Thanks a lot for that great puzzle challenge Felix! Brilliant design! 😁👍 Looking forward trying your next design. Considering your personal rating is 9/10, I can't imagine what will deserve your highest difficulty rating. 😱🤔
He must have a nice 3D printer, or at least they've evolved nicely, because 3D printed items used to look pretty terrible, but his piece looks like consumer grade quality. I would never guess it had been 3D printed at home.
@@OrthodoxAtheist Consumer 3D printers have definitely come a long way. By contrast, the industrial 3D printers like the HP Multi-Jet fusion are absolutely bonkers. 3D printed plastics that can lift cars are straight up nutso (but awesome)
Do you know what the funny part is? I have no intention of buying any puzzle that you demonstrate, but because of the way you talk and explain these puzzles I come back every time. You seem like a sincere cool guy. You radiate coolness. That's the reason why I keep watching.
Did you know that puzzles are an anti-aging tool? Scientific studies have shown they keep your brain cells deteriorating .This is probably why small children love doing them so much , because their brain is thirsty for data !Obviously it cannot be too hard otherwise they will give up before solving it .It has proven to make people smarter than not bothering .
@@mekugi61 Well it wouldn't work at all. It would depend upon how strong any gravity available was vs the weight of the ball bearings but other than that you would be knackered opening the Titan sphere.
Mr.Puzzle - NOTHING is too difficult for Mr.Puzzle. ;-) I like the approach you took to the solution: logical thinking, weight, manufacturing technique, materials, cost to build, the designer etc. When you get the note pad out it’s serious! Brilliant solution and video. Very well presented. Possibly one of your best videos. Not because of the difficulty rather your presentation and explanation is very interesting. And the logic tree you theorized. I love cerebral challenges. Happy Summer & puzzling!!
Pigeon Dragon - near the center of Germany. There are many different German dialects. I spent almost 2 years there, sadly I don’t speak German but when you travel around Germany there are noticeable differences in their language and English as well. Wonderful country and people as well. 🇩🇪
Congratulations! Your solution and explanation was flawless. I especially enjoyed the fact that you created that printed piece to illustrate the design. Considering the difficulty you had solving a device with the simplest amount of components, I believe this has to have been one of the most elegantly designed puzzles I have seen come across your desk.
That was really genius to create a cut-out side of the puzzle to explain the inner mechanism, and how it works... You have gone above and beyond the call of duty to help us understand puzzles, and how they operate... I thank you...
I was really intrigued for this video because of the 3D printed piece to allow better sight into what was occurring within the puzzle. Great explanation and show Mr.Puzzle!
Fish Tacos that's because mr puzzle is the man! I've not watched another Chris Ramsay vid since I found this guy! Mr Puzzle is MR Logic, unlike Ramsay who just guesses and bashes and flukes his way through puzzles
That's not at all what I expected the inside to look like, which is great as I love being surprised like that. I thought it was going to be some sort of hidden maze but ball bearings in a track does make a ton more sense. Using a 3d printed model to show how it works is such an elegant way of explaining the hidden mechanism. I also really appreciate how you took the time to break down the steps of your problem solving technique; I've already found myself adopting those steps in my daily and work life but to have them bullet pointed like that is even better. "Keep on puzzling" takes on a whole new meaning when I think of it that way.
When you know the solution, doesn't seem so difficult. But until you know it, good lord. I enjoy so much this episode. The way you explain the puzzles are very satisfying and in this case, the way you explain all the process is so nice and understandable... And, of course, the piece you made for us to see the mechanism. As always, well done!! That's why I enjoy your vids so much.
I love it when you say your introduction in a really upbeat happy tone, in fact it's one of the best parts of your video. It puts me in a good mood to watch your puzzle-solving skills which I admire and respect. And when you say "keep on puzzling" at the end it just kills me I love it!!!
>external tools banned >therefore can't use a magnet Oh, silly you, you eat the magnet, by which it becomes an *internal* tool and you absorb the magical power of magnets!
