We opened random boxes today. This is what we found.
The Four Knot by Oskar van Deventer. It's a wooden puzzle,
three D printed wooden puzzle. And it has a very
interesting secret about it.
You'll have to watch later to find out. And the Clue Box,
an escape room in a box. Different keys, different clues.
Solve your way out of this escape room in a box. B-roll. B-roll.
Welcome to today's episode Puzzle Time with Tony and Tyler. He's Tony.
I'm Tyler
Hat day again.
It is, it is.
We are shooting, while we're unboxing some puzzles here. Yeah, we've got a,
we got a whole new shipment.
There's 50 new boxes in the back that we haven't had time to fill up with
because puzzles are selling like crazy.
Yeah. Who would have guessed. People in quarantine, just... doing puzzles... doing puzzles.
Jigsaw puzzles, brain teasers. Hanayama stuff.
Yeah. Nonstop shipping. Since this quarantine has started.
Yeah. Yeah. But um, yeah, yeah.
So we got some new stuff. Not even on the site yet.
So we'll give you a little sneak peek.
Some 3D printed. Should we start with the 3D printed ones? Yeah, we will go with this. Yeah.
So this is Oskar van Deventer's
three D printed puzzles. How many were there? Like six or seven of them.
There was a bunch. There were some mazes. A couple of mazes.
We picked this one because we've had this floating around the office for awhile.
Just a single one and it wasn't in for sale, but
we've got it here for sale now. Yeah. Super cool. Yeah, it is really unique.
And...[inaudible] So it's called the Fourknot. Hey?
Yeah. By Oskar
van Deventer. Fourknot is a five piece... five piece puzzle?
Wow. Four knots. Five pieces. Okay. Assemble puzzle.
The goal is to make a loop.
The ends of the parts have magnets to keep the puzzle together and little
dents and holes for alignment.
The puzzle was 3D printed on my new Dutchy printer using a material called
3D printed wood. It actually, it's,
it is actually transparent PLA with a lot of very fine mahogany woodgrain mixed
into it. This makes the puzzle smell of scorched wood. Smell it.
Oh, it does a nice smell. Oh it does. That's nice.
Yeah. I chose this material because of its rough rope-like look.
The puzzle takes 7 hours, 13 minutes to print,
23.7 meters of filament and some time to clean up to glue in the five by five by
five millimeter magnets and to assemble.
So I would imagine you would print this like all as one and then like cut it and
then put, cause there's little magnets in the bottom. Yeah.
And then put the magnets in after? Like, I guess you'd have to,
or do you think those are three D printed, too? Does he shave those down or like how
does he make those bumps?
I think that all would be three... be 3D printed, those bumps? I would think so.
Yeah. So like there's,
there's bumps in there that are like little round circular things that obviously
fit in together. And I think the point of that is so that the,
the magnet, right, doesn't...
when the magnet... it could slide if it wasn't for that.
That it stops sliding side to side, right?
But I imagine that... like, cause this would be the male end, right?
The part with the lumps and then that would be the female end.
But I imagine that some of the magnets are flipped opposite ways on a bunch of 'em.
Yeah, that's what we... that's what we were told. So like here, look.
These two females or they don't attract right? Now I wonder...let's go like this.
So let's try it here. Male to male or male to female. There. It does.
So it does. Okay. But the male and female ends don't attract.
So you can't put it together. Otherwise, I imagine maybe you could like flip it,
right? It'd be like... kind of go together.
Ok, like the whole point of this is to make just one loop. That's the goal?
Well that's a... it's a continue... Like you follow it. There's no end. Oh, ok. I see what you're saying. I was thinking,
like a big circle. No, no. It's continuous. Right?
So just... I was thinking about this guy's picture at the bottom here. Oh, look at that.
So then maybe you could make that, yeah, I don't know.
This is it in it's solved state then? This is. Okay. Yeah. Cool.
Apparently it's quite hard. So Oskar himself said it's quite hard.
And the interesting thing is you will not find this puzzle for sale anywhere
else.
This is an exclusive handmade by Oskar on his three D printer,
a puzzle. For Puzzle Master. We're the only person selling it, even
Oskar's not selling this, so...
And so yeah, it's quite hard.
Like I imagine when you take it all apart and see it in its individual pieces,
this is going to be a hard puzzle. Like, I mean,
I can take pieces off and obviously see where it goes back on, but you know,
like disassemble this whole thing? I don't know.
That sounds pretty hard to me. I don't know what it's going to be....
What level do you think it's going to be? I'll, I'll pick a solid eight. Yeah?
Yeah? I'd go maybe nine even. Maybe nine? Yeah, maybe. Yeah,
that's the Oskar Fourknot. Exclusively made for Puzzle Master by Oscar van Deventer
himself. So... Right. Yeah. At the time of shooting here,
it's not on the site. We don't have a level for it. So,
you're getting the inside scoop as we shoot this. Okay.
We opened up a random box and had no idea what was
in it. But we found these super cool boxes. Clue Box,
Clue Box. By ID venture? I D Venture? So this is German,
right? All of it's in German, I assume it says "Achtung" on the bottom.
So... 60 minutes, 13.. ages 13 plus.
And it is an escape room box. Escape room in a box or escape room box?
Escape room in a box, it says, but I imagine escape room box. So I thought...
I have no idea what this even is. So let's...
