were* yes :D btw it doesnt look thaaaat complicated to disassemble imo - but than again i just see the solution. therefore i have no idea how much time you had to spent to acually find it
"Assembles" ????? I've always assumed that they dropped to Earth from outer space, fully formed. Sent by some alien higher-level intelligence, having a really good laugh at the expense of us mere humans.
would definitely like to hear from the designer of this, it looks and moves like an ancient magical relic, I can't even imagine how they approached designing this thing.
Man, this puzzle took me soooo long. Several sessions just fidgeting with it for an hour or more. Even though I eventually solved it, I have no idea how the solution came about. There was some logic involved, but mainly frustrated jiggling.Taking it apart wasn't so bad, but getting it back together was the nightmare. I bought 10 different metal Hanayamas in a bundle and I've solved 4 so far.
That is pretty unbelievable! How do people even begin to conceive such a thing in all its complexity? How do you even begin to design something that is only 4 separate parts into something so complex and difficult. It is truly impressive. Thank you for showing us such an awesome puzzle and I’m totally impressed that not only you managed to solve it but you also were able to remember such a lot of complex moves in order to be able show us how to solve the puzzle in real time. You should be known now as not Mr Puzzle any more but either Professor Puzzle or the Puzzle Master.
I do software architecture, engineering and I bought a whole bunch of Hanayama puzzles to get my head into a 3D volume solving mode after watching all your puzzle videos (none of the solutions, that's my job haha). One thing I find super valuable is the ability to track state of a puzzle, but before that, one needs to be able to name pieces, and learn the uniqueness of each piece. I like watching your solves after I've solved it to find out the differences in the wordings you use to describe the parts, orientations (and where to hold), and moves. For example, I found the linked chain the most valuable moment to track orientation as I was nearly finished solving, so I tracked exactly how the chain was, but I did it differently than you: I laid the chain flat on the ground but made certain all the flat sides were facing upward, a simple slight rotation difference but otherwise same as yours. Also the orientation of the Hourglass (texture side vs flat text side) for insertion/removal moment of the Han piece. This way I tend to almost have the reassembly memorized by the time I get to the final solution. I find your videos tremendous, wonderful. Keep on puzzling, friend.
Thank you for the in depth tutorial. I had been stuck on the last step of disassemble and didn't even know on how to start putting it together. I'll make sure to save this video and rewatch it until I can fluently disassemble and reassemble this puzzle.
tell me who does not love a great puzzle to solve? thousands of thousand puzzles out there to be solved. there are never enough puzzles to solve in my opinion, shows how advanced our minds are or not. we need challenges in our lives this is how we learn. cheerz Mr. puzzle
Oh my god the design is brilliant! The solution is beautiful! You have to see them by how they rotate and twist as fluid movements to understand it better, it has beautiful pattern.
Hats of to you Mr puzzle for being able to solve these kinds of puzzles! I can tell you that i could never do this kind of puzzle but it's so enjoyable watching a master like you!
Very fluent explanation of a very difficult and complex solve. The hours of trial and error, sheer logic skill and memory are beyond my ability to imagine.
when you said. some people have trouble keeping up, and i was all like mmm he is underestimating people ... and then you continued with the steps. and i was all like ok, nevermind hahah
As someone who's into tech stuff, I find those kind of puzzles very fascinating. Thank you for your videos Mr.Puzzle, thank you for your puzzles Hanayama.
I got this puzzle for Christmas. I got super stuck, and by watching this, I was able to get back to the starting point because it was interlocked with two on each end (like a chain) and for the life of me couldn't get back to the starting point. After fiddling for the next few hours, I was able to get it to the point before you flip the thing up and around to put it back to the start. I finally got it, and it was 10000% luck. Now, I'm not even going to touch it for the rest of my life because it's way too hard. :')
You did better than me! Even with the cheat (on the internet, somewhere). I still never got it. Did you get it back together again? Or are you "done"? This puzzle makes me think those other puzzles, that I thought were tough. Now, I know those other puzzles, were easy. And I'll bet that Hanayama has even a more difficult puzzle he is just not releasing yet. I met a girl who solved this puzzle in 15 minutes. And she had never seen it before. She went through all my puzzles and solved them all. In a few minutes each. Somebody like her would pay big money for a puzzle she would find challenging. Hanayama could sell a difficult puzzle for a big price. And sell them fast. If I met a girl like that, there must be a lot of people like her.