The level of effort Mr Puzzle goes into to explain how it works. How can someone not appreciate his dedication!? Loved the journey to the solution just as much as the solution!
This is one of your best videos ever!! you solved another imposible puzzle and even gave us the perfect explanation to know how you deduce and solve every puzzle.
WOW when I thought your videos couldn't get any better you drop this awesome VIDEO. That's how you tackle a difficult PUZZLE. I love seeing the hardest puzzles, almost impossible, being solved. Boom you did it. WOW
This is a totally brilliant puzzle. Saw this on CR's channel, and he mentioned you had an explanation video so came on over to check it out. I love all the subtle details, and the fact from the exterior it's totally symmetrical and sealed. To quote CR from another video it's like, "Here, have a ball. Small children and dogs play with them." *hours later all the adults are still playing with it* :D
It must be very gratifying for any puzzle designer/maker to have their work so thoroughly appreciated. It's fine if people buy something and just 'fiddle' their way to a solution, but it must be so much more satisfying to have someone like Mr Puzzle delving deep into the logic of the process so that people like me who are less involved in 'professional' puzzling can join in vicariously. :-)
Best episode in quite a long time, and not just because it was 5/5 difficulty. The way you explained your methodology of how you reached the solution was incredibly well done, and was more valuable than the solution itself.
Holy guacamole! I can't even begin to imagine how Mr. Ure thought of this puzzle. I can understand how Mr. Puzzle figured it out because he laid out his methodology step-by-step, but still, his ability to conceptualize what is going on inside a heavy, opaque metal sphere is mind-blowing.
Beautiful explanation (and thanks for the 3D printed part), and one of the most simple and elegant puzzles ever (both in design and idea). I think this is what makes a great puzzle: simple rules and task, seems impossible to solve at first but once you got it very easy to understand.
Thank Mr. P. For four years I have picked this puzzle up, tried again and put it down but did not look at your solution. Today I gave in... thank you explaining it so well 👍
dude you're at the top of the game. great walkthrough for people wanting to do high level solves for themselves but just don't know where to start, and an astonishingly easy to understand explanation of this puzzle with that 3d printed piece. mr. puzzle goes the extra mile
Another masterful demonstration. That is why you are my go to puzzle solver! To help me put old puzzles quickly back together again, that freinds opened then could not close. Even though I have beat them all, some times you forget how you did it 2 years ago. Thanks!
I've never seen someone put so much effort into explaining how a puzzle works! I'm very interested in the mechanics of puzzles and most solution videos are just: 1. Do this. 2. Do that. 3. Done! 4. Thanks for watching! so this video and explanation made me very happy.
I just came back to this after watching the Piston solve. I had already seen this one when it premiered but I still LOVE the dedication to sculpt and 3d print a replacement part to be able to explain a system that's meant to be blind!
Watching you solve enough puzzles, I was able to figure out your approach, but it's still nice to see it laid out simply and plainly for us to understand. Great episode!
Brilliant video! Also, congrats on the sponsorship. I love that you are not just showing people how to solve puzzles, but teaching people how to THINK and understand the logical process of solving a puzzle start to finish. The 3D print cutaway for the sake of demonstration is just going the extra mile to provide excellent content. I really admire what you've done with your channel, and I hope people are paying attention, lol.
I really don't like puzzles that don't give any signals of progress but this video gave me a deeper appreciation for the process, it is more than just brute force guess and check.
Hi Mr Puzzle. I recently bought the Titan Ball puzzle and was totally stumped so I turned to your solution. I am hearing impaired so could not hear any audio cues from the ball to aid me. But your very accurate diagrams and logic was more than enough to work with. My actions were based on your guide and my perception of what was going on inside the puzzle as I turned the halves. I closed my eyes and used the hard stops and analysed their importance in my mind. Using your diagrams I was able to imagine or ‘see’ what was going on inside. I was able to dis-assemble and reassemble my Titan 👍🏻 so Thank you for your clear and well articulated solution. You are my turn-to commentator for such puzzles and find your solutions to be excellent. You have inspired a 70 yr old to try puzzles of this complexity to improve my problem solving skills and logical as well as lateral thinking. Well done! Keep the solutions coming.
