The excitement in the “Hi!” Is what keeps bringing me back to this channel.
NeoExigy yes! He didn’t use to sound as excited. It adds a lot. 😊
Yep. Losers need drugs to get 'high'. Proper people watch Mr Puzzle to get their "Hi!" :-)
“Every solution that’s not correct is wrong”
-Mr. Puzzle
🤣🤣
*wrong in the same way
I'm glad your finger has recovered from the last puzzle!
😁👍
There’s still a little mark as a reminder
I love the simplicity of this design. Oskar is a genius!
I agree it seems "easier" then other puzzles and while I take your word for how satisfying it is sliding in and out. Imo you can just hear how satisfying it is as the drawers slide so smoothly in and out of the boxes. Just such a beautiful sound.
Oskar is one of the most amazing puzzle inventors ever.
They haven't invented a word to describe how genius Oskar is.
Definitely!
Well, puzzle box construction'ers. They didn't design this puzzle.
Now THAT is a piece of art. Beautiful!
Thank you!
That Spoiler Break was like a mini rock music video . Very cool.
The quality of your camera work is very very good. Nice job.
Thanks! Glad you like it!
In the 90's as a kid I accidentally kept a teachers book on puzzles. Recently I looked back at it and this puzzle was in it. I was amazed to see the name of a person I knew about from youtube in a book from my childhood.
The final wood type you defined as wenge is actually African padauk. Wenge is really dark, almost black even ;)
This puzzle is so damn satisfying to look at and see solved. Just for that I feel it is in the top five best videos on this channel.
Look at what you did Mr Puzzle. They're all sold out, on every site, in every style of wood! In just 11 hours!
We're making more, and should have some ready on December 10th :)
I basically just kept the boxes as tight as possible keeping them all back to back and the solution came relatively quickly. The ah ha came when I realized I was actually right there a couple times just with a single piece flipped wrong. Love this puzzle
excellent puzzle and beautiful design
So satisfying to vicariously experience puzzle solves I would never have the time, skill, or funds to accomplish.
What an amazingly beautiful puzzle. I'll take you're word for its tactile satisfaction but, for me the sound of wood clicking and sliding was super satisfying. Great video yet again!
You've nailed the cool intro. Now we just need a "hot dang!" moment and slamming your cap on the table after the solve.
I know where you came from xD
I vote that every future video has a Satisfaction Rating now.
Satisfying for the viewers or the solver?
@@PrincessSixThirteen Yes.
@@Dargonhuman fair enough. Out of five, to make the difficulty to satisfaction ratio easier to compute?
@@PrincessSixThirteen Obviously. No need to fix what isn't broken.
My thinking is the difficulty of a puzzle doesn't necessarily translate to how satisfying a puzzle is to do; i.e. overly simple puzzles that are too easy or overly complex or obscure mechanics in more difficult puzzles that would lower the satisfaction rating without affecting the difficulty.
@@Dargonhuman of course. And some wooden or metal puzzles look like they would just be a dream to play with.
“YEEEEEES”
Love your enthusiasm!!
😁👍🏻
Really like this puzzle. Beautifully made and very doable. :)
As a woodworker, I really like this one😀
I love the appearance of this puzzle! Definitely very satisfying to see.
I love this puzzle
Irgendwie einfach und genial das Design. Echt cool, dass man mit so einfachen dingen wie Streichholzschachteln ein Puzzle gestalten kann.
I like the different wood
Amazing pieces
Simple, yet Elegant 👌
What a great puzzle. Thanks for the solve, very enjoyable 👍
Nice puzzle. Looks nice and I like the way it goes together.
Interesting puzzle! Loved the video 🙌🏼
that looks fun!
That's a very nice puzzle.
it looked like in the beginning when you showed how this puzzle works you were one piece rotation from solution - incredible
I Love this puzzle, as well as your channel! I came across it a few years back. I live in Illinois, except I have yet to buy a puzzle. I wondered if you had any suggestions on your TOP 3 OR TOP 5 Puzzles of all time?
Hmmm, hard question. I think it might be worth making a video of it.
Mr.Puzzle is a wood geek when he isn’t solving puzzles.
(Takes a wood geek to know a fellow wood geek). 🤓 Today’s B roll is soooo good!!!
Oskar is amazing, absolutely brilliant.
Did I identify the wood types correctly? 😅
Mr.Puzzle - yes absolutely you did. The Acacia Wood was hard for me to tell, but think it’s correct. The rest spot on. Not many people walking around know exotic woods like you do.
