OMW!!!! 2 years couldn't figure it out!! Thank heavens for this!! I'm a TOTAL nutcase now!
For non-English speakers: "nut-case" is a slang expression that means 'lunatic' 'crazy person'.
And I think this puzzle would turn me into a nut-case.
:D
tubeist- dan That's the case! haha
and a case can be a container, so it's a play on words
thx, this made mi LOL :))
This puzzle is just like man; It's held together by a couple nuts.
You are the Bob Ross of puzzles. Soothing voice and make puzzles look really fun!
this was one of the hardest puzzles I've ever worked on...took me about 2 weeks, without help...I only watch the videos when I'm done to see the "theory" or algorithms behind the puzzle...and Mr puzzle rocks!!!
I have never before cared whatsoever about puzzles. I came across your channel and that changed everything. Your voice and accent certainly add to the charm of your site. I love the way you explain and pull us into the challenge. I'm getting my son some of the puzzles you have worked with. Thank you for the new hobby. I'm subbing.
Thanks for the motivating feedback! Don't buy them only for you son, get some yourself! 😁
Mr.Puzzle I don't think I'm clever enough. However, he is very much a dimensional thinker (I got that from you), so I think he will love them and do well. He is 9, has watched 3 of your vids with me, and all today has been assembling all manner of things trying to make puzzles! Thank you
_"Keep in mind that knowing the solution to the puzzle cannot be reversed."_
You obviously haven't had a decent bong session in a while.
To be honest.... , you're right! :D
This puzzle was pretty nutty
I immediately noticed it had to be two split bolts. As a mechanically inclined person and a hobby welder I really loved this puzzle.
Well noticed.
Took me way longer!
Hi. First I want to say that I watched most of your videos and I really like how you work. Recently I started with buying Hanayama puzzles for my son. I plan to buy packs with 3-2 puzzles every few months and when some time passes he will have a great collection of all kind of these great puzzles.
The problem was that I ordered "Padlock" and "Square" as first two puzzles for my 10 year old son. I thought that they are not so hard to solve and that he will be hooked to the magic of solving these problems. We opened "Padlock" first and he was playing with it for few days, at the end he told me that something was not assembled correctly and that there is no way to solve the puzzle. So I took it and spent around 5-8 hours in total before I managed to solve it again.
I say "again" because, when we opened the puzzle we managed together to solve it in less than 10 minutes, later I managed to assemble it and it loos that everything is OK, but as it turns out I have assembled it wrong. When I compare the "starting state" of my padlock with one from the video, those rings are placed differently and the process of solving the puzzle is completely different.
Would you be kind to make a video about "Padlock", very great puzzle?
I've had one of these around for years. I didn't know it was a puzzle.
Love it, one of the best of Hanayama puzzles
+ Mr. Puzzle I really enjoy your videos. I like to challenge myself and keep my mind sharp with puzzles such as the ones you solve here. I love watching the step by step instructions on reassembly the best, as I struggle with reassembling puzzles the most. You make it seem easy. Keep making great videos and I will continue watching. Thank you sir.
I figured this out at the beginning, you can clearly see that the bolt portion is in two parts, and one of the nuts had a bit of wobble room, which is an indication of damaged or removed threads; then it's just a matter of lining up the missing threads with the opposite bolt.
I'm sure this is difficult for people who don't understand things about nuts and bolts, like bad threads and such, but coming from working with this stuff for years, it's easy to do.
Agree 100 percent.
Yeah took me about 10 mins to analyze the threads. You can actually see from the side where they are and where they're not.
More Hanayama stuff!! Thanks for this Mr.Puzzle; a great video btw
Welcome Josh!
Good to have you here.
I love these mechanical puzzles, great work, and keep it up !
Love these puzzles ! Thank you !
A Great video!!! Never would have thought it would be That intricate. Very well explained. Thanks.
One thing I don't like about this puzzle is that there is nothing that indicates that you should place the nuts into those particular positions. It all seems like trial and error rather than a brain teaser
The way I showed here is the "clean" way. When I did it the first time it took me way longer since after a while the bold opened but only by treat by treat sometimes when I rotated the nuts. Once I opened it I was able to see that there is actually a much easier way.
Yeah, this one seems to me to be more like a combination lock than an actual puzzle.
Jacob Whyte This is one category of mechanical puzzle isn't it?
More exactly, this is 'hidden machanism' puzzle..
Open mechanism puzzles are neat, but i like this kind of puzzles too.
Also this puzzle isn't only depending on your luck,
if you move nuts a bit, you can feel
the case is shortly unlocked,
you can keep spining it around and find out the mechanism of this puzzle, which is designer planned.
