a Try Not To Fail: Puzzles and Brain Teasers.
- Ooh, ooh! - Obsessed.
- Ugh. - Try Not To Fail?
Okay.
- Way to pinpoint my self-consciousness and insecurities!
- Oh, I love that.
- I'm gonna suck at those. - No!

I'll get some points, but... - I like some puzzles.

I feel like I can kinda... - Yeah.

Congratulations.

- To be fair, a lot of these things, for me personally,

Button mashing, just like, eh, eh, eh got it!

- (woman) My boyfriend put his credit card inside this puzzle box,
and gave it to me.
Bad news for him, I'm really good at puzzle boxes.
- Yeah. - (React) So what are your thoughts?
Any strategies? - Yes.
- I feel like she knows exactly what this is.
- But I can't say, I can't say!
- That, because she's competitive. She won't even help me.
- Okay, I'll give you a hint. We're looking for something hidden.
- I'm, that's what I'm assuming. It's a box. (laughs)
- Open box! (laughs)
(Jayse laughs)
Well, I'm looking at it just to like try to memorize
how it's chillin', vibin', sittin' right now,
and it looks like there's three-ish layers,
with a cut down the middle,
so I guess I'll see how it moves, when I touch it.
- (React) Jayka, it looks like you're just excited
to just get into it. - I'm like...
- I'm just like, I'm... - I can take it apart,
I don't know about putting it back together.
- That's the part that I'm scared of now.
- It looks simple on the outside,
but I bet once you take it apart,
it's gonna be like a mess.
- Well, I know I can't just brute force this one,
'cause I think if I break it, it'll be more noticeable.
- It'll be obvious. - So I'm gonna try to
maneuver it with some softer, gentler hands.
- (React) Three, two, one, go!
- Alright.
- I can't even take it apart, that's the problem.
- (React) Hmm, but you can get mad.
- It's frustrating, 'cause you feel... - (screams) There you go. (laughs)
- ...like it should just be sliding.
- (React) You just can't fail.
- Stop talking like you know what's going on!
- I, well, that's the thing, is you can tell
which parts of this adjust, it's just how does each part adjust?
- (React) I just want you to open and close the box.
- It's not as simple as it sounds!
Hold on.
- Are you sure we can take these apart?
(Ulises laughs)
- (React) Yeah.
- I did it. - (React) That's not taking it apart.
- What do you mean? (both laugh)
(buzzer rings) - Huh?
- Okay, that's apart. (bell rings)

Now maybe I'll be able to slide this out.
- Yep, see.
- (woman) Definitely not, you can see that little peg in there.
I have to release that peg. - That's what I did.

Maybe it has to be at better angle.

rotate it all the way facing down.

- It just somehow worked. (laughs)
- Wait, what the hell did she do?
I missed that!
- Oh, yeah, that's what I did, I think I was going like this.
Oh yeah, I did shake it, and then I just pulled it down,
and then it opened.
(React laughs)
- Oh [censored], I did it!
- No!
- Don't, as you're pulling it. - There we go.
- Oh.
- Oh, so you have to knock on it,
to remove this peg.
- I don't remember what I did, but I did it somehow.
- Oh, okay. (laughs)
- Yeah. - There you go.
- Shaking it? That's not even a puzzle.
- Tah-dah! - That's a fact.

Then if we take the three pieces,

This, it's like squiggly. It's not like an actual puzzle.
- Yeah.
- This is way too hard.
- So none of the pieces actually fit into each other entirely.
So we know that much.

that makes it hard. - Yeah, I'm just like...

Your goal is to fit five pieces into one tray.
This is another puzzle by Yuu Asaka, a Japanese designer.
You can try fitting all the pieces in a normal way, vertically.

- It's like a recap of our... - Of our adventures.
- Of our try.
- (man) I can try moving the pieces around,
but no, the last piece just won't fit.
- See, this is what you said to do.
You said to visualize it on the side,
and I just couldn't grab my hand around that.
I was like nah.
- (man) These three pieces together, they form a really nice sequence.
- That's what we did.
- We got that. - Yeah.

- Poorly! - Really bad.
None of us... No one got points!
- What was your favorite puzzle out of all of those?
- The one that I passed. The blocks.
(Ulises laughs) That was the best one.
It was great, it was fantastic.
- Yeah, I like the peg one, 'cause I knew that,
it made the most sense to me, that's why I liked it the most.
- I hated that one, I thought it was awful.
I was trying to get it out. (Jair laughs)
- This one right here. It calms me down when I'm doing it.
When I'm concentrating,
and I'm trying to figure something out like that,
like it terms of fitting, and shapes and stuff,
it calms me down, and makes me really,
highly, tunnel vision, concentrated.
- The box was fun, 'cause you just gotta shake it.
- Yeah, and I like the spinner one, just 'cause like,
that's how you release the pegs was by spinning it,
just the ingenuity, I don't know, I just thought it was really cool.