Your finger is healing nicely. ;-)
And yes this puzzle is so satisfying-I can tell by looking. 2/5 is perfect for me!
This looks cute and fun!
It reminds me of knot maths,... You know there is only one loop and returns to the start. If you lined all the Matchbox lids the same way, you might be able to associate a number or word (+1 position & clockwise, -1 position straight)), and all add up to 0 movement and 0 or 360 rotation. Maybe? 😜 The knot videos are cool tho
Did he almost solve it during the introduction?
I noticed that too looked so close but then he undid it all
lol 2:20 and pause .. is this almost it xD
Yes, just needed to reverse the last piece
Came here to say this, just needed to flip over the last piece and the third drawer was in a position to allow for that
So, we have seen both solutions ;-)
Wow I love your Puzzles and I can't wait till you get to One Million Subscribers
😂😂😂😂 dropped the baton at the finish line. 😂😂😂
The end result is quite beautiful
9:05
Mr. Puzzle: YYEEEEEEEEESSSS!!!
Puzzle: I want to be set on fire.
Mr. Puzzle: ..oh-
It looks a bit like the Devil's Knot. Love that puzzle and this one. Beautiful made.
That is a cool puzzle =]
The is a really relaxing video.
Those strong “small notches” are called: lap joints
Thanks for the info!
No, rabbetted.
Albane, Those are rabbet joints .
100% no question about it .
Google “wood joints “ and you will see the difference.
Sirios Star yes these are also rabbet joints but the way I have learnt these are still “technically” a type of lap joint, but I guess,yes, I should have said rabbet joint as this would be more accurate. Thanks for pointing it out and reminding me.
the two joints are similar and i doubt that i would be able to create a clear distinction with words , hence my suggestion of viewing a photo or drawing of the two joints .
A lap joint in most cases is where an equal amount of material is removed creating a flush surface on both sides.
A rabbet joint also will have a flush surface on both side but the amount or depth of material removed is not equal.
Cheers.
it's beautiful puzzle
Very nice. ☺🎖
I wish that all the puzzles that you review had two solutions. That way, watching you solve the puzzle would not spoil it.
Hey mr puzzle I hit the thumbs up button and I was the 400th person to do so! This was definitely one of your more fun videos to watch because of your excitement, I just love it.
😁👍
@@Mr.Puzzle ok, it's done and here is the exact verbage that I have left on his latest video which was only 8 hours ago on your behalf.
"Thank you for that video. I would like to ask you if there is any way you would consider doing a video with mr. Puzzle in any way shape or form, on his channel he mentioned that he would like to do a collaboration video with you and he has tried to reach out to you and haven't received a response. I think as well as many othersI also think that it would be a really great collaborative video. You see, mr. Puzzle is like you in many ways, very decisive, clever and well spoken. At any rate that's all I have for you today, thank you and have a nice day."
I hope that meets with your approval and let's just see what happens. Here is the link to the video that I sent your request on.
ua-cam.com/video/aIqRimZ7BVw/v-deo.html
Your cwalety is so inproved
Like it👌
I'd want to put several magnet marbles in each of the drawers to see if that makes it trickier to manipulate
I'm totally puzzled!
It looks frustrating but that would just make it even more satisfying when you solve it.
Wow I could not place the pieces together in my minds eye :P Not like I did with the 3 cubes. Nice solve really do like your content. I been entertained
You need a Doctorate in puzzles Dr. Puzzle
0:00 Haaiiiiiiiiiii!😂
LOL...I noticed that the puzzle was almost solved in the introduction at 2:20...the piece with the writing just needed to be turned around, but it wasn't quite a perfect fit. Awesome puzzle, great videos. Keep on Brick'n oops Puzzling 😁
Anyone else want to see mr puzzle and chris Ramsay go head to head on puzzles?
Mr. Puzzle wins. No contest. Maybe a jigsaw could change things up.
I would feel really bad if Chris lost. I would hope he'd win though
As soon as I saw that puzzle it reminded me of a 6 BNC T-connector assembly. I can guess you have the "inside" solution. I am pretty sure there is an "outside" solution.
I think I found both in the meanwhile!
I enjoy watching you solve all of the puzzles whether you celebrate with your solution for the creators solution there’s not always one way to solve a puzzle ,, do you not get frustrated it’s supposed to be a challenge ,, if it wasn’t a challenge it wouldn’t be any fun it’s designed to keep you guessing as much as it can . On your difficulty scale in this case I think you need to upgrade it to a three out of five at least you have an advantage over oh shit that is you do puzzles all the time we on occasion that makes them more difficult for us you have the advantage of experience as you have said many times .
