We're going to start with Tyler's and then we'll go to this one Episode 64
Puzzle Time, Tyler, Tony. We're looking at puzzle boxes.
And, and metal, wire wire puzzle.
Yep. Yeah. What do you want to start with? Let's
start with the wire. Start with the wire? You want to start with that? Okay.
I think so. Fair enough. I like it.
This is the U-loop. It's a level nine from Jean-Claude Constantin.
Jean Claude doesn't do a lot of wire, hey? This one's.
It was good. I played... OK. I was playing with this before we shot today.
Took it apart,
realized I couldn't get it back together and had no idea how I got it apart.
You know, when you take puzzles apart and you're supposed to be like, "Oh yeah,
it's coming off right there". And you like, notice things.
I just completely didn't do that. Took it apart and like, Oh crap, I don't remember.
So, yeah. It's actually pretty unique.
Yeah, it was, Oh . Is that the idea? I tried, I tried to do that. That's what I tried to do.
Like, get the ball in there and then like spin it and then you get stuck. So no,
it's not. It's not it. It's technically not.
It's about going through... like the ball through the loop, like this. It's weird.
So you take it out like that and then like spin it or something and then bring
it over here. And then I don't know. It was weird.
Honestly, I was playing with it before and I got it stuck and....
There. See, technically, I think I got mine off.
There. What? What? It's weird,
You like punch the ball through the middle of the loop. I don't know.
It's a really strange puzzle. And like.
What do you mean, through the middle of the loop? I don't
know. It goes through here.
Like you push it through here and then like you move it up around here and then
push it through. And like, it's really weird. I dunno.
I went on a YouTube video and watched, a puzzle guy named Kevin Sadler.
He has a YouTube channel.
He shows solutions every so often to puzzles and I watched him solve it.
It was so strange. See, like now I got the wood thing off, but I can't...
I don't know. What did I do here? Or there we go. There, now it's apart.
So I think I've....
I think I might remember though, how to get it back on. So you put it here.
This first... I don't
remember now. This, this puzzle, just... Okay, take this one apart then. Okay.
So you got it here. So it was something like you go through there.
Or like through there and then.... Nope.
Hold on. It's a weird puzzle. It's just so strange. Okay.
So right. So it goes like this.
And then,
so then that ball comes out there and then you like turn it around
or something and then...
So then that ball comes out there and then you like turn it around or
something.
And then like one goes through there. No. Through like that.
and then I would just.... Oh, what?
It's super goofy. I know. That's cool. OK
You're just pushing the ball through that middle and then like weaving the other
one through. So that's the finish right there? Yeah, right there. It's so
It's weird. Wild. And you just push the ball through that middle. It's weird.
It's... I dunno. This puzzle, like, messed with my head.
I had to sit there for probably like 15 minutes with this video of him solving
and putting it back together before I even felt like it had some semblance of
like what was going on. That's really cool.
Now you have to do it on the other side.
So you only have one side because you have to get it so that it's through....
Right. Just hanging loose in there. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, wait. I think you have it.
You had it here. This way? You put it up,
there. No, that's out again. Okay. I have to go the other way.
You have to do... So,
you have to do one ball through and then you have to do the other ball through. Ahhh.
It's so goofy. And then like getting it back together. I don't know.
It's a level nine. I was surprised; I actually kind of half solved it. Like,
I mean... It's pretty cool. Obviously you have to get it apart and back together,
but three parts.
I thought it was a unique looking, too. That's kind of what drew me to this puzzle,
first. I was like, 'Oh, that kind of looks cool.
Like I'm not usually into the wire puzzles as much, but I thought it was neat too.
Like the gauge is different. So this is a thicker gauge.
This is a thinner gauge on this one. But Jean Claude Constantin.
There you go. So you do have...
you have it half. Now you have to get another... whatever ball you did, you do the
opposite one through that loop now. I dunno.
And then there was one point where I was doing the puzzle... Ahhh! Yeah see, and it comes back
off. Yeah, but that's.... That's super cool. U-loop. I liked it.
It was neat. Simple. We'll take that. We'll put that together later.
Next, you said puzzle boxes, right? Puzzle boxes. Yeah, we got three of them.
You solved that middle one? The middle one, yeah. Tony solved one of these already.
He was playing with it before we shot and solved it. It was easy.
So Puzzle Box Number One, Puzzle Box Number Two, Puzzle Box Number Three,
designed by Jean Claude Constantin. Made by Recent Toys.
I like this one better than number two already. It's got this little spring loaded
action here.
Puzzle Number one is a level eight.
Number two is a level nine and then level three or not level three.
Box three is a level 10. So it gets harder as you go up.
So you solved the level nine; nicely done.
