    You know, I'd just like to say that after finding your channel and watching a bunch of your videos, I just ordered my first round of puzzles yesterday. I love what you're doing and I love the enjoyment from watching these puzzles get solved. It won't be too long until I'm puzzling right along beside you. Happy puzzling!

    I've been doing all kind of puzzles since I was 5 years old and still doing them 45 years later... a logical thinking mind and good patience is the best tool anyone could have... great work FLEB....

    • @FLEBpuzzles
      @FLEBpuzzles  7 років тому +11

      Thank you very much! Patience is absolutely key! It can take an awfully long time to find the solution sometimes...

    This is probably one of my favourite puzzles I've seen on your channel so far. I really enjoy puzzles that on the surface look complicated but actually have a simple trick to opening them.

  • @lucifer1343
    @lucifer1343 7 років тому +1

    I love puzzles like this that look tricky but end up having fairly simply solutions! Sometimes I see people in the comments complaining that these types of puzzles are boring but I think they're awesome.

    I love how simple some of the solutions to these puzzles are. Sometimes its the ones that have the simplest solutions that are the most difficult.

    • @FLEBpuzzles
      @FLEBpuzzles  7 років тому +2

      Yeah! It really stumped me for a while before I figured this one out. It's one of those puzzles that when you see the solution you're like "Of course! How come I didn't see that earlier?"

    • @x9x9x9x9x9
      @x9x9x9x9x9 7 років тому

      I love handing puzzle like this to people who don't solve puzzle on a regular basis. I really love watching them try to figure it out and then I try and think of how their mind is working. At times it is so hard not to spoil it for them and give them tips. I accidentally did that to Michael (Vsauce) when I gave him the Delta Hanamaya puzzle. I felt bad about it do I am sending him my second Nemesis Factor (like I said in that other comment) I "accidentally" ordered a third one.... to take apart and see if I can add a headphone jack and a mute switch.

    The slot's not absolutely required, as the box wouldn't technically be *upopenable* without the coin... it would just require a thin screwdriver longer than the key+coin diameter.

  • @jonghunlee4621
    @jonghunlee4621 7 років тому +1

    I didn't like the solution of the puzzle to be honest, but I loved the reason there is a tiny slit to put the coin back in so that you can re-open it later

  • @marcelvdberg
    @marcelvdberg 7 років тому

    Wow, what a beautiful puzzle! It reminds me a bit of the metal sequential discovery puzzles of Wil Strijbos, a puzzle designer from the Netherlands. I am pretty sure you know him as well. This video made my day after a long and tiring day of hard work :-). Thanks for this, great stuff!

      You'd have enough to do the box without a 20 cent coin of your own, just go to an arcade and get it changed

  • @seeranos
    @seeranos 7 років тому

    You also might be able to open the puzzle from the underside keyhole, by letting the coin lie flat next to the keyhole and rotate the key's tooth against the coin to push the back out.

  • @wernerkujnisch6389
    @wernerkujnisch6389 5 років тому

    I ordered my 20 cent box from Germany. Took 3 weeks to get to me. When I checked it out, the 20 cent coin was missing. I used a nickel at first to get it open, but then I ordered a 20 cent Euro coin from Ebay. The 20 cent coin is slightly larger than the American nickel. Would have been nice if they would have included the 20 cent coin in the first place.

    • @bobbytabernacle

    Hey Fleb, this is my new favorite channel. Are there any great books or resources on puzzle design? If so, what are your suggestions

    • @FLEBpuzzles
      @FLEBpuzzles  7 років тому

      It depends on what types of puzzles!
      For mechanical puzzles, I usually recommend
      Puzzles Old and New - Slocum and Botermans
      New Book of Puzzles - Slocum and Botermans
      Creative Puzzles of the World - Van Delft and Botermans
      These three books show you a lot of classic mechanical puzzles while also showing you how to make some of them. Once you get more into it, there are more specialized books, but these give a good overview of what's been done and show you a little bit of the manufacturing side.

    • @adamdonovan88
      @adamdonovan88 7 років тому

      Those are great examples, thanks!
      I am a designer, mostly focusing on Ux in software, but I love to hear the design theory of all things. Your passion for puzzles hooked me.
      I would love any other examples you come up with, especially if they are theory, design or artistically focused.
