    Its called a lotus flower because traditionally, you can pick up a lotus flower by its stem and twirl it between two hands (like one of those helicopter toys) and it will fly on its own. You have to unlock the puzzle by turning it upside down and spinning it by the screwed in piece (stem), just as you would a lotus blossom. That is how you unlocked the mechanism the first time if you pay attention closely.

    It's called the "Lotus Puzzle" because a lotus blossom blooms twice. It gives you the first coin (when the lotus shoot comes out of the mud), and the second coin (when the flower blooms).

    The thing was about “you don’t understand the name until you FINISHED”
    The first coin supposed to mean that you are done. But because you know from the description about lotus thing you don’t finish and continue till getting lotus coin that means the real ending

    12:15 "I can't read Chinese" he says while holding a Japanese 5 Yen coin.
    Edit: A lot of the newer comments appear to be rather salty and uninformed, claiming I'm wrong and this is indeed a Chinese coin with Chinese writing.
    You're wrong on both accounts.
    The kanji on the coin reads 日本 (Nihon) which means Japan.
    Also Japanese coins have round holes (5 Yen and 50 Yen coins)
    Chinese coins had square holes.

    Reading through some of the comments and my own research, I'm piecing together some hints shared by other people regarding the "reason" behind the name. Kelsey Megan mentioned twirling it between two hands to make it fly - there are martial art movements called the Lotus Spin where you jump in the air and put your legs in a cross legged position while spinning in the air. I take it to depict the way that the lotus can spin and fly in mid air if you twirl it, hence the spinning action required to solve this puzzle (maybe). Also as a few people have pointed out, the first coin that came out is a Japanese 5 yen. The image on the 5 yen is a rice plant, which is planted in water. The second coin is a chinese 5 jiao, which is something like a 50c coin, and the image on the back of that is of a lotus. After looking for info on the lotus I found that the lotus (also grown in water) grows on a rotation cycle along with rice plants (the 5 yen). The lotus is harvested in July and the rice can then be planted in the same field, forming a rotation and making good use of the field. Perhaps the spinning action also represents the rotation of crops? I'm just making some educated guesses here.
    Btw awesome puzzle, and new subscriber :)

    I kept waiting for you to spin it the other way, not flat on the table, but holding the screw-in post and dangling it to spin; this would give the illusion of a lotus flower viewed from above. Then even if the coins are discovered and removed, the box is still "hiding" a lotus flower. I feel like after the second coin is out the weight would be balanced on both sides of the pin to help the box spin evenly... But there's no way I would have gotten that far to try it myself. Lol

I fought with it for the longest time, then decided to watch this video. The first thing I noticed was the long thin pin that you were using was not part of my collection of pieces. Since I moved from the couch to the table so I could spin it better, I went back to see if i had dropped a piece! Voila! There it was between the cushions in plain view! I was able to solve it after that! So glad I watched the video or I’d still be struggling! Lol

    This video is good but don't let it distract you from the fact that gru is the most powerful person in the world First according to the height of a Minion (which is 3.5 feet on average) Gru is 4 minions tall, which means he is a godly size of 14 feet tall. Second if any of you remember the original Despicable Me, you Know there is a scene when Vector kidnaps the three girls and shoots a series of heat-seeking misses at Gru, he then dodge them all. According to the speed of an average ballistic missile (1900 mph) and the size of the missile according to his ankle size, Gru can perceive and move at such a speed that the missiles only move 9.5 miles per hour, 0.5% of their original speed. Plus after this Gru punches a shark and it is paralyzed meaning its spine is probably shattered, to remind you it would require a force greater than 3,000 newtons to fracture the spine. That’s equal to the impact created by a 500-pound car crashing into a wall at 30 miles per hour. I rest my case.

    Poets use lotus flowers to inspire people to continue striving through difficulties and to show their best part to the outside world, no matter how bad the circumstances may be.
    So, while the flower blooms it's special qualities cause us to bloom (poetic - it blooms twice). This is a revered flower with much symbolism attached in many cultures - out of the mud, stem through the water, flower opening at day break, showing both the petals and fruit at once. (I had similar thoughts but this is from yahoo answers and they put it better than I ever could)

    The true reason why this puzzle is called "Lotus Flower" is, that the puzzle has two coins, old one and new one. Both of coins hidden inside puzzle are 5 Yen, but first is very very VERY old one with a hole in coin's center, other is contemporary 5 Yen coin without hole. This is reference to Lotus seed's extraordinary durability, which can last virtually thousands of years. Thus, meaning of puzzle is, "relic" Lotus seed (old coin) being planted and blooming new Lotus Flower (new coin)
    Ultimately, the true answer to the puzzle, in terms of puzzle's mechanism , is, a synchronicity: as second coin, is designed to be obtained through accidental, but reasonably expected event. (well, spin mechanism itself requires "expected accident" as it is expected to be solved by spinning, but requires some "luck" for actual success.)
    -
    P.S.
    Little tip for folks who are curious about the reason why there is hole in old coin: it is hole there to allow the coin holder to hold a coin with tiny rope. (More precisely, it was not actually a rope hole; the hole was just part of coin's aesthetic feature, which represents ancient view on the Universe: the sky is round, and the land is square. Eventually people used that hole for roping coins though.)

    • @albolawliet
      @albolawliet 6 років тому +17

      Sorry but you are wrong. The modern Japanese 5¥ still has a hole at its center. And it is exactly the one that the video uploader found first. The second one is not a Japanese 5¥.

    God I'm such a nerd. If you have ever seen or heard of Naruto: "the lotus of the leaf blooms twice!".
    (leaf refers to the village they reside in)
    Whenever you hear these words, get ready for a hype train. (The Lotus is a set of typically illegal moves as they are very powerful, but also damage the user. The "bloom twice" refers to a second state, or "final state" *spoiler* that unleashes unimaginable destruction/damage.)
    What I mean to say is, most would stop at the first coin. Most would see it and be satisfied, but the lotus blooms twice, and takes it a step further. For those who stopped at the first coin, they were rewarded, but those who took it further were greatly rewarded, not just in the lotus coin, but in the knowledge that they did.

    It might look like Chinese because it's only Kanji, but it is in fact Japanese writing on the coin.
    The front of the coin: 五円 means "five yen" in Japanese. The back says: 日本国 which means "Japan", and beneath: 昭和五十八年 meaning "Shōwa 58 years". So it's a Japanese 5 yen coin from the Shōwa period. If you google "5 yen" you will find an image of the same kind of coin almost immediately. I don't actually know what the 58 years are referring to, as the Shōwa period lasted from 1926 to 1989.

    • @hydroxide5507
      @hydroxide5507 6 років тому +4

      Maybe you translated it wrong? I'm not doubting your skill it's just that 58 years is 1984 and unless it came from the future it cant be from 58 years after it ended
      And since it didn't end that year it couldn't be celebrating its end and how long it lasted
      But 58 seems like an odd number to celebrate(why not 50 or 60?) It might be some Japanese cultural lucky number(like 3 or 7 here) but I'm ignorant to their culture so I don't know

      I think this pulls more from the Buddhist symbol of the Lotus flower, which is that it symbolizes purity and detachment.