That's why the lvl of this puzzle is 6 of 6, skill , creativity , patient both required.
Jacob Whyte When I solved this puzzle I found that it felt as though the nuts were "catching" similar to the tumblers of a lock. that helped with finding the proper spots where it felt like it was falling in the right place. holding it by one end and letting gravity do its thing helped.
I had the mechanism pretty much figured out, so the "thinking" work was done. I then put it away because I didn't want to bother with the trial and error part of perfectly aligning the nuts. I could have figured it out, but it would have been too boring.
Old video, but I just got into these puzzle locks/trick boxes from watching you and Chris Ramsay. I probably shouldn't have started with level 5s and 6s, but this gave me a lot of grief for a few days lol. Finally got it and felt pretty accomplished. Keep up the great vids!
Great puzzle box! SPOILER ALERT!!!
I found a one step solution using the little Hanayama letters: align the "a" of the left hanayAma with the opened line which has closed lines on both sides and the right "a" of hanayAma with the below closed line. Since the word Hanayama is so little it makes It relatively easy to be precise.
Love the channel, great job!
Thank you for posting these fantastically done videos - especially with the spoiler break, I just purchased one of these from your links!
Thanks!
I hope you will have a lot of fun with it. Stay patient!
Nice and thank you for the demo
This is so cleverly designed.
I've been on a puzzlethon watching these videos and this was by far the easiest puzzle I've seen yet. There's no other approach but to try pulling it apart a degree at a time and though there are a lot of possibles it shouldn't really take a person too long unless they have arthritis.
great puzzle! i like the way you explain how to do it
The nuts that use threads with the gaps are what are known as "interrupted screws" and were used in most old bag-charge breech (base)-loading rifled cannons made after circa the year 1860. Prior to that, some breech-loading cannons (few existed) had to screw in the thick breech block round-and-round like a huge bolt into a nut, which took a long time due to the many threads needed to withstand the high pressure in the barrel. With the zig-zag interrupted screw, you only needed to turn the breech block one-fourth to one-third of a single turn, depending on the design, to lock it tight. Use of brass cartridge cases eventually made such breech blocks obsolete.
A great explanation and history of the interrupted screw. Thank you.
All these puzzles are brilliant, but what intrigues me is some one had to think of the idea from nothing just shows you the brilliance of the mind we were gifted with some better than others im impressed
I love its quality, its the favorite in my collection.
You are right,
price to value ratio is great!
Few days ago I was able to solve the Rat Race puzzle within one hour, all thanks to your channel that motivated me. Keep making these videos, you inspire young minds.
Btw, i didn't watch any spoilers and it was my first puzzle I have tried so I'm pretty satisfied.
The Rat Race ist also on my list!
I am sure you will see it here in the future!
I bet the inspiration for this came from electrical connectors. They have a very similar configuration and tend to get stuck together if they are thrown into a large container of them and you spend quite a long time trying to get them apart. Whoever made this must have had a similar experience.
Interesting point! :)
traderjoes Agreed
Beautiful puzzle. !! GREAT Video..
I've started watching your videos at night about 1/2 hour before I go to sleep as a brain stimulation type thing. it's nice and relaxing, I pause and see if I could find a solution before I watch the video.
Did it work?
Mr.Puzzle for the most part, there are a few (Like the 33 piece one) that I couldn't come up with the solution for. But for the most part I can identify the way the puzzles being held together.
That's pretty good!
Keep going!
Thank you!
excellent video!
Ok that was tricky of hanayama, the little sneaks 😊. The whole time I'm watching I'm thinking "why does the orientation of the nuts matter??" then you showed the inside and I had that 'ooooh' moment lol. I think it's awesome that you take the time to explain how to solve the puzzles, not just solve them. can't wait for the next video
Thanks,
I think it's worth to explain the trick in very detail.
This is what makes it so interesting. Also I esteem of the person who designed it.
It's great that people have so many different ideas!
in a nutshell, that was awsome!
Glad you like it!
Reminded me of the old numbered bicycle lock keep wiggling and turning until you feel it loosen
clever idea !
Pretty cool.
*FREE* *THE* *NUT*
I'm not even into puzzles but you just got a new sub!🤗
5:58 "screw them" ! :-) I love your Germlish. Never mind, it's ok.
Thanks
Did anyone else think about hiding hash inside the Nut Case?
Ofir guitar picks but it's too small.
I was thinkin bout hidin *NUT* in there tbh
No, but i was considering having a quick smoke sesh. :)
Then try a Revomaze!
the cops wouldn't be able to open it ha ha ha
This is nuts
He freed the nut!
