :)

[@capecodder6207]

It’s always kind of a bummer when you spend a bunch of money on a puzzle and you decipher it quickly. But I really enjoyed this one and the craftsmanship and thought behind it was amazing! Seemed like a challenging little puzzle no doubt. This one I think was worth the money!

[@MrRaGGooK1llA]

Nice, I was thinking maybe one of the bars came out to use as a 🔑

[@aserta]

3D printed allow for 100% creativity as long as The Maker is able to control the machine to the extent of their imagination. With machined stuff, you're even more walled in by ability aaand resources. A 5k mill won't spit out what a 50k one does and patience is a wise councilor for a machinist. IMO, a 3D printed (in metal) puzzle is the ultimate form of puzzle, because then you're able to literally print your mind out. As processes come down in price of production and more and more people are able to use 3D printing machinery, i expect some truly ludicrous puzzles to come out. We've yet to enter the golden age of puzzles, is basically what i'm saying.

[@oneeyedartist7343]

You’re videos are some of my favorite, I was thinking that you should do some more playing card reviews. Those are my favorite videos of yours.

You did a well puzzle a while back and got stuck at the end, and you promised us a part 2 with the solution. I never saw it. Did you do a follow up and I just missed it?

[@lyricalnatty]

man, even when the instruction states that no force is required to solve this puzzle , your first go to solution is to shake it about 😁. We must be at least grateful to the fact you dont start using your own tools.. 😂 Btw when I'm not knit picking, i really enjoy your videos . Thanks.

[@AliPali207]

Rewatching this great puzzle. Also, the reflection at 15:15 confused me so much. It took me a while...

[@Kindred03]

Lol he took Bananas' hand and used it to free his banana 🍌 He gave him ... a hand ✋️ 🤣🤣 Okay I'll see myself out 👏👏

[@gruntopolouski5919]

Is there a maze inside the upper compartment, or are they just milling marks which weren’t polished out? BTW: this puzzle was so cool I watched the video 3x.

[@theanubisfan10]

Well, if this video proved one thing, it's that I can't hear the phrase 'banana' 'push' 'hole' and 'stuck' in the same sentence without laughing.

[@saradaly8000]

Chris says, "out" Hubby and I, "Owwt" lol We're literally only 6 hours away from the Canadian border and it always makes us laugh to hear that accent. Truthfully people think ours is funny too because we say "Wicked" all the time.

[@DonJulio_42]

Chris, where did you get the desk mat you used in this video

[@dylonrobinson7888]

Hey Chris love these videos and good job on solving this one. I also really enjoy puzzles. I noticed that after you reassembled the puzzle that the round disk in the top is upside down, the hole where you put bananas hand started out on the inside of the puzzle. Probably doesn't matter, just thought I'd point it out lol. Keep up the good work 👍

[@jessicaann9027]

Good eye! Same thing I noticed!

[@aidenwilson8405]

“My bananas are now stuck in there” thats something you dont normally hear on yt

[@gruntopolouski5919]

God I love metal puzzles like this. And wooden ones… And high-tech puzzles (like the “future me” series). Side note… perhaps puzzle makers could introduce a testing mode, to ensure all the bits and pieces are all where they should be. Someone like St. Antoine (or some other saintly friend) could run the test program/procedure as part of the uncrating/setup of the puzzle. Thoughts, Chris? Or anyone?

[@TdTd-xd3wy]

Thanks for the content to allow me to come along on the adventure of solving these puzzles… also when are you and DDE going to get together for the encrypted car … just wondering because I’d can’t wait for my two non poker vlogs to be on one episode thanks for reading

@Latest Obsession It could be. I like the will it fit with Chris's name, the "ugly 4" jigsaw puzzle, the wave puzzle, and so on. So its kind of a cross between them I supppose.

[@shable1436]

This puzzle Maker is legit, a large complicated new mechanized puzzle is hard to make

[@rancillinmontgomery2480]

I think the ball bearings were just a distraction. They didn’t really play any kind of role. It was just a matter of lining up to notches where were the ball bearings going nowhere. Awesome video really enjoyed it thanks

[@mattsullivan6351]

They do, both bars are spring loaded and you only have one magnet to pull them with, the bearings make it possible to pull one out to the correct amount and keep it there (by blocking its return) so you can pull the other at same time. Both need to be correctly aligned for the top pin to pull out. I have the puzzle 😉 Also, the last part was solved by shaking (accident) there is a more deliberate method which involves aligning the bearings so they can be seen through the little holes before flipping the whole thing over (I did it this way)