With this puzzle you have to think...INSIDE the box...lol
I like the finished solution on this puzzle. Some look like they'll be great but they just aren't satisfying to solve because of some odd ball trick or the structure barely holds itself together. I like the finished shape.
When you first put it together, before the spoiler break. If you had flip that last piece you had it, looked like to me.
What's really cool is each box is made from a different wood.
This one here is.. I don't know.
And this one...maybe another wood. I don't know.
And this last one.. I don't know.
be a great project to 3d print
I like taking puzzles like this and reproducing them in lego. I need to figure out how to do this one. :D
Oh man, I think you were super close to a solution in the first minute and a half. It was hard to watch you take it apart and start over haha
ah the first assembly puzzle!
I think the scientific approach would be the 5 power 5 mindset, which will give you how many combinations are there. However, some combinations are obviously wrong; let's say 50%, if you start with a piece and follow all the possible combinations you'll actually get really close to an answer in one of them, then you can work it from there.
all 4 links to puzzle - sold out
Now that's a very interesting and really nice puzzle! And remember, if it's not a correct solution it's probably wrong! LMAO
are the individual boxes and drawers identical, while their orientations are different?
Try spinning it!
My method would be trial and error since there are only 4 pieces. But I probably would take two pieces and find a way to put them together that would look like half of a symmetrical shape. My first instinct as well was that you could only solve it by pushing all 4 pieces together at the same time like a dexterity puzzle.
Will we ever see Mr. Puzzle’s face?
Are there any puzzles out that Mr. Puzzle can't solve? I think not.
Where did you find that paper from NRC? I'm really interested in making it myself. Don't worry, I can read it since I'm Dutch myself.
Oskar sent it to me
@@Mr.Puzzle do you think he is willing to send it to other people, like me?
I can't imagine what a 5 out 5 would be like for you
Last vid 5/5, also Excalibur and he have playlist about it
Ur fan from India...
🙏🇮🇳
@@Mr.Puzzle namaste😉🙏
Hey mr puzzle!!! i just FINALY got my go cube today!!!!!!!!!1 i realy want to do a mach or two with you!
Is it possible to add friends in the meanwhile?
@@Mr.PuzzleI don't think so, but it says you can host a match with a friend, so ill look it up
@@Mr.Puzzle i think maby if i host a match, it will show up for you in the join a match area
@@Mr.Puzzle yes, that is how you do it. I'm hosting one in the medium room(Paris), and you go to Paris, then click challenge a friend, then click on the game that shows up. (it might say Stephen Cutting
It looks more tortuous than putting together an Ikea chest of drawers.
When putting the links to where you can buy puzzles can you please put the link to the actually puzzle not just the shops home page? I always have a hard time trying to find the puzzles in your videos on the websites.
Correction I found the link thank you
So i checked on this to see how much it was.... $100. Little too much but god damn is it nice. Matchbox version for sure then...
Theoretically there are 1.920 different ways to arrange thes
e Boxes.
Good luck doing it randomly ;D
Its only 4!*4^4=6144 combinations. Even Brute force algorithm can solve this.
You solved it in the intro
good lord 17years old!
👍
The puzzlemaster version apparently ships solved, which kind of ruins the fun of discovering the solution
Some puzzles shouldn't be shipped solved, and this is definitely one of them. However, Matchboxes is pretty confusing and also pretty easy to take apart, so you can kind of look the other direction as you disassemble and it shouldn't ruin the puzzle too much.
So. beim nächsten mal e
zeige ich euch wie man aus diesen Teilen ein Viereck, Dreieck und eine Kugel zusammen setzt. XD Aber schönes interessantes Teil. Und wie immer sehr gut präsentiert.
Danke!
Pleaaase bring back the cash register fx!!
Would love to see a crossover with the lock picking lawyer.
Tried to contact him through but no response. Maybe you can post below one of his videos to contact me.
@@Mr.Puzzle that would be epic! If you could somehow do a video with the lock picking lawyer that would be amazing! I'll tell you what I'll do, I will personally go to the lockpicking lawyers channel and ask him for you.
When u click so fast....
👍📹
Missing maybe 10mm... Only 10mm jajaja.... Good one....
Impossible, joking you're the best
Suggestion - a little more time spent looking at the individual pieces before you start, so we can play along. Thanks.
1:39 idk idk idk idk if you dont know why even bother to name them. Lmao dude
Hey dad, that looks so satisfying and tactile.even i could maybe do that....
😎👌
