      I bet it would still have worked with 1 x 90 degree, but would've caused it to not raise completely. Would just be a visual thing, not a real hint.

I mean the millions Hollywood has and this UA-cam channel can slap together something of comparable quality in some caves near Ottawa? Nice job Chris.

      Alternative idea: You go and meet your guest in your home for tea. You mention the priceless gold chalice you keep in your home as decor, it is sitting in the room your guest is waiting in. You leave the room only to come back tealess and say youve sadly run out of tea bags but offer them instead a drink of top notch wine for the trouble. The guest declines until you sweeten the deal by offering to let them drink from your chalice. The guest, intrigued and mesmerized by the idea of drinking out of the chalice agrees as it would make a great story to brag about in the future. You tell them to lift the glass to fetch the chalice, the chalice falls. You cry out in hysterics pretending not to know the table did that. The guest is now stunned and confused and you have sucessfully upset the guest for trying to touch your chalice.

    That was so cool how the grail retracts and then emerges when the puzzle was solved… just like an Indiana Jones movie! However, the clue, as I saw another comment, should’ve been integrated somehow or not even mentioned at all. It wasn’t that hard of a part of the puzzle to solve. If you have a table that rotates, of course you will rotate it until something happens. Other than that, this puzzle was crazy!

    That feature to let you pre-load the mechanism to make the grail be able to appear again is a great idea! Nearly as great as your face when it came up. :)
    Since it disappeared initially, I was curious how to "charge" the puzzle with some energy to bring it back.
    If you put back the lid and lift it after it came up, will it immediately disappear again or do you need to unload the mechanism with some additional steps before you can restart?
    Great puzzle and video!

      @spider853 3 роки тому +4

      I think there is a connecting gear, that when you lift the lid, it will disconnect the gear and make it fall down. When you solve it you lock the gear in and charge the spring to pull it up. So probably to reset it you need to put the lid on and unlock the gear again.

      video is edited. Took more than 10 min. Also, it is a 1 off puzzle. And its clear that the experience of the puzzle is what they spent the time on, not complexity. No other puzzle on earth has that level of WOW. You're severely undervaluing the two creators' time if you think that its 'too simple'. 20k in design adn 20k in craftsmanship is only 2-3 months of time for each assuming a reasonable salary, pre-tax, etc to make something that will only make them profit once. $40K a simple little Hanayama puzzle probably costs a similar anmount in R&D and purcchasing machining components and ordering materials but they get to sell thousands and thousands and make way more profit.

      That's how he solves almost all of these puzzles is he looks for the parts that want to move and focuses on figuring out how to actually make that happen. THEREFORE if I was making these puzzles, I would integrate all sorts of red herrings into the puzzle. Parts that wiggle but otherwise do nothing just to throw him off. I would maybe even try to have parts that ARE supposed to move but don't give the same wiggle "tells", but that might be physically impossible.

    It's absolutely beautiful! However, would have enjoyed the solve more if the hint was incorperated into the work of art. Maybe etched into the inside of the brass pieces that are removed; either by doing one line in a longer riddle or coded message on each piece (as it is the holy grail), or simply having etched: '⊾' and 'x4'. I love the simplicity of the expensive wood with the brass under the holy grail that I personally wouldn't have wished them to ruin the outside finish with some carved message on a panel (unless it was beautifully done & inlayed with brass;P). Still a stunning piece of work none the less! I'm so excited to see how they managed that without electronics, I'm over the moon impressed!
