Hey guys, Tyler here, your Puzzle Master Insider, and today I'll be giving you an
inside look at a brand new packing puzzle from Jean Claude Constantin,
the maker of Pento T. And this one, I call it the better-looking brother of Pento T,
it's the 37 Sterne or 37 Stars.
Okay guys, so here's this 37 Sterne puzzle or 37 Stars, as it is in English,
from Jean Claude Constantin.
It's the follow-up to his very popular Pento T puzzle.
Many of you would have seen Mr. Puzzle do that on his YouTube channel,
he had a video on there of it and did that. Pento T is a
really awesome puzzle and this is the much better-looking brother to the Pento T.
It's more well-designed; I actually say I like this one better myself.
It's got a cool design to it, very odd pieces again. Just very
much like that Pento T. And they kind of fit in and just such a distinct and
different way, but the thing I like about this one over the Pento T is that the
fact that it has a border. So when you take these out, there is some sort of a
border that it fits into and it gives you a frame of reference to work from as
to what's going on. So whereas the Pento T kind of had that-- just those
metal posts on the outside holding, it in. This one gives you a much better frame
of reference for where things need to go, what needs to happen. And uh... again just the
fantastic different kind of jigsaw packing puzzle type thing.
You won't find stuff like this anywhere else. Jean Claude Constantin really make
some fantastic stuff and high-quality, it's made out of wood and I'm not sure
what the bottom is, but there is some sort of a vinyl or painting on the
bottom here of the puzzle. It's a really good finish and the pieces are
high-quality, well-made and you'll really enjoy this one, guys. I'm telling ya
it's-- I think better than the Pento T. So for those of you really going
nuts over that Pento T, guys check out the 37 Sterne, it is a fantastic puzzle.
37 Sterne is a level 9 on the Puzzle Master Difficulty Rating Scale, which runs from 5 to 10.
Next, I'll show you the solution. If you aren't interested in seeing this, then please stop the video here.
Five.
Four.
Three.
Two.
One.
Zero.
Okay, so here's the solution to the 37 Sterne and I'm not really sure
how best to go about solving this one, to be honest.
It's a very different and I don't know exactly what sort of process you'd find.
In the last time with Pento T, Mr. Puzzle kind of hit on the fact
that you could could see the pattern inside of what was happening there, so
there's lots of distractions. You just kinda have to look for like there's almost black
lines showing you where the piece is kind of outlined, but I don't
know that there is something like that in this one. It-- yeah, it's different it's
very, very different from other stuff that you see.
The funny thing about these is that there's no real, like there's no repeating pattern on the
actual pieces themselves. I mean there is once you put them in, but other than that
there's like all the pieces are very differently-shaped. There's nothing that
looks at all similar to one another and it's even as I know this puzzle,
it's difficult figuring out where stuff go was here and I would say that
yeah, I don't know what like I said I don't know what the process would be,
how you would figure out where stuff goes here but yeah,
it's very difficult. Something I've never seen jigsaw puzzles like these or packing
puzzles, I guess is what they would be, but uh I've never seen anything quite like it.
They are very unique unto themselves and yeah it's a great design on these, I love the look.
It feels good to like when they when they pop in, it kind of like
Mr. Puzzle explained in the Pento T, it's really satisfying just to kind of--
kind of have these drop in and I'll show you something here in the middle once
we get it a little bit further here and--
now I'll just show you that drop in.
It's pretty neat when you get that happening and you kind of drop it in and
the piece just kind of disappears. So here I'll show you on this one. It's a
smaller one, but once you get it to that spot, you just kind of move it and it
drops in and disappears. Not quite as much as the Pento T; that is one area
that stays maybe not quite as neat, but just a fantastic look to this. The puzzle
pieces really fit together, it's a tight fit and they're all that interlocking with the different shapes.
That is the 37 Sterne solution, start to finish.
The 37 Sterne is available at PuzzleMaster.CA and you'll find a link to it in the description below.
