Alles Roger was *much* better: • Could be solved with mechanical finesse (I refuse to acknowledge the alternative solution). • The solution Mr Puzzle came up with is one which could possibly be determined by visual inspection (especially for the first half). This makes the puzzle a bit more satisfying to watch and also makes the puzzle a bit more fair. • Has two puzzles in one, with the first being a little easier. That's brilliant design! • I suspect R2D2 is designed to be solved by two people. That makes it a poor puzzle to hand to a friend. • Air-based solutions are kind of gross.
I also think the "Alles Roger" was a cool entertaining one, but also simplicity of "R2D2" on executing the same idea but with fewer components was quite admirable nonetheless.
Alles Roger with the modification that there's no holes to suck or blow. As much as your original solution requires dexterity, I think it should be the only correct solution.
Not gonna lie I just wanted to see the intended solution. I didn’t expect my comment to be featured. Super weird to hear your name pop up in a video haha. Glad I could help!
I don't really like how the new R2 is so difficult to execute after knowing the solution. For me, execution should be not reliant on having impeccable timing and motor skills.
@@Rina_Redfield As other commenters have pointed out, the intended solution is easy to execute but requires two people. (hence the puzzle's name having 2 in it).
When I see there are two holes for air and the metal balls need to move in opposite directions, I thought the intended solution requires some teamwork with Mrs. Puzzle.
Seems like to me this would be a two-person puzzle strictly because of the name R2D2 (two-people). Seems like if two people are sucking out of the same time the ball will move through very easily
The way I solved this puzzle was to hold it, almost flat but tilted slightly down away from me, and very slightly to the right. So the ball is being held up by the large ball nearest me, the farther one is out of the way. I then inhaled on the near side, but with my finger blocking the far air hole like 95%, this caused a slight delay between the time the nearer large ball moved toward me and the farther one moving to block the small ball. Just enough time for the small ball to skate through, because of the slight tilting, that's what it would do. Love Roger's puzzles! Thanks for making these videos! PS I did the Alles Roger similarly, now I have to try your way!
Maybe an easier way is to have someone suck air from each side at the same time, Mr. Puzzle and Mrs. Puzzle. Maybe R2D2 refers to 2 people needed. Just thinking outloud.
Actually i liked more your version of solving it, looks like a more simplier and even though the timing is important it's not depending on a weird tilting
Just found Mr Puzzle a couple days ago. Finally decided to check him out after Chris Ramsay mentioned him. Mr Puzzle is awesome! I love his accent. And he finds some great puzzles. I'm fairly close to subscribing! :)
Yup, this episode is definitely funny :D I like both puzzles and I think your solution for Alles Roger is a good one too. I'd love to see the other two puzzles.
I think your solution with the one with the parallel channel is also clever. I assume the the bigger balls are heavier, thus they need more time to accelerate. So sliding it fast up and down the table does the trick. On sliding up the small ball cannot move up, but the channel is open. On sliding down the small ball accelerate faster, passing the channel before it can be closed. Still, the air gimmick is amazing :)
Thanks for showing another toys/gadget other than the puzzles. Pls do more of this. coz I wanted to collect like this and of course the puzzles although I don't watch the videos in its entirety to avoid me knowing the solutions. Just the introduction parts so I can buy and collect them all possible.
An alternative solution to the second one: can you put it vertically on the table, so the narrow ends point up and down; turn it so the trapped ball is in the upper half. Then briefly suck on the channel pointing up: this moves the upper large ball out of the way, the lower large ball should be out of the way because of gravity. This should let the small trapped ball fall down, shouldn't it?
Hold it on its end and spin it perpendicular using centrifugal force to separate the large balls. Looks simple. No blowing necessary. Gravity and centrifugal force is all you need.
