Hi FLEB I just barely found your Chanel but I wanted to say that your Chanel is incredible and I can't believe you have so much patience to complete those tricky puzzles and I know I don't have the kind of patience but I think that's how I found ur Chanel 😆 anyway keep up the great work!
Wouldn't another solution, or rather infinite amount of solutions, be to put the pieces orthogonal to the plane the paper is on yet co-planer with each other? At least by the descriptions of the rules you gave.
You mean the pieces stand up straight on top of eachother, aka on top of the line, then it would form a symmetric shape across that line. While this is true, this type of solution can be seen as a trivial solution to the problem since it will always be symmetric in this way. The goal of the puzzle is to find a symmetric answer, but it is assumed that what it is really asking for is a nontrivial solution to the puzzle. The puzzle solution you bring into account here really has nothing to do with the puzzle pieces themselves. The puzzle is only a puzzle because it is (and should be) assumed that the shape of the pieces influence what the answer could be, therefore, under this constraint, your solution, while valid in the sense it follows all the explicit rules, is not a true solution to the puzzle.
Love the videos, keep it up. Before I saw the solutions, I had a tough about stacking the pieces to create a solution. In the future, having a clarification about stacking being permitted or not would be helpful .
What if you placed the pieces on top of each other and arranged them in such a way that, when you look down on it from above, it gives you a circle? Wouldn't that be symmetrical?
the first 5 seconds i thought the solution would be placing them atop one another, creating a circle. Kinda seems like putting them in a certain orientation can do so. Maybe it is one of the solutions?
I just watched all of your videos, makes me really interested in puzzles. It would be great if you could put links of where to buy these puzzles in your video description.
I've been meaning to do that for a while. I'm hoping I'll get to it later today. Unfortunately, a number of these puzzles aren't available for sale. They were either made for a one-time event or only a few were made and they're highly sought after by collectors, but I'll try to get information up for the ones I know are mass produced.
aw man...i'm racking my brain how to incorporate this into my DnD game, since it strikes such a pleasing silhouette, but i can't quite think of a way to make it solvable without providing to much or too little info towards the solution.
you always say your a puzzle designer but i have watched a lot of your videos and have yet to see one that you have designed.. can you show some of your puzzles?
Sure! Most of what I design is related to puzzlehunts and puzzlehunt competitions. Here's one from a few years ago, where the answer is an English word or phrase: playdash.org/DASH7/puzzles/6-Potions%20and%20sabotage.pdf
I think the problem with the puzzle is that it has two solutions. The puzzle would be more pure if it only had 1 intended solution. In chess problems, extra solutions that aren't intentionally thematically related to each other are considered "cooks" and void the validity of the composition. I think with a little more work the creator could have came up with shapes that only had 1 solution.
I don't think I get the symmetry part: it means mirrored, right? They don't look the same on both sides via perfect shape, but do so on full form shape. Make a better understanding so we know what we're looking for, k?
Is there a third solution? I don't own a copy of the puzzle, so my paper cutouts could be skewing what looks like one. Can someone verify for me? Place the sickle piece just to the left of the line, sickle upside-down and pointing to the right. Just to the right of it and inside the large arc of the sickle, place the broccoli piece so that its stem points down and to the right (or small concave arc pointing to the right). Just below the sickle and broccoli stem, place the bouquet piece, large concave arc up. There will be a gap just like in the presented solutions, only larger. Appears to be a solution, if not, then very close to one!
well since I cant actually move them around it's hard to try this at home. I'm gonna guess one of the answers is to stack them so they make a lumpy circle.
Well, it does seem super easy once you know the answer! It would've driven me nuts to figure it out, though. I would've continued to try to somehow put the pieces flush together and that wouldn't have ever reached a solution.
For sure! I never knew there was a competition for things like this, but I suppose there's one for pretty much anything if you just know where to look...lol! Thanks for sharing!
I find these kinds of things fascinating, but no idea where I could find some nice original puzzles like this? Seems like every gift shop has the same type of generic 3D puzzle, but nothing quite like this. Where would be a good place to look?
awesome stuff dude! i subscribed. I actually recognized this puzzle from another video I watched some other time. for a puzzle lover who has no easy accessability to a workshop, wood tool, or a community workspace, but who would like to take steps in this fascinating world of puzzle inventing or manufacturing.. would you recommend getting a small cnc machine for home use? or rather a lazer cutter?
One way to start would be to make wire puzzles! You don't need a cnc machine or laser cutter, just some pliers and a wire! But if you want to get serious about making your own custom puzzles, you'll either have to spend a lot of money 3D printing, or learn woodworking. I've seen very few puzzles that aren't made one of those two ways. You could also use a cnc machine or laser cutter, but I think it might be harder, from a tolerance perspective, to get the puzzle to feel right. There are also a lot of puzzles which are just on paper, such as the entire puzzlehunt community!
Right! There's a whole class of puzzles that try to find "psychological blindspots" to make it hard for you to solve. I recently solved a puzzle called the "Eccentric's Dream" whose solution was a dirty, dirty psychological trick.
Place them on their sides on the dotted line
Eric Minecire wont work
why not?
Eric Minecire A
+Novaria don't see why not, as if they are on their side ! along the dotted line they should be symmetrical unless the sides were cut on an angle
epic!
damn that transition animation was smooth af
dat 60fps though
Adhika Sigit where?
I thought it was obnoxious.

