    I'm not a person who enjoys puzzles, and yet I love your channel. It has helped me see that I approach puzzles with the wrong attitude which causes me to get frustrated easily. I really feel that I've learned a lot from you about solving not only tangible puzzles, but life conundrums, too: stay calm, be patient, abandon preconceptions, listen, try fiddling with each segment even if it appears to be solid, be careful, but don't be afraid to apply a little pressure. It's strange to think your puzzle channel has changed my outlook on life, but it's true! Thank you!

    I’ve got a very similar puzzle box handed down from my grandmother which is over 100 years old. It opens in exactly the same way as this one. You’re supposed to turn the key twice to lock and unlock it. Plus, of course, the key turns the wrong way - clockwise to unlock it rather than anti-clockwise which is more usual. I love this video - for once I was shouting instructions at the screen rather than being completely bewildered.

      My mom has one on display at their home, also inherited I think. Now I got check if it works the same next time I'm there. I only remembered there was some trick with the center panel, so maybe I've never seen the secret place to hide the key.

    Hehe, I have one of those since 1998. I bought it directly on a market in Romania. It its the same except in mine there is no slot in the side-slide for the key - the key is just inside the lower compartment. Great to see that they are still producing and selling them now on the internet.

    The only gift my grandfather, who I only met once, gave me this exact design (with a few changes) on my 16th birthday. He got in Korea in the 50s. It has the date he got it written inside. All but one move is the same and it had an actually metal key in the bottom. One of the only interactions I had with him before he did was showing me how the box worked. I cherished it. It was hand made as well and had a beautiful picture of a bird paint on top. Sadly it was lost in a fire but this reminded me so much of it I'm shocked. Thank you for this. I didnt think I'd get so emotional from a puzzle video.

    I think the foam was intended to be placed behind the mirror... (Hold the mirror in place, from the back.) New guy on the assembly line, didn't know where to put it. This is a great gift for a kid who is into secret places and magic tricks.
    With a little work, you could expose the mirror compartment more and add a better mirror with a magnetic trim to hold it in place.

    Wow. My wife has a 9 front piece sized box just like this she picked up in Romania many years ago. Same solution but hers isn't velvet lined, the pattern is different (definitely hand carved), and they solved some of the wonkiness of things like the key falling into the puzzle as you remove the side but still has the same janky mirror, lock, and key. Beautiful box and funny seeing it on your channel surprised me a ton. Keep on puzzling!

And my mirror is so tightly stuck between the wood pieces I have a hard time getting it out, thinking I’m gunna break something when I take it out.

  • @urnotsafewithme4284
    @urnotsafewithme4284 5 років тому +3

    @Mr. Puzzle: in Romania you can buy it from the Bran Fair for example (their design includes an engraved metal coin on the lid as well with the BRAN Castle - so called Dracula's Castle), the large one, for about 10-12 euros, so the actual prices are even cheaper. I bought 3 different sizes, with 25 euros (1 small, 1 medium, 1 large). The nice thing is the solution varies a bit on each size, but still the same principle. They are indeed beautiful for gifts.
    Also, love your videos, keep on puzzling!

    Draculas box yeah, it's just the generic, definitely not handmade box sold basicly everywhere here in Hungary.
    The difficulty to open the box increases with what size you get.
    All of them have the same key obviously and don't worry about applying force to turn the key as it has a horrible locking mechanism.
    I got mine about 12 years ago, sold at some castle ruins we visited with my school. Basically if you visit any interesting location outside of the capital you will find someone selling this with the exact same motives on it.

    I found a similar box on my holiday trip in Marocco. Mine is handmade from cedarwood I think. The local shopkeeper explained the solution to me. But at the time I got home it took me half an hour to find the solution 😁

    That could be a jewelry gift box with a gem inside...😊

    I can’t even solve two sides of a rubix cube so stuff like this would literally send me insane