If I'm not mistaken, I think you're holding the R2D2 upside down while sucking air, thereby losing your strength of gravity on both the small ball and second large ball. Plug your finger over the other hole while sucking. Make sure the puzzle is facing to the correct side so gravity is pulling down on all 3 balls. The solution should be a single suction and no jiggling or wiggling at all. A one suck solution. :)
What if you put the little ball close to the larger balls and give it a spin the centrifugal force should split the larger balls apart and force the little ball past make sure to spin it in the right orientation. Use the channels orientation.
Puzzles like these are awesome! Being a shade tree mechanic, these puzzles sometimes translates into mechanical skill. I thought of old automatic transmissions that would use check-balls (a ball bearing that blocks a passage and only allow one way fluid transfer)
I didn’t think of the blowing/sucking air, but I wondered whether the different thermal expansion properties of aluminum and steel might be used? Like, what happens if it’s placed in a freezer? Or warmed in the sun?
Pretty cool mechanism. Very unique. But it's not exactly "hygienic" for a puzzle, especially if you plan to have it lying around for friends and family to play with.
so, for the 2nd puzzle, what if you lied on your back and did the puzzle upside-down (while looking up at it)? So the balls all rolled on the flat plexi surface instead of falling into the indented "buckets"...?
I don’t know if this would work or if you tried this in the video (I don’t think I saw anything like it), but what would holding the two holes closed with your fingers do with the balls tilted away? Would the balls still move inward when tilted, or would they stay in place?
The lips to the puzzle solution raises my anxiety as I like to leave puzzles like this out for guests and children. I would have thought the solution had to do with centrifugal force and orienting the channel for the small ball as a vertical axis.
Blow until the top ball moves up, then cover that hole while it's up, then suck down to pull the second ball down and cover that hole. Both balls now held in place by suction. Now, holding both holes closed, tilt the puzzle to get the uncaptured small ball through.
What about displacing the two bigger balls by spinning the puzzle, or hitting the desk with the bottom right corner when holding it at a 45 degrees angle?
"Do you want me to review it" No Mr Puzzle, I want you to become a restoration channel 😜 I wasn't particularly fond of that as a solution, I think I prefer your solution. Maybe it's just the current situation, but the thought of sharing this puzzle makes my skin crawl lol. Clever puzzle though.
@@Mr.Puzzle physics vs aerodynamics(?) I guess. Enjoyed your video either way of course, even if you did look a little insane leaning over like that haha
the r2d2 solution use the same principle as the 1st puzzle you sould check the spaces for each ball compartment.. 1 has vertical and the other one is horizontal. you can shake it in diagonal direction
What about standing the puzzle on the corner the small ball is supposed to reach, put your finger on the corner the small ball is in to define an axis and spinning the puzzle on the diagonal that goes to the small ball corner? Centrifugal force should push the large balls away from the axis of spin while the small ball drops along the axis.
When I first saw it, I thought the solution would be using centrifugal force by spinning it along the axis of the channel, fast enough to counteract the gravity acting on the larger balls.
Don't know if this is true, but it looks like slopes in the metal structure are what is keeping the larger balls in place. So both of the puzzles should be easier if you did them upside down, so everything was resting on the flat, clear material
R2D2 or Alles Roger? What is your favorite?
Definitely agree, R2D2 is neat but Alles Roger feels like the idea taken to its proper conclusion.
Alles Roger was *much* better:
• Could be solved with mechanical finesse (I refuse to acknowledge the alternative solution).
• The solution Mr Puzzle came up with is one which could possibly be determined by visual inspection (especially for the first half). This makes the puzzle a bit more satisfying to watch and also makes the puzzle a bit more fair.