I've been practicing,
He's practicing, just as he's shipping stuff to people, he's solving them. And yeah,
so there's lots of stuff going on.
This one I thought had the most movement kind of. Hey, like it has that spin out and
then you can see there's another something there.
There's stuff there on that one. This one, this one...
Now this third one is unique a bit and I'm not going to be able to ruin it for
you, but there is a unique move in this puzzle box that is
unlike other puzzles. Won't go any further than that,
but it has a really unique movement. It's the hardest one.
So give us a bit about what's what's on yours.
I just got the spring loaded action here. That's all that's going on.
So I'm thinking that yeah. That's it. And then is there a lid or not? No,
I don't think so. No lid? So I was thinking that this goes in and pops out,
so there's gotta be figuring out how to drop the pin.
So there's probably some sort of pin or ball or something. Yeah. Okay. So this one,
this one has a lot more pieces on it.
This one's got a little drawer here,
you can see. And you can actually see through the puzzle. If I look through here,
if you look through up here, you can actually... right there,
you can kind of see through the whole puzzle to the other side.
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh man.
You kind of got it.
See then this one has this little flippy piece right here too.
It looks like a little piece here.
It seems to move back and forth there.
What else? Oh, and then there's... Look at... There's a little pin here, a piece here.
You can see there's a pin. Look at that right there.
You can see the pin underneath, that's going up. Oh yeah. And there's another button here.
Oh, and this one's spring loaded. That button, right there is spring loaded. Okay.
This one... I think this one looks the neatest. It has the most stuff going on with it,
for sure. I found a mini maze underneath it. There is a maze.
So it's probably a marble maze then. Is there a marble maze? It's gotta
be stuck on a pin. Cause no matter where it goes, can't st....
Is there a marble you can feel in there though at all? Ah, yeah. Or is it a pin?
Is it a marble?
I think it's a marble and it's halfway right now. And it's stuck on a magnet.
Uh huh. Yeah. Okay. Here show this one.
You solved Puzzle Box Two already. Let's go. Let's see this.
I went all the way open. All the way open.
Make a little bit of space; all the way closed.
Think I gotta hold it upside down, maybe? I don't know.
Did you do upside down? I don't think you did upside down before. I don't think I did either.
Okay.
Puzzle Box Two has defeated Tony, but you did solve it.
You did solve this one at one time.Twice; two times. I'm gonna try.
I'm gonna try it here. Okay.
Okay.
I like the top on these. I think these are really nicely designed,
but I think that's kind of the thing with a lot of these Recent Toys,
Jean Claude reproductions, that they're like just.... they're really nicely designed.
I like how they, they look good. They have cool packaging.
Yeah, I'm not getting this one.
That's all good. We'll put them back to
There's definitely. Yeah, you can feel that. That moves a bit.
Now close it up and see if you can. Close it up and then what?
Now try to get that bottom layer. I don't know.
Okay. Well, let's just leave it there. We're not going to solve these. Okay.
There we go. Puzzle Box One,
Two and Three from Recent Toys. Designed by Jean Claude Constantin. They're
level what? Eight? Nine, no, eight, nine, 10. So cool. Yeah.
Awesome. Yeah.
So, next, riddle.
Okay. Riddle. Okay. I read it earlier. I've been thinking about it.
Alright so here's the riddle: I have no keys. I have keys,
but no locks and space, but no rooms.
You can enter, but you cannot go outside.
So I have keys, but no locks and space,
but no rooms. You can enter. You cannot go outside.
Think about the positive things. I'm going to give you a hint.
I think about the positive things: keys, space and enter.
It's kind of a hint. Take some time. Think about it.
Let's move on to Online Buzz. I've been trying. I've been trying. Okay. Online Buzz.
Yeah. We're ready. Okay. So I was browsing
around YouTube. Browsing. Browsing,
yes.
But I came on to.... One of my favorite guys recently that I've come on to is, a
guy named, Make Anything. He does 3d printing. He does some cool puzzles.
I really like his stuff and he had this cool one.
I think it's something he designed,
it sounds like. It's a game and it's called Tippy Tree. So you have this,
3d printed base. There's like a, like a kind of a base like this.
And then it comes up into this like tree here, like the tree stump. Gotcha.
And then you build; you have green pieces that are like,
it's this weird shape that fits together apparently in 60 different ways into
itself. Okay. Right. So you get two of them.
They can fit together 60 different ways. Really neat.
And they're called the leaves.
And so what you gotta do is you got to fit these on the tree. And you have a partner,
you have two of you.
So you're playing against each other and you split the leaves.
So you have like a darker colored leaf and I have a lighter colored leaf. Okay.
And then were the ideas to stack them on. So it's a stacking balancing game.