Just to show that all these puzzle difficulty levels are subjective, this one took me about 10 minutes, where Dial vexxed me for hours and hours and hours. I'd call Dial a 6 out of 6, Padlock a 5 out of 6, Delta a 3 out of 6, and Nutcase a 2 out of 6. The problem with Dial is that the mechanisms are all hidden. At least with Padlock, you can track the discrete position changes of the parts.
Supposedly it's also supposed to be able to spell Case-Nut, it's the third part of the puzzle according to a paper that came with the puzzle, I did it on a video😀
More hanayama cast puzzles please!
I've collected 37 of them, still never dispointed :)
Great channel subscribed!
Nice,
which ones are your top 5?
Those nut's are a real ball buster lol
Nuts.
Mr Ramsey actually had a different solution
I have the puzzle. Sadly, because of poor tolerances you can solve the puzzle by just applying light constant pull on both sides and rotating the nuts. On a certain point they will just slide out in one motion instead of the two step process which is guess is the intended way. Bummer, really
I own one of these and got so fed up I watched this video. I got close but it must be ceased or something because it will not come undone
Wow I'd love to be this guys grandkid
Amazing
Nine? Have you played any of The Room games Mr. Puzzle? It's a game with intricate puzzle boxes involved around a story
Very enjoyable games, I too would suggest them :)
Hey Tracy,
you are talking about the app?
Please let me know that I can try it myself.
Yeah they're called "The Room". I think there are 2 games. They are on Android for sure, not sure about IOS. They would be right in your wheelhouse. Its like a video game version of the puzzles you feature on your channel.
Mr.Puzzle Yes they can be found in the app store. The room 1, 2 and 3 by Fireproof games. Part 1 is a dollar part 2 is 2 dollars and guess how much part 3 is?
Mr.Puzzle Another one thats free is called Interlocked. Enjoy!
fantastic :)
i've watched so many Mr.Puzzle videos that i've seen the solution by just lookin at it for 1 second lul xD
Mr. Puzzle, this is my favorite channel! I find watching your puzzles and listening to your voice very soothing! I enjoy your videos a little more than FLEB'z channel, as a matter of fact. Keep it up my friend! I've actually started puzzling thanks to you!
Being told that you started puzzling just because of this channel is so motivating!
Thank you for letting me know!
I bought this puzzle, there is another way you can take apart the puzzle without having to unscrew the nuts halfway through. The 2 ends slide out and the nuts slide through the bolts.
Haaaa :D I was expecting this kind of solutions, i like puzzles and I have some quite of experience with this kind of locking mrchanism as I modified my moped all alone when I was a young kid. Brain is an interesting machine ^_^
I bought this puzzle some time ago and it took me about an hour to open it. I had some problems with the turning of the nuts, they sometimes stick a bit, which is a bit distracting during solving. I read somewhere that there is actually a second goal and that is to reverse the orientation of the nuts so that the nuts spell "Case Nut". I have as yet not managed to achieve this though. Great review again. thanks!
Took me also some time to find the solution.
Glad you like it!
can't you just take the puzzle apart, and then turn the nuts around?
aragix since these nuts are not symmetric, challenge is more complicated than just turning around.. i tried it
can you, instead of inserting the bolt, screw it to the other one, then insert both together. So when they are placed properly, the whole thing just separate into 2 pieces, instead of having both bolt block each other and needing the unscrew after ward...?
Like before is 1--12---2 after it's 12-----21.. not sure if that's clear or not :/
If your done. Can u pass me that puzzle? M really fascinated by all these puzzles but i can't afford any...
I'm not going to lie... Most of the reason I watch these videos is strictly to hear Mr. Puzzle pronounce Mister Puzzle.
well, in fact I've bought a few hanayamas because of you!
Nice! Did you like them?
absolutely! and still planning to buy new ones, I like that heavy metal feeling of cast pieces.. And when my brain gets hot while solving! there are still some I want to solve by myself.. and helping hand is always available here :) thanks
_Still_ better security than a Master lock.
I love you channel & I agree with your scale as well I agree with your opinion of the degree of the puzzle challenge. I like the nut case in metal however I’ve seen it in plastic during the 1970s not exactly the same but in principle. If you have a few favorites that you have not displayed yet, you might want to collect them as a year end (holiday season package maybe) offer them through a specialized PayPal link (purchasing page of some kind) but hold off on the solution until the second week or month of the following year.... I know you don’t do this for the money, but I think you will offer loved ones of us puzzle people a nice easy GREAT GIFT idea....... you must be sure to remove the directions from the packaging, with agreements from the maker & or the manufacture, etc, you maybe able to offer birthday packages of past favorites in their entirety... 3 or so puzzles in a box or basket for “X” price. I have a few thoughts on the boxes or packaging you could use... it could be a puzzle itself.... you get the idea.... contact me if you would like to chat more about it.Have a happy holidays,!!!