I liked Alles Roger better with the solution you found; that feels more like it should be the true solution.

Great suggestion Gavin, I never would have thought of that. 👏👏👏
How did he do this time Gavin?
That was ridiculous genius mode. Nice job.
I could of guessed air would be involved just by the hole in the block but damn you went fully in debth and it actually helped haha
How could you even think of that? Brilliant!

A very handsome head!
all he had to do was cover the second hole maybe so the bottom ball wont get sucked back in the way.
@@Wtfinc thats what I was thinking
When I see there are two holes for air and the metal balls need to move in opposite directions, I thought the intended solution requires some teamwork with Mrs. Puzzle.
This is the comment I was looking for. This was my thought - it's called 'r2-d2' as the name implies co-op.
I love this creator's puzzles, yes definitely show those other two please!
If any future puzzles require blowing or sucking, I think use of a drinking straw may make it easier to demonstrate.
The real Mr. Puzzle is in the comments!

im not sure thats gonna work tho

Seems like to me this would be a two-person puzzle strictly because of the name R2D2 (two-people). Seems like if two people are sucking out of the same time the ball will move through very easily
Puzzle should be called COVID -19
You can only go so far before the air inside is thin enough to counteract both of the SUCKS and then nothing will move
Great… the perfect puzzle to share with your friends during covid. 😂

What An Amazing Set Of Puzzles🧩 & Solutions…!!!! Keep up the Amazing Work. Kind Regards Nicholas🧔🏽♂️😺.
Hey have you tried spinning the entire puzzle in order to use centrifugal force to separate the large balls IDK just a thought
I've tried it - the problem is that even if you separate them, them what?
An alternative solution to the second one: can you put it vertically on the table, so the narrow ends point up and down; turn it so the trapped ball is in the upper half. Then briefly suck on the channel pointing up: this moves the upper large ball out of the way, the lower large ball should be out of the way because of gravity. This should let the small trapped ball fall down, shouldn't it?
I was absolutely blown (sucked) away by the brilliant solution.
I like the design of those puzzles. They would look interesting on a shelf next to each other. I totally want to see the others as well.
Hold it on its end and spin it perpendicular using centrifugal force to separate the large balls. Looks simple. No blowing necessary. Gravity and centrifugal force is all you need.
I want to see the other 2 puzzles as well! :D
This puzzle was an ingenius plot to get Mr Puzzles face on camera.
What was that at 9:23???
What if you were to hold it so the middle channel was vertical, and then sucked on the hole at the top?
If I'm not mistaken, I think you're holding the R2D2 upside down while sucking air, thereby losing your strength of gravity on both the small ball and second large ball. Plug your finger over the other hole while sucking. Make sure the puzzle is facing to the correct side so gravity is pulling down on all 3 balls. The solution should be a single suction and no jiggling or wiggling at all. A one suck solution. :)
Couldn't you put it upside down so the blocking balls are on the flat glass?
So gravity is not pulling the two larger balls toward the middle in their channels?
I personally think bouncing the ball through was a much better solution than the intended one lol
What if you put the little ball close to the larger balls and give it a spin the centrifugal force should split the larger balls apart and force the little ball past make sure to spin it in the right orientation. Use the channels orientation.
Finally was waiting for this one
As always amazing patience
Puzzles like these are awesome! Being a shade tree mechanic, these puzzles sometimes translates into mechanical skill. I thought of old automatic transmissions that would use check-balls (a ball bearing that blocks a passage and only allow one way fluid transfer)
I swear to god this is the first puzzle I've ever seen that requires mouth to solve.
"Think outside the box"
me: in the second puzzle, two men should be at both ends sucking air so the small ball can pass through.

I didn’t think of the blowing/sucking air, but I wondered whether the different thermal expansion properties of aluminum and steel might be used? Like, what happens if it’s placed in a freezer? Or warmed in the sun?
I feel like if the solution requires you to apply a suck/blow force, then you might as well be able to use a magnet.

Please solve the Schluessel and Wasserhahn puzzles in the next episode !
You can also spin the first puzzle around the axis going between the two big balls when the puzzle is standing vertical (long channel down)...
so, for the 2nd puzzle, what if you lied on your back and did the puzzle upside-down (while looking up at it)? So the balls all rolled on the flat plexi surface instead of falling into the indented "buckets"...?
Did not try on the second one because it already did not work on the first one

What about displacing the two bigger balls by spinning the puzzle, or hitting the desk with the bottom right corner when holding it at a 45 degrees angle?
Wouldn’t centrifugal force in an anti clockwise direction work to solve the r2d2 puzzle?
What if you try to solve it with the glass oriented towards the floor?