So you stack them onto the tree and you got to balance it. If any of them fall,
the person who, who made them fall gets those leaves. Oh, I see. The idea is to
get rid of all your leaves.
So the first person get rid of all their leaves, wins.
It seems like an extension of that drinking game.
You ever play the one with the bottle and the deck of cards.
And you start with the first card and then the next person got up,
put another card on top. And then you end up with this big,
like circle balancing on top of the bottle. How does drinking come into this?
I don't know. Whoever tips it.
Okay, fair enough. Yeah. It would be like that. It could be a drinking game,
but yeah, it's called Tippy Tree. Check it out. I,
I hope we get it here at Puzzle Master. I'd love to be able to check it out. That'd be cool.
Cause it looked cool. Yeah. Make Anything does really good stuff
and his videos are great. So definitely check out his channel.
I also came across another one. Now, Make Anything, has lots of stuff. He's big.
He has, like, he's pretty fancy. Some of these other guys though,
the videos that I come across, are like small ones, where they..... Like that one
we did last,
last week where the guy had like one video and it just had a bunch of
views. There's another one like that. A guy named David Hocherman.
I don't know David Hocherman, but he had a puzzle box, which is really cool.
And it's a, it's called.... The video was called 46 Move Puzzle Box.
Nice. And it, he creates this wood puzzle box. It's kind of cool
finish on the outside of his stuff. And he essentially made... Like, you know,
those Japanese puzzle boxes, you move something. Yeah, yeah, got ya. So you can move a part on the lid.
This whole box was big and it had little like,
square pieces on the sides and he could move them all and eventually he'd move
them, move and move them. And then...
The cool thing that was different about,
different about this than the Japanese puzzle boxes is that he, at one point,
had this like letter E looking key. Okay. And then
push it in the side and then it allowed you to move more stuff on the one side.
And then he opened the box. So it took 30 moves, to open the box. Inside
that was another of those three letter E key, that letter E key.
So he put both of those letter E keys, into the one side and that allowed him to move a
few more things.
And then the base comes off and there was another like compartment underneath. Nice.
Okay. It's a really cool video. I think it'd been up,
it'd been posted in like 2014 or 15. So it'd been up for a long time. Cool.
Check it out. It was really neat. I liked it.
And then last, but not least, Tony and me watched the video by Loki Kross.
And we've seen his stuff before. Tell us a bit about this
puzzle box called: Free Me Eight.
Oh, that was a lot of videos ago. It was a coin in the bottom.
Yeah. Coin in the bottom. Coin in the bottom, right. The top had a,
What was all on top?
Lizards. It's like those three, like interlocking lizards or something. Yeah.
Well there's like five lizards.
There's three in the center and then a couple off to the side and then,
you would take them off. And so a sequential discovery
box. Sequential discovery. First
one's got a magnet on it. Second, one's got a post on it.
The third one's got like a key hole or something.
Yeah, it moves up and down; the third lizard did. Yeah.
Flip the top open, then there's a side that comes out,
slide the box. There's a few moves.
Kinda cool. Yeah, it was cool. It was unique. I think this Loki Kross guy gets
like some really cool stuff.
This was by a guy named JGT Puzzler; a guy named Joseph Turner, apparently.
So yeah. I dunno. It seems like something like, that's hard to get.
I think he bought it at like an auction or something. Yeah.
So that's kind of what it seemed like. Yeah, he said it was hard to get,
so I imagine it's something that was made a while back. But yeah,
if you could find it. He did a limited run, too. Free Me Eight. Yeah, it could be.
I liked it though. It was unique. It was well-made
and sequential discovery is always popular. I mean,
everybody loves a good sequential discovery puzzle. True, true, true. So, yeah. That's it.
That's all I got for Online Buzz. Yep. So yeah,

Time to solve the riddle. Tony, what do you got?
I have no idea. You've actually impressed me, when we've had these riddles.
You've had some pretty good guesses.
Like at first I was thinking about a cave for a while and then like space
itself. Right. Umhm.
So I have no keys. I have keys, but no locks and space,
but no rooms. You can enter,
but you cannot go outside. Imagination. No.
Well that's not really on the right track. Okay.
So what has keys, space and enter?
Or an enter button? Oh, the internet. No,
it's a keyboard. I have keys, but no locks and space,
but no rooms. And you can enter, but you cannot go outside. A keyboard.
Yeah, I like that one. Okay.
That was hard.
I didn't think it was going to be more of like a physical thing then.
Yeah,
usually that.... I think that's usually what these riddles get at, hey.
Like they're not physical things.
Usually, it's like some idea or something that like... Yeah.
It's like word plays on the things, right. This one was word plays,
but it turned out to be a physical thing. Okay. So
keyboard.
