    The pin in the drawer, which comes out when you turn it upside down does make sense because when you turn the whole box upside down all the pins would be in the "solution position" (flush with the top of the box). The pin in the drawer then comes out and prevents you from pulling the drawer out. It's basically an anti-cheat pin.

    10:48 It very much makes sense, because if the 5th pin was not there all you would have to do to open the box is turn it upside down. The 5th pin stops that from happening. When you turn it upside down all 4 pins retract, but the 5th pin engages, so it doesn't open.

    The pin on the drawer is there because otherwise you could just turn it upside down and open the drawer. An anti-tampering mechanism basically.

    @Punmaster9001 3 роки тому +2

    When you found the first magnet, it made sense to me how to solve it. And just like the other pins, the front pin in the pull-out drawer is to prevent the unaware from flipping it upside down and opening it without first solving it.
    It also helps that I've watched enough Chris Ramsay videos to know what to expect from certain puzzle designs

    The outside knob should have had a hole 3/4 of the way through it for the 'latch pin' to slide into so that if the pin were holding the box closed when upside down, rotating the hole in the front knob would 'lock' the box no matter which way you turned it. Unlocking would require not only finding the magnetic pieces and putting them in place but also rotating the front knob to release the 'latch pin' into that hole.

  • @brownro214

      And keeps the draw locked if someone tries to use the "bump" method to lift the pins.

  • @LordRazer3
    @LordRazer3 3 роки тому

    10:42 from what I gather that pin is to keep you from bumping it open since if you turn it upside down the other pits would open but that 1 pin would keep in closed

  • @Brounstein
    @Brounstein 3 роки тому +2

    The extra pin is to stop the draw from opening when you turn it upside down. i.e. If you turn it upside down the locking pins will slide into the open state and the draw would be able to be opened. But, with the fifth pin when you turn it upside down it will fall into the locking state and prevent you from opening the draw. BTW: Thank you. I always enjoy watching you solve all these puzzles that I cannot afford to buy myself.

    The extra pin does make sense, given it’s from the inner piece it’s action would be so that when you flip the box (and the pins coming from the outer box retract) that extra pin drops out stopping you from accidentally opening the draw by flipping the box 👍🏻

    regarding the pin in the front that you did not understand what was it for. The 4 magnetic pin when not magnetized they are probably free to move, meaning that if you flip the box upside down they all flip out of the way. The front pin act as the lock when the box is upside down so that you cannot bypass the mecanism.

      Spring loading the pins would also be a way to avoid the flipping it over solution. Might be a little bit more fiddly though as the springs would need to be tensioned properly so the magnet could retract the pin but gravity didn't.
