- Yo, what's up guys, welcome back.
Today, a special puzzle video.
I'm in Vegas, I made it.
Made it.
Super happy to be here, hanging out with my friends,
getting content for you guys
and that's why we're here today.
Do you guy's remember a few weeks back
I had a puzzle contest with Wes, Eric, and Alec,
to see who can open the level one puzzles the quickest.
Well, today we're doing that and winner gets $1000,
whoever opens it the quickest.
But, catch is, will be one puzzle and it's a level two.
This is the cast dot.
The cast dot is, basically, composed of two pieces
that you have to take apart and put back together.
It sounds easy enough, but, as you know,
with cast Hanayama puzzles, they can be a bit difficult.
It's beautifully made, nice little trinket,
fun little thing to play around with.
Definitely a fidget toy.
Actually, I'm just fidgeting with it right now,
think I just opened it.
We're gonna get into Wes being the first contender on this.
By the way, look at the size of this walk-in closet.
Can you imagine, like I wake up and I'm just like,
(delicate music)
getting a t-shirt,
getting my shorts,
looking for my socks.
This seems like the worst idea ever, but it's massive,
it's huge, the house is big, you guy's are gonna see some
b-role of that later on this week if you stay tuned.
But without further ado, we're gonna get onto it.
And I gotta go get my buddy Wes, for this one.
So here we go.
Wes Barker.
Alright, this is Wes Barker.
Oh my god.
- Hey, undisputed puzzle champ.
- Look what he's wearing.
You made that?
- [Wes] Yes.
- That is hilarious.
- [Wes] Here, a little homage to the pyramid.
- [Chris] Oh my god, look at this shirt.
- It's my new merch.
Hey don't forget.
- [Chris] Subscribe to Wes, if you couldn't read this.
(laughing)
Dude, this guy comes prepared,
that's why I appreciate him so much.
Alright Wes, your puzzle.
Looks pretty easy, two parts man, two pieces.
- One puzzle, two pieces.
- [Chris] Two pieces, easy.
Timer starts in three, two, one, lets go.
- Just like that.
Alright, just like that.
Don't force it.
- [Chris] We want some narration here.
That'd be good for a video.
- Sorry.
- [Chris] You decided to just turn it on for a second.
- Yeah.
It doesn't make sense because there's only two pieces,
and only moves in two different ways so,
come apart.
That's what I'm thinking.
I thought this was gonna fall apart.
Man.
I don't know why that happened though.
I don't know why that happened
and I don't know how to get it the, whoa.
Oh I can taste the money.
I just, now I'm panicking.
I'm actually scared now because I feel like I'm gonna win
if I do this quickly.
I don't remember how to put it back.
- [Chris] Putting it back is usually the hardest part.
Especially if you got there randomly.
- Yeah.
Oh no.
- [Chris] Wes, you're at a minute and a half.
- That's not bad.
- [Chris] That's a great time.
- So how's this supposed to fit?
- [Chris] Stop fumbling around and do it properly.
- Oh man, I'm so nervous now.
Cause when I accidentally got there,
they're gonna get there accidentally to.
- [Chris] Knowing Alex.
- Okay.
(soft music)
I don't remember.
(sighs)
- [Chris] So funny to see you so triumphant.
- I was so happy for a second.
- [Chris] And then, literally as time is fleeting,
so is your confidence and your smile.
Your excited smile is turning to nervous laughter.
- I don't remember what it looked like.
- [Chris] If you get to five minutes, I'll give you a clue.
Actually, I have no clue.
I've never done this before. - You've never done this.
No.
- You don't even know if it's gonna be..
- [Chris] How bout, after all this is done,
I try to solve it real quick.
- To get your money back? - Yeah.
Not after you've watched us do it.
How did I?
Oh, I was so happy, so happy.
My hands are sweating now too.
This it what I've done, I panicked, and now,
panicking never helped anybody.
- [Chris] It doesn't look to me that you're to far off,
but I don't know.
You gotta be more attentive when your..
We're at four minutes 15.
We went from like a minute solved.
- I know.
I'm not even so mad about the money,
I just don't wanna give up my belt.
- [Chris] That's a good point.
It's a good looking belt.
It really is a good looking belt.
Okay, it's five minutes, I can give you a clue,
I can show you what it looks like finished.
If that helps.