Keep doing what you're doing.
Will do!
fuck
Clearly to say fuck.
haha you're right, just seemed too nice of a comment not to say fuck.
you guys are too smart
The fleb is then repurposed for later batches
I want one.
Daniel they take the dinglebop and they push it through the grumbo
he sounds like Justin roiland doing a bit, too.
Daniel Then a schlami shows up and rubs it
Bradley Allen that meme is dead.
i expected, it had had to be solved without a hole.. that's where i would have got stuck..
That's also where I got stuck for a long time!
I'm so glad I found your channel. These videos always fascinate me. Thank you for making them and keep it up!
Clayton Barrett of course it fascinates a guy with a chair as his profile pic but I agree lol
Clayton Barrett I agree!

I enjoy the way this puzzle uses symmetry. I like how you spotlight puzzles with many different mechanics.
That tiny triangle in middle ..
OCD RED ALERT
Artsy Kit I was expecting you to say illuminati 😂😂
Danielle Parsons 😂😂
another guy happy to have a disorder
Samantha Rose as a person who has OCD, it's not something to be triggered about. However those uneven lines that are wonky, are killing me.
ikr. disappointed. i expected it to fit perfectly.
Hi Fleb,
This was a really cool puzzle, it really is different, but i liked it alot.
Enjoyable and great video, as always!
You are the best!!
Thank you very much!
you triyn' to get pinned
Jons Malkownick yes he is
GregtyGreg, Please kindly, do stuff a sock in it
10/10 wasn't disappointed and that smooth ass spoiler break won me over.
Thank you very much!
for some reason I thought you had to get them to form a perfect circle.
you just earned yourself a new subscriber, i also love how you have a spoilier break that is kind of like a intro. keep up the good work
Thank you very much!
you can fold the paper at the dotted line until both sides are touching the puzzle. It will be simetrical on both side in a bent space.
Very unique puzzle solver...and unique puzzles. This takes a very advanced mindset and patience
holy crap this puzzle is amazing! I'm really loving your content :D keep up the great work!
Hi FLEB I just barely found your Chanel but I wanted to say that your Chanel is incredible and I can't believe you have so much patience to complete those tricky puzzles and I know I don't have the kind of patience but I think that's how I found ur Chanel 😆 anyway keep up the great work!

A better reply is to demand this puzzle meet two perpendicular planes of symmetry-- the one intended -and- the trivial one parallel to the paper.

Congrats on 100,000 Subs!!! :)
Thank you very much!
Wow , a very intriguing puzzle looks very easy but difficult to solve. You just earned a sub. Cheers!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Jin-Hoo Ahn is the designer, and he's very, very good. I'm covering another one of his puzzles this Saturday!
Just watched all your videos, keep it up!
you are awesome! I love your puzzles you crack.
Wow that is an elegant design. Thanks for sharing
This puzzle was different than we usually solve.
When I heard the name FLEB I instantly subscribed...
Your videos are amazing!!! Never knew these crazy puzzles existed. (:D)
Also you can just sit them up on their sides aligned on the dotted line and from above its just a straight line
Hey man! I love your videos!
Fresh ass spoiler break animation! Cool unusual puzzle too.
I'm so happy you aploaded
Another great video that I wont finish today!
In case anyone else is looking for contacting the designer, his full name is JinHoo Ahn.
Love the videos, keep it up. Before I saw the solutions, I had a tough about stacking the pieces to create a solution. In the future, having a clarification about stacking being permitted or not would be helpful .
Fold the paper in half then put them on top however you like.
What if you placed the pieces on top of each other and arranged them in such a way that, when you look down on it from above, it gives you a circle? Wouldn't that be symmetrical?
I love how you never show the pieces without your hands blocking the view.
There is a third solution if you can balance the pieces up right over the dotted line. Then they will also be cemetrical
I thought it will be circle because I know biscuits are circle
Couldn't another solution be to stack them so from top view it forms a circle? It looks like the pieces would align with no gaps "in" the circle.
That's sweet! Both of the outcomes look like set symbols from magic the gathering. The first one fate reforged and the second one Khans of tarkir!
that dotted line on that paper... made me want to rip it neatly and slowly..
"Bitten biscuit"
I expected it to be circle in shape.
the first 5 seconds i thought the solution would be placing them atop one another, creating a circle. Kinda seems like putting them in a certain orientation can do so. Maybe it is one of the solutions?
Man, I love me self some puzzles, love it!
there's also set them on their edges on the dotted line.
I'm amazed that there's two solutions looks cool dude
wait what if you stand all the pieces up right on the dotted line, wouldn't that be a third solution?
m8, just stand em vertically along the line lol.
Won't work. It will look symmetrical when viewed from above but won't have any physical symmetry.
Put them on their sides parallel with the line. That way half of each piece is on each side of the line.
^
kitchenmaiden81 Gotcha. Thought you meant side by side but I see what you mean now. It works.
Wow its really amazing puzzle bro..... Supetb idea
Keep on doing what you are doing
Just place the pieces on the line so all pieces are symmetrical and make it so they touch it's still a symmetrical shape
I like your intro. very fresh
I just watched all of your videos, makes me really interested in puzzles. It would be great if you could put links of where to buy these puzzles in your video description.