All I can say is WOW!! Awesome explanation of your analytical steps used as well as your thought process in the steps to solving it. Bonus points for the 3D cutaway .
i was hoping there was a little goblin inside holding on to both pieces and you have to electrify/heat/freeze the puzzle to kill it and release its grip, oh well
Thanks, Mr. Puzzle! Your careful analysis using information gathering techniques was excellent and well explained. And, of course, these steps brought us to an internal model that ultimately led to the solution! I love your videos, and I watch all the time. Keep on puzzling!
Great puzzle. Great two part show. Loved the explanation sequence at beginning. Very helpful. This shows your thought process. Very entertaining and useful. This is one of my favorite episodes as you show in illustration how you think. Thank you, Mr. Puzzle. Fantastic!!
Also this might be my favorite puzzle so far. It's not a 500 move burr puzzle, it doesn't require anything to be known ahead of time, there's really only one bit that needs solved, but doing so requires INCREDIBLY careful thinking.
@@Mr.Puzzle I also think a great part of this video was breaking down the thought process. I know people like live solves, but seeing the step by step of how you can think your way through is more captivating because it shows off how much art goes into creating these things.
Would it also have been possible to, using the first "stuck position" as a reference point, place your thumb where the hole is to keep note of it (this spot being found by rotating the entire puzzle until gravity causes the ball to fall out, telling you that the hole is at the bottom), then with a full rotation, place the pin in front of the hole (the placement of which is marked by your thumb) to keep the 1st ball in the hole, and then rotate the entire puzzle around until the 2nd ball falls in the hole? I realize this method requires about 15 degrees or so of guess work, since it's hard to tell EXACTLY where the hole is by the ball falling out due to gravity, but this is where my head went with the solution and i was just wondering if that would have worked?
Your problem solving method reminds me on a very difficult problem of philosophy. If we see reality only through our eyes, and our senses always limitating what is really the case, we only know that we expect and how it could be connected by a trusted and reliable result of trying the right way. But the really real realiy is not what we conclude by our methods - the results are part of what we can´t see. If you have to choose between two teapods, for which one has the better design, the problem remains unsolvable if you are in one of the two teapods. And that´s what we´re doing, as long we perceive reality through our brain. We see only what´s inside our minds. Outside our brain it's literally the beyond world.
You are in the teapot. You have your Titan Puzzle in your pocket. You open it, you take the ball bearing, you smash the teapot you are in and you get access to the other teapot!
Excellent Video and explanation! I need to get this puzzle. The last step of your problem solving technique is really another way of describing the Scientific Method that is taught in school. I would have stated as follows: 5 (a) Based on the initial observations in the first four steps (visual, tactile, construction, etc.) make a guess (form a hypothesis) about the internal structure or whatever might lead to a solution. 5 (b) Devise a test to see if your hypothesis is correct. (Design an experiment) 5 (c) Do the test and observe results (Run the experiment and record observations) 5 (d) If your guess was disproved by observation, revise it, and go back to step 5(b). (Modify hypothesis and repeat). Of course, this isn't guaranteed to find a solution--it depends on whether you're fortunate enough to come up with the correct hypothesis. But by following the Scientific Method, you stand a much better chance of finding a solution than by random guessing and simple trial and error. I think this is essentially what you were saying--but I think it's useful to couch it in terms of the Scientific Method.
Congratulations Mr Puzzle! You explained it incredibly well, better than I could have done myself! I hope you enjoyed it.
Thanks a lot for that great puzzle challenge Felix! Brilliant design! 😁👍
Looking forward trying your next design. Considering your personal rating is 9/10, I can't imagine what will deserve your highest difficulty rating. 😱🤔