- Yeah, I kinda remembered that.
If I just slowed down when I took it off,
I would of been able to put it back on, I bet you.
This is so good, dude.
I thought this was gonna be so easy.
- [Chris] Coming up on six minutes.
- This is longer than all three, last time.
- [Chris] No, last time was six minutes 40, for all three.
Glad we're not doing three of these.
- Yeah, I was king.
- [Chris] I'd have content for a month.
- No joke, I don't know if I'll ever get this back together.
- [Chris] You got it, you can't give up.
That's the exact moment that you don't give up.
You gotta keep persevering.
- Lets call that done.
- [Chris] That's not done.
It's cute though.
- Do you know how this works,
even though you've never done it?
- [Chris] I'd have to play with it first.
It's a lot to look at, that's for sure.
These puzzles can be tricky,
cause they're confusing to your mind.
I mean, you could forfeit, but I wouldn't recommend it.
- I'm not forfeiting.
- [Chris] So discouraged on your face,
from the look you had earlier.
It's so funny.
- How have I spent seven minutes doing something
I did in one minute?
- [Chris] You've spend seven minutes doing nothing.
You've done nothing in seven minutes.
That's a lot of puzzles,
just banging your head against the wall.
- You're nuts dude.
Your job makes no sense to me.
That's so crazy.
Good for you buddy.
- [Chris] That's a level two.
- How many levels are there, 10?
- [Chris] Can you imagine being here for
four to six hours sometimes, and not solving something?
- So close this time.
I'm like one short step away. - You're like a move off.
Yeah.
- [Chris] Definitely evaluate what's going on.
Where do you want to get too?
- I didn't really come that far but,
it's only one little puzzle right?
Sometimes it lays down,
then I can't even do the same wrong thing again.
- [Chris] Is it funny explaining a puzzle to someone
who has no idea what you're saying.
Imagine I'm a complete stranger and you're trying to explain
to me what you're doing right now.
- I've gotta move all these balls over one more piece,
and I don't know why they won't fit in.
They like don't fit through each other.
The ball's head and the circles are too big.
I don't even know man.
- [Chris] You see what I mean? - Yeah.
You're at 11 minutes and five seconds.
- You gonna jump cut this?
- [Chris] Yeah, I'm gonna have to.
- Pretty embarrassed right now.
Cut back to my intro when I walked in
with all that confidence.
- [Chris] Wes Barker.
- Undisputed puzzle champ.
(laughs)
Going slow and paying attention to what you're doing
right out of the gate, is so valuable.
Cause I have just totally lost the plot here.
(upbeat music)
Alright, I'm really gonna focus here.
I'm really gonna focus and I'm gonna do it.
Here we go, here we go, here we go, I'm gonna do it.
Ready everybody?
I'm in, I'm in, I'm out,
I'm in again, oh I'm in deeper that time.
That's better.
I slid down one extra spot I haven't been in before,
so that's good.
Now that's, the balls on the wrong side completely though.
It has to be on the other.
The weird part about that is I keep coming,
ah, yes, this is what I want to do.
I had it upside down.
I legitimately had it upside down.
Okay, here we go.
It's alright, it's alright, I've got it now.
It's gonna happen.
Oh man, back to this spot again.
I'm so, fuck.
Come on!
I was sitting on that spot, sense minute, like, seven.
- [Chris] And you were a move away.
- It's not even a move, it's like half a stupid thing.
I could do this again in 30 seconds.
Oh, that's gross.
Good puzzle man.
Thanks for watching guys.
- [Chris] 15 minutes, 26 seconds.
Hey, you're going up against Alex and Eric,
so it's not to bad.
- I'm not worried about Alex, but Eric.
- Alright, ladies and gentleman, next challenger.
Eric Leclair, come on in Eric.
(suspenseful music)
- Okay, so what's the deal, what are we doing?
- [Chris] Well first of all, I'd like you to apologize
to my viewers.
- Last time we did this video,
this puzzle solving video, I was upset that I lost.
I let my emotions take control of me,
and I was spiting, even though it was my table,
I was spitting and spat in Wes's face,
and I just want to say I'm sorry for all you puzzle fans
out there that had sheltered lives in their parents
basements and no friends, and not good at parties,
don't know what humor is.
(laughing)
- Lets get into the puzzle. - Alright, lets do it.
