Hello, and welcome to Puzzle Master. This is the Puzzle Guy. And in this video,
I will show you how to solve Pandora's Elpis puzzle.
This puzzle was made by Project Genius.
It has difficulty level eight out of 10 on Puzzle Master's difficulty scale
that runs from five to 10 and the object of the puzzle is to take it
apart and to assemble it again.
Pandora's Elpis is made of wood and it has 12 parts.
And at first glance, it looks very difficult and it is a difficult puzzle.

keep watching the video. And now I will show you how to solve the puzzle.
So, first of all, while the puzzle is still assembled,
take a closer look at the design of the puzzle.
You will see that on each side, four parts,
put together in such a way that they form a cross.
So this is a very important part when you will be assembling back.
Just keep in mind that you have to keep this cross on each side.
And now let's find two parts that are moving. These are the parts.
So put the puzzle like this; move these two parts to the side,
and now you will be able to remove the first part.
The second part is going to be exactly the same part on the bottom.
And it fell down. Next,
you can remove this part.
And the bottom part that is exactly like this, you can move it out, as well.
Actually, now the puzzle can fall apart pretty easy.
So now what we have to do is to find similar parts.
So that's going to be these two parts.
Next, this part is similar, as well.
Where is another one? There are four parts like this; we will put them aside.
There are two parts that look like this.
We'll put them aside as well.
There are two parts that look like this,
and there are two parts that have
this design
and two more parts that look like this.
Now it's going to be a little bit easier to solve the puzzle,
since we have parts in groups.
Now we have to figure out how to start to solve the puzzle.
These are going to be four parts that we're going to start with,
and we have to figure out the way,
how to put them in such way that later we will form
a cross, as I told you.
So let's see
if I put these parts together that looks like
they're facing this direction and and forms a cross.
If I put these two parts here.
Nope, not like this.
If I put them this way and put them
together,
you will see that we can create a cross. Okay.
So that means that we are doing something right. Okay.
We'll put these two aside and we will start with these two.
Next, find these two parts
and one part right here.
And the other part will go on top like this.
So next, grab these two parts
and you have to put one part like this.
You will see that there is a gap between parts.
That is what we need to fit all other parts. And this part,
you have to put it right here on top.
Next,
grab these two parts, that look exactly the same as the two parts on the bottom
and put them right here on top. So this is the first one,
and this is the second one,
but keep the gap between these parts.
So now it's a little bit easier to rotate it. Next,
what I usually do,
I grab the puzzle like this and hold it with my left hand.
And now we have to stick the rest of the parts inside.
So I'll start with this part,
put it inside and to the left. The other part,
that looks exactly the same,
we have to put it from the other side, but again,
keep it in such a way that you don't break the design.
That you keep the cross on top.
So it's going to be like this. I keep it this way.
And we have only two parts left. Those are these two parts.
And I will start with this piece. I think that I
have to stick it like this.
Let's see if I put it this way. We will be..... Yeah,
I will be able to close it later.
So the next piece is going to be this one and I have to fit it
from the other side. And now we can move these two parts inside
and the puzzle is assembled. So as you can see,
the assembling part is much more difficult than the disassembling.
And if you don't remember the design,
as I told you at the very beginning,
you will spend a lot of time trying to assemble it since
it's going to be quite difficult to imagine what is going to be the final shape
of the puzzle. If you like Pandora's Elpis puzzle and you want to buy it,