Oh, geez. Oh wow. Okay. Dude. Ok, so check,
check this. This is cool. This is cool. Okay,
so did you play with the arrows like the Hanayama Arrows? Yep. Okay,
so the bottom of this is the same as those Hanayama Arrows.
Interesting. Is there instructions here? Here you keep working, through that.
I'll read this. Okay. 1935 Vienna, an Austrian physicist,
Erwin Schrodinger conducts experiments in the area of quantum mechanics and
demonstrated that it can be applied to everyday objects. In his experiment,
a cat and a portion of poison were put into a box.
Quantum mechanics says that after a while the cat will be both alive and dead.
Unfortunately Schsrodinger, due to his busy-ness,
completely forgot about the cat. We're sure the cat is still alive.
Now is the time to rescue it.
So there's a cat inside there or something? I am feeling confident about this.
Oh, look at that. Oh, you got them all together. Okay. Do I need to twist them now this...?
Oh, oh, dude. You've got to flip the arrow! The opposite way?
Yeah. Oooh. So now it's pointing the opposite way of mine?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it is. Okay.
But now what does that unlock? Does that point this way? Ok so If I point it this way,
Can you move that? The cog here? No. No.
These have moved on you, too. Let's see if any of the other ones say something.
No. Maybe on the bottom?
Dude...Did you notice they line up with their symbols here. very interesting. When it's...
Okay, never mind. And they line up with symbols here.
A key, a ring, a magnet, a little explosion, a light bulb and a gear.
Okay. And also those shapes are on this gear up top here, as well. Oh yeah.
So I imagine...Ok.
So you'll have to figure out this back piece to then put... What?!
Wait a minute! What fell out?. Oh, it's this piece.
What? It unlocked this piece. Interesting. Okay. So I moved the arrow around. K,
don't change yours, though cause we got to put this all back, eventually. Ya, I won't.
So we turn this that way. We flipped it this way.
Oh, the one stone came out.
[laughter] You're solving it. You're getting pretty far into it.
Why is it just shaking out?
Huh? Oh,
cause they all fit in. They just fit in like this. Oh,
so it's just like it's a turn... Dude... and then it comes out,
See now, look, look, look. There's holes now all around the box.
Lookit, there's one there. I bet you those keys fit in.
Okay. Oh, okay. Here we go. Okay, so this one's got one hump here, right?
One little hump. And this one's got one, two, three, four, five. Okay,
so put the, put the one in here. There's one, two, three, four or five on here then.
Hey, is there an out arrow on that side, too? No, just this side. Hmm. Okay.
Well, okay,
so we got the keys. It unlocked
whatever this is.
Well, let's really just leave it there.
We don't want to solve the whole thing for everyone. Very cool. That's pretty cool.
So this is called what? Clue Box
by iDventure.
I wonder if we have more of these?
Like we just kind of... we opened the top of the box.
We didn't actually get too far into it,
so I wonder if there's more stuff then.. more puzzles like this.
Now we always kinda throw a bit of a segment in here of the different stuff
happening on social media. There's a few different ones.
So Puzzle Guy did this one called Triangle Ring Three.
It's by Pelikan, designed by Osanori
Yamamoto and is a really awesome one. It's, I want to think the,
it's kind of like this frame and you've got to fit those little square pieces into
it. Um, yeah, really neat.
Oskar van Deventer does the one I was talking about, the fractal...
it's called Fractal Maze and it's three D printed.
So it's where... if you want to watch that, actually, it's got some of the
information on this, this Four Knot. It's got some of the...
just how, how he 3D prints this stuff.
And he talks a bit about what some of the substances. He actually has...
So this one's wood and mahogany. It's... he has one that's copper.
So there's one that's, it's like, instead of wood being mixing,
there's like a copper powder.
And so he said it's about seven times more expensive than the regular printing
material. But... kind of neat. Yeah.
And then Chris Ramsey actually does one of the Popplocks.
So that's by Rainier Popp. It's like the T locks. So he does T8.
It is... you've got to watch that one, man. It's, it's a crazy expensive lock.
I think they regularly, when they come out,
they retail for about $1500. And this is the eighth edition.
I think we're onto, like the 12th edition, coming out here.
But he just does limited runs of each of them and then moves on to the next... and they're super hard to get.
So it's originally a $1,500 puzzle. I think Chris paid just under $3000 for it.
So, awesome, awesome puzzle. You've got to see the solution. It is,
it is like nothing else I've ever seen. And then, a dude named, Rick Lax,
you probably seen him doing magic stuff before, but he's been shooting some,
some puzzles, on Facebook. So, you should check it out.
He does the Hanayama King Chess piece. I think it actually...
he doesn't actually solve it on video, by himself,
but he gets the solution and then he shows you it and it's really cool one.
And so the Hanayama Chess Piece it's by, yeah, by Rick Lax and some Facebook.
So he does a whole bunch of videos. You should definitely check him out there.
But also check us out on Facebook. We are on there.
There is a Hanayama puzzle group. If you guys like Hanayama stuff,
there is really... it's really active actually. There's like 650 people on there,
I think right now, the Hanayama group...
We are also on Instagram and then this is our YouTube channel.
So subscribe, hit the little bell to get notifications when we put up new videos like
this one. Alright. So yeah, that's today's episode.
Thank you for watching.