- [Chris] So what's on the line right now
is a thousand dollars.
You only have to solve one puzzle.
A thousand dollars.
Look behind you.
That's a belt that can be yours.
On your mark, get set, go.
- [Eric] So this comes apart?
- [Chris] Remember you have to put it back together.
- Yeah.
(soft music)
Should I spit on this right now?
It would be hilarious.
You know, lube it up a little bit.
I've been on YouTube,
I have my own YouTube channel, by the way.
I have like 500 videos on there, and I've never gotten
as much hate as you guys gave me, and it hurt.
It hurts guys.
Mental health is a real thing.
I love that you, no matter what, have to stand up here
for 15 minutes filming us.
- [Chris] Which I'll stand.
I'd rather be on this end, than do the puzzle.
- What is stuck here?
This ones stuck there,
and it won't come out.
And then,
- [Chris] Doing that's great because you're gonna remember
exactly how you did it.
(metal jingling)
- But if it comes out.
- [Chris] Hey, it's a new technique.
- Just focus on my,
- [Chris] I'm not against it.
- Okay, does it going this way, it goes this way.
Now when you're looking at my hands Chris,
do you know if I'm close?
- [Chris] Well, you're just at the beginning.
- That's an interesting hint.
(calm music)
- [Chris] That was two minutes 40.
Wes opened that in a minute.
- No he didn't. - Yeah.
What?
And he took 14 minutes.
( clapping and cheering)
They will not believe you.
Oh sorry, can we cut.
Do not put me licking the belt in the cut,
fans are gonna freak out.
- [Chris] 100% putting you licking the belt.
(clapping)
- I owned you, no help, no help.
- [Chris] Wow.
Congratulations. - Thank you very much.
It's not over, it's not over,
we still got one contender left.
- An I want to apologize again to
all the puzzle fans out there.
- [Chris] The hammer goes to Alex.
What was that? - He did it in three minutes?
- [Chris] Three minutes.
- No.
Okay, this is the time I redeem myself.
I have a good feeling about that one.
Lets do it.
- [Chris] That's his time, three minutes, two seconds.
On your mark, get set, go.
You gotta take it apart and put it back together.
Go, go, go, you got three minutes dude.
A thousand dollars is on the line.
Just concentrate, focus, look at what you're doing.
- [Alex] No forcing right?
- [Chris] No forcing.
(calm music)
Oh wow, dude, 30, holy shit,
that was faster than anybody so far.
- Okay so, like this.
Is that it?
- [Chris] No, no, no.
- [Alex] Almost though.
Okay, so I have to do, no,
this was the way like this.
I think I should be able to do this without shaking.
Fuck.
Come on.
Okay so this, after that, went like this I think.
No forcing.
How about the other way?
Is that it?
- [Chris] You can't ask me.
- [Alex] Can I try to solve the other one first?
- [Chris] No, just this one.
You have one puzzle, that's it.
- [Alex] Oh that's it?
- [Chris] Yeah.
- Okay, so I remember it was like that.
This.
It's fitting but there's one part,
I'm like, what is going on.
Is this supposed to be like that.
Oh, you can't tell me. - No, not really.
Okay, so,
- [Chris] You got a minute.
- I got a minute.
Almost done.
Oh, is that it?
- [Chris] You're very close.
- [Alex] Yeah, I think I had it actually.
Come on, come on, - You got 20 seconds.
Come on, come on, come on.
Okay, so like that.
So like,
- [Chris] Five, four, three, two,
- [Alex] I'm super close, I know it's close.
Ahh, almost man.
Almost, almost.
- [Chris] Yo, he opened it in 29 seconds.
Then he almost had it.
- [Alex] It was so close.
- [Chris] We have the winner here.
- Congratulations.
- [Chris] Eric LeClair. - Good job man.
- You guys are such much better sports.
- Good job.
Almost.
- [Chris] Alex, dude, that was so close.
- Double tap from the new champ.
(laughter)
One size fits all.
- [Chris] There goes the champion.
Boys, that's so much.
- Yeah man, thanks to you man. - Thank you.
- So we get $500 each for second place?
- Third place is really good.
- Alex was, I feel so bad for Alex, he was so close.
Alright guys, so that's it for the second puzzle challenge
winner Eric Leclair, going to PayPal him $1000.
He gets the belt as well.
Thank you guys for participating.