Solving puzzles is one thing, getting into the mind of the maker to solve it. But I wonder the makers of these puzzles, wow. Creating something like this, just what is going in their minds
Great video! I finally (after an embarrassingly long time) managed to disassemble it, and I decided I didn't want to take hours to figure out how to put it together again. Thank you!
I was able to follow quite easily, but just from watching, I would have messed up the sequence a few times. The hardest part for me was getting it into a straight line, and into the two smaller pieces. They changed my perspective on how to approach the puzzle, otherwise I think the rest was do-able. Thanks for sharing this video with us :)
To solve this puzzle, I fastened the keys to one end and the other - solidly to my trousers. Now I live with my buddies. Anyone want a spare part for a puzzle for free?
An amazing puzzle that is made extremely well. As with all of the most difficult puzzles it makes you appreciate the genius of the person who thoughtfully created it.
Tell Jin-Hoo Ahn that you just sold one of his puzzles! Verified buyer on Amazon. Even though I saw you disassemble this puzzle I still can't get the first section apart. My first puzzle ever! Hope to buy more in the future.
Hi Mr Puzzle, I recently found your channel and I have binge watched nearly every one of your video's, I absolutely love them. I always loved puzzles since I was a child. Thank you so much for hours mindful entertainment.
The brilliant thing about these puzzles is how easy it looks when you're disassembling it. Just looking at the video I feel that I should be able to disassemble it within 5 minutes, but I'm sure I'm wrong.
The only thing I might suggest is if you didn't follow your directions and you were working on your own, you can enter the square condition in a few different configurations or order. So, it's really important to be in the exact order you show in your video. If you are not, these were a couple of steps needed to get myself in the correct order. I tried to do this for myself for over a year and finally gave in and watched your video. Fantastic video and thank you.
Picked this up tonight, had never done one from this series before and didn't know what to expect. I probably should have started at a lower level, lol.
This and the Hanayama Trinity puzzles are the only two I gave up on a looked up solutions. Great work being able to not only solve them but understand them enough to teach others.
A couple days ago, I spotted 5 hanayama puzzles in Walmart and just had to get one. Would have bought all 5 but didn't have the $50 to do so. So I settled on a level 3 puzzle. I don't have the box and don't remember the name of it though I can say it's the disassembly reassembly one with the man and woman symbols. I have to agree with your opinion of the hanayama puzzles. It feels very nice in the hands and is will made. Anyway, I didn't time myself but adding my fiddling with it last night and actively working on it today, I'd estimate it took me about 1 hour to solve it. I found the way the pieces are made with the various notches and subtle details is very ingenious. Now I REALLY want to go back and get the others. To bad I don't have the money to do it right now. ☹ Oh well. Maybe one day.
got this last week. thx for the reassembly help. i got the logic when i started putting it back, but missed a move. btw... the first opening move is smoother if you turn it upside down. hold top and left, pieces falling and it opens like cracking an egg. :D i just figured that out. still tryna quicksolve it. :)
I'm so thankful that I've discovered my sister likes puzzles. After her taking apart the Hanayama chain link in 20 mins, I thought I should give her a real challenge and bought her this instead. (I've even ordered the dozzie taven puzzle which you solved recently and that was even more of a head scratcher haha).
I love this puzzle. Even after watching this I’m going to buy it because this would still be a huge challenge for me to solve and get back together. I already have 5 in the mail lol guess I’m getting more.
Love your videos, very clearly explained, fascinating puzzles! I like how you credit the puzzle designer too, no doubt a lot of work has gone into creating this brilliant puzzle. Also congratulations on cracking this level 10 puzzle!
Excellent! Even watching you I noticed there were times when you would go the wrong way then stop and go the other way. This would be a good one for a "Beat the clock" self competition.
Who sits down and thinks,"Today I'm going to make a really difficult puzzle. It's going to be made of metal and be so hard to solve it will take days for mere mortals to unpick and take just as long to put back together. Now.....where did I put my crayons?"
Wow it has been a while we didn't see another 5 rating puzzle! And this one is awesome and with a nice theme being a hourglass. Extremely difficult indeed with all those twists! Good job and I hope you get to interview the creator and make a video. Thank you.
Hi Mr. Puzzle, thank you for the outstanding video! Would love to see a “Top 5” video where you share your five hardest puzzles! Maybe a top 5 of 2018 and/or of all time. No solutions needed, just a ranking and description would be great!
