Hey, it's Aaron. And today we'll be going through the solution for Ballerina.
This puzzle is a level nine on the Puzzle Master difficulty scale.
This puzzle and many others are available at
puzzlemaster.ca. Oh boy.
So I would consider this to be a dexterity puzzle.
We have six pieces,
I believe, that intersect each other at various angles.
They're all the same piece. So to open it,
we'll just kind of grasp into like two of these corners and we
can just kind of see it, start to move.
And it becomes a mess. I'm going to warn you guys,
this is going to be a rough one.
This is a very hard dexterity puzzle, as we can see,
every piece is absolutely identical.
I'll maybe zoom out a little bit.
Okay. So
I'm just going to shuffle these to the side and we're going to start off
by intersecting two pieces like so,
and we're going to find our third piece.
It's going to intersect like this.
So we're going to
take this piece to the precipice of not being lined up.
We will put this piece in;
we will kind of finagle it and it will go
together. Halfway done.
Just kidding. This is where it gets really difficult.
Okay. Our next piece will be this one.
So now we have to undo this one,
to just before the point where it falls apart.
This will be difficult
and this will be a reoccurring theme throughout this whole puzzle.
It is amazingly difficult.
And from what I can tell, there's no easy solution to this.
So we're gonna place this, like so,
and it goes in.
We're going to be more or less focusing on spreading this one ball that we
started with at the very beginning, because it's an easy point of holding it.
But as we go on, it's going to become harder and harder.
So we're going to find our piece for our next piece
and it will go in, like so.
So we will keep it in position and
we will carefully
spread this again.
And as I said, it's going to get difficult.
We will want to be very careful
and
try to angle everything, so it tries to stay straight on.
So this piece already wants to give up on being part of this
whole deal.
And we'll just kind of brace it where we need to
and angle it so that gravity's our friend.
And we will
try to sneak this piece in.
I really wish there was an easy solution for you guys, but this is,
this is what it is. It is an extremely hard dexterity puzzle.
So I've kind of angled that piece into it. And I'm just going to
make sure everything's still lining up. And here we go.
Our last piece, and this is by far the hardest part of this puzzle.
Now we need to spread this again.
And
you will want to take as much time as you need.
I have made this look amazingly easy.
I actually am shocked at how well this has gone so far.
And if there was going to be a point where this puzzle is just going to explode
and break apart, this is it. Take your time; brace it.
There's a lot
of pieces going on; make sure everything stays true.
And this has to be open quite wide.
I'm kind of giving a claw hand on the underneath,
and I'm trying to just
stick my fingers, wherever I can
to try to brace it.
There's a little bit of slack, but if you go too far,
the whole thing is just going to explode on you. And then it's all over.
I'm not even close to how far I need to be open.
You might be able to use the table a little bit,
but
I think having your fingers kind of all shoved in there is probably your best bet.
I'm going to kind of just torque that in.
And I'm not in here. So I actually... which is okay.
I'm hoping that I can spread it and it will just drop.
And I'm just going to carefully continue to spread it and try to keep everything
true. The second, any piece is further than another, it's done.
You're going to be chasing it.
So just carefully spread it.
We're quite a bit further.
I'm going to try to just shove my fingers wherever I can.
Continue to true up everything. This is a process. Don't rush it.
There is no fancy cool way of doing it.
You just need to....
and don't apply a lot of force on to anything.
Once you become untrue....
Once these pieces decide to sit at angles with each other,
or one goes too far, you'll be starting over.
And
this is a two handed process at this point.
You will want to do as well as you can,
to manipulate all pieces evenly. Okay?
So this is what I'm talking about.
Now, this piece went
too far.
I'm going to try to spread everything and just sneak that in,
but it will probably just undo somewhere else.
Let gravity, be your friend. And we got it.
This could be a level 10. To be real honest, this is, this is a very,
very, very hard dexterity puzzle. Take your time with it.
Be patient. You'll get it.