hi puzzlers
the spoiler break killed me
hey fleb i think there is way to make a anti symmetrical design as well
This is very interesting. I've never considered puzzle making as a profession before.
Sick logo animation! :)
Thank you!
God Dang It, I Though Mr Puzzle Is The Best Puzzler, But You Are!
Such a nice channel. However, there is no new video for a long time. Please post a new video :)
Rick and Morty? Fleb juice?
Mod2Two season 3 right now bro you watchin
Mod2Two fleeb not fleb
Fleeb, not fleb
SO CLOSE TOO 100K!!!!!
We made it!!!

A paper template would help all of us to make it ourselves.
Wow, that's so cool!

why arent these kind of puzzles sold on ebay?

you can place all the pieces on their side for a technically infinite amount of solutions
well since I cant actually move them around it's hard to try this at home. I'm gonna guess one of the answers is to stack them so they make a lumpy circle.
just put them together already!
btw nice video! keep it up!
I can see a third solution too!
"Hey guys im a puzzle designer" *clicking of the video*
Well, it does seem super easy once you know the answer! It would've driven me nuts to figure it out, though. I would've continued to try to somehow put the pieces flush together and that wouldn't have ever reached a solution.
It's actually very tricky! There's a good reason it's an award-winning puzzle.
For sure! I never knew there was a competition for things like this, but I suppose there's one for pretty much anything if you just know where to look...lol! Thanks for sharing!
0:15 what is he saying? "Naobioshi Gahar" ?
Nob Yoshigahara! Legendary puzzle designer!
Thank you! Keep it up, you are doing great!
I used to make maze marble puzzles when I was a kid?! I love puzzles?!
I'd call it the bat and the owl.
Why not place vertically on top of line?
I find these kinds of things fascinating, but no idea where I could find some nice original puzzles like this? Seems like every gift shop has the same type of generic 3D puzzle, but nothing quite like this. Where would be a good place to look?
There's actually quite a bit online. I'm going to make a video in the next few weeks with some recommendations.
Second solution doesn't look symmetrical to me.
Every time i hear 'FLEB' I hear 'pleb'
awesome stuff dude! i subscribed.
I actually recognized this puzzle from another video I watched some other time.

What about the second solution ?
Do you have any videos on tips for designing puzzles? I'm a game design student, and puzzle design is something that just a bit above me. It's hard.
wait what's the secound solution ? did I miss it or is he saying that you can turn it upside down?
He showed the 2 solutions. The bottom 2 pieces can be placed in a way to make a different solution. Watch the video again.
Yeah I see it I must have looked away for a secound or something quick transition thing I suppose threw me.
Yeah, I usually need to watch videos more than once to get what they say. It's not automatically your fault.
I also want this puzzle can you please send my the link at which it is available
**stares at the smallest wooden piece**
... Monokuma...
i think its not solved in a porfact shape ..something is little bit wrong
Give us some printable puzzles so that we too can solve
Ooo, slick. There's this instinctive desire to leave no interior gaps, but the challenge doesn't say that at all, does it?
Right! There's a whole class of puzzles that try to find "psychological blindspots" to make it hard for you to solve. I recently solved a puzzle called the "Eccentric's Dream" whose solution was a dirty, dirty psychological trick.
I thought it meant 3 biscuits are bitten and you have to make 1 biscuit out of the three.
I'm dumb
i subscribed because the word fleb made me giggle
How to make a puzzle like this: Make a symmetric shape and split it onto multiple pieces
I'm here thinking it will look like a bitten biscuit at the end ;-;
*MOANS LOUDLY*
Instructions unclear: got drill stuck in one piece and my baby threw the other two pieces into my meat grinder.
There is at least one other solution to this puzzle. Stack them in such a way that they depict a circle when viewed from above.
I already see the thumbnail, and know what to do.
SON OF A BISCUIT! how do you do dat?
I have to wake up in 4 hours oh mygod but these videos r so cool
Thank you very much!