Superb! Both of you.
Felix, I'm willing to bet if you had some custom engraved, as a numbered limited edition, they would be well received.

And then they zap up his brain and upload the data contents for their future evil puzzling deeds.
So, it is interesting how this spectacular puzzle will work without gravitation
@@mekugi61 Well it wouldn't work at all. It would depend upon how strong any gravity available was vs the weight of the ball bearings but other than that you would be knackered opening the Titan sphere.

Such a good idea to print a piece so we could really understand how the puzzle works! Great video! :)
What a journey and satisfaction to solve it!
Still doable or too difficult?
From what country do you come? I cant inditify your accent.
If i remember correctly he hails from Germany
You made it so it's definitly doable.

you did a better job explaining this in English than I could have and it's not even your first language.

Very grateful and impressed with your multi tired approach to solving such a puzzle and your clear precise explanation of the solution.
i was hoping there was a little goblin inside holding on to both pieces and you have to electrify/heat/freeze the puzzle to kill it and release its grip, oh well

I really liked this episode! Thank you Mr Puzzle for your explanations both of your method and the puzzld and even taking the time to make a prop.
Thanks!
It's not necessarily "confirming" your "theories" but more "supporting" your "hypothesis". Great video anyway ^^ just a fellow German language nerd
Love the explanation of the mechanics of the puzzle. I'm glad you went above and beyond with an extra prop to get your point across.
Dang that’s a crazy hard one nice job!

awesome job, mr puzzle. these 2 piece puzzles are less daunting. I am glad you do more than solve puzzles, you explain them.
Imagine a giant version of this puzzle where the ball bearings are actually two normal sized Titan puzzles.
😅
That was a really creative way to explain the puzzle. You’re right about the difficulty of putting the physics into words. I enjoyed.
so clever. You did an amazing job. Well done.

I just watched a few of You videos and this one was by far the best. Great approach and explanation. Do more like that.
mr puzzle seams to be a puzzle makers worst enemy
Very well explained I like how you created the other half of the puzzle so we can see what's going on. Well done!
Would it also have been possible to, using the first "stuck position" as a reference point, place your thumb where the hole is to keep note of it (this spot being found by rotating the entire puzzle until gravity causes the ball to fall out, telling you that the hole is at the bottom), then with a full rotation, place the pin in front of the hole (the placement of which is marked by your thumb) to keep the 1st ball in the hole, and then rotate the entire puzzle around until the 2nd ball falls in the hole?

Love the 3D printed part to help us visualize the inner workings of the mechanism...brilliant.
Imagine if it was oiled and the two halves were tight so you couldn't hear or feel the balls moving around. it would only be solved by chance if ever.
Excellent Video and explanation! I need to get this puzzle.
The last step of your problem solving technique is really another way of describing the Scientific Method that is taught in school. I would have stated as follows:
5 (a) Based on the initial observations in the first four steps (visual, tactile, construction, etc.) make a guess (form a hypothesis) about the internal structure or whatever might lead to a solution.
5 (b) Devise a test to see if your hypothesis is correct. (Design an experiment)
5 (c) Do the test and observe results (Run the experiment and record observations)
5 (d) If your guess was disproved by observation, revise it, and go back to step 5(b). (Modify hypothesis and repeat).
Of course, this isn't guaranteed to find a solution--it depends on whether you're fortunate enough to come up with the correct hypothesis. But by following the Scientific Method, you stand a much better chance of finding a solution than by random guessing and simple trial and error.
I think this is essentially what you were saying--but I think it's useful to couch it in terms of the Scientific Method.
Absolutely!
I appreciate your spoiler brakes but don't worry because even level 3 hanayamas cause me trouble. So this puzzle would be truly impossible for me
Wow brilliant puzzle. Simple but very hard. Good explanation too. It was much simpler than I thought initially. But very clever too.
If I ever go to prison, I'm taking this guy with me to pull me out 😄
Crazy puzzle. Thank you very much to show exactly what happens inside.
Did you make this video for Chris Ramsey? He needs the pointers lol
Dude the wait was killing me. Kudos for finding the solution. You The Man!
I can open it with a hammer.
Literally says no external tools
12345678abracadabra literally a joke
@@12345678abracadabra If I owned a hydraulic press, I would open it with that tbh.
Adam Jensen I don’t know man 65 other people laughed at it enough to like the comment. So it’s obviously a good joke.