Nice
Thanks FLEB, great video!
Andrew Allen wrong channel ? :p
haha :D
I solved it where they both come apart without threading the two nuts up. It's amazing how others do this puzzle. I completed in 15 min
i legit solved that one in less than 90 seconds
I sprayed WD-40 on my nutcase puzzle to make the nuts turn easier. They are loose and want to cross thread easily.
I have that and it was the easyest puzzle i own and i own about 200 puzzles
A brainteaser safe you can hide in a junk drawer! XD
Интересный контент!)
nice one :)
I had a feeling the threads his an interlocking system and that part of the threads on the nuts were not there as they could be concealed without suspicion.
This was a lot easier than some of the other puzzles that I've seen on this channel but I suspect my puzzle solving capabilities may be more inclined to solve puzzles like these and not others.
Yes,
sometimes the first guess is just right!
I solved mine by shining a flashlight on the edge of the nut; you can actually see where the thread is missing.
It's the Nut Case
This puzzle in the form of multiple metallic objects has been nicknamed the Nut Case.
+Ghandi Floss *I've got grapes, what'chu watching, son?*
wow! This is Nuts!
hmm, I'm not experienced with puzzles, but just after looking at it, at those gaps and free play, I guessed the thread on the nuts isn't complete, so you have to find the right position to start moving those parts. I expected it to be only the beginning, but it was actually the only trick this puzzle has. so I'd personally rate it 2/5
Oh yeah.. This one is Very nice. Just like revomaze. 😋😋
I just got one
1/6 for me, I saw the solution on the first frame.
But I will make one ! 😁
Hi I’ve got the same puzzle that my mum brought from the second hand shop.
I have my volume on my iPad clear up, and I clicked on the video, and a ad popped up. I nearly shit myself because it scared me.
Sorry, can't influence the adds. :)
I am so surprised you responded, I love your videos, keep up the good wok.
There's an easier way...if you catch the first nut on the first groove of the double section and then turn the second nut it comes apart in one action. When putting back together there's no need to screw any nuts if you perfectly align the threads. It's just a matter of lining up the threads and you don't need to screw the nuts..
Free the nut! 🙆♀️
The nuts have what is known as interrupted threads.
i have that but i have been trying forever to take it apart but it just wouldn't work
Did it work as I described?
i would have never figured it out. I tried for sooo long
you need some fun theme music for the spoiler break
Currently checking how to create a better spoiler break.
I guess I have seen way too many machining videos because I came up with how it was made within thirty seconds of seeing it.
The puzzle is interesting, it reminds me of electrical connectors.
This guy's hands, however, are peculiar. No big deal, just peculiar.
Damn it! I open it in three hours but in other stupid way, instead of finding the right place I move it line by line one little move in one nut then the other one. Gaining a line in each lap, came here and see the real way.
Moin moin Mr Puzzle, die Bessere Methode ist die Lücke befindet sich genau beim 3. A von der hanmayAna Prägung auf den Muttern.
I was able to take apart without any help...i had more trouble putting it back together for some reason lol
I got this one a while back after michael stevens of vsauce told me about it when I met him (yep I am doing that name drop thing). I really enjoyed this one. I got it half figured out on my own but I couldn't get the second nut lined up right. Turns out it was just being finicky. That is the second hanayama puzzle that had this problem but otherwise they have decent tolerances. I ended up "cheating" using youtube but if I had messed with it longer I probably would have got it.
Since the parts are casted they shall be all within a small tolerance range. But I agree, sometime they can stuck a little.
I just noticed, it's basically a cryptex
interestingly
but after the first opening - interest for it becomes lower
Question:
Even if you know the how this puzzle works, how are you supposed to find out the exact of positions of the nuts for the first step?
As I explained. Use the S letters as reference.
Oh, yes, i understand that this is the solution. But how do you arrive at it? Like, what if its the same type of puzzle, but the nuts are marked differently?
There are 2 nuts, and both must be positioned very accurately for the bolt to unlock. Do you just slowly go through all possible rotations, or there are tricks to simplify the process?
AllNamesAreTaken11 just trial and error I guess, or on some puzzles you can sense a tiny change in tolerance when you are aligning bits
Hold the puzzle vertically. By using gravity, you can feel slight resistance when trying to align the nuts due to the free play in the two halves. Turn the first nut until you feel the groove, then do the same with the second nut. May have to try a couple combinations but it shouldn’t take more than a minute to solve.
The instructions say you must re-assmble the puzzle so that the nuts say "case nut" instead of "nut case"
