Hello, and welcome to Puzzle Master. This is the Puzzle Guy. And in this video,
I will show you how to solve Hydrant puzzle.
This puzzle was designed by Alexander Magyarics,
puzzle designer from Slovakia and made by Pelikan in the Czech Republic, with
absolutely fantastic quality.
This puzzle is made of four different kinds of wood. It is
padauk, ash, iroko and wenge
It has a difficulty level eight out of 10
on Puzzle Master's difficulty scale that runs from five to 10.
And the object of this puzzle...
This puzzle has actually three objects. ...is to fit
parts inside in such a way that the letter H will be covered
and there will be no gaps. But since this puzzle has six parts
and you can't fit all six parts inside the frame,
you have to use not all the parts for each object.
So for the first object, you have to use only parts that have light colored wood.
So that's going to be these two parts and
also this part,
and the last piece is going to be this one.
So you use these four parts for the first challenge,
and you have to fit them in such a way that the letter H will be covered. For
the second challenge,
you have to use this part and
this part and this part. So three parts,
which you have to use to solve the second challenge.
And for the third one,
you have to add this square piece and fit all these four
parts inside the frame in such a way that you got the letter H.
So this is the Hydrant puzzle. If you like it, and you want to buy it,

keep watching the video.
And now I will show you how to solve the first part. First
object. It is the most difficult object in my opinion.
So first this piece is the most difficult one.
Since there are not many possibilities, how you can fit it inside.
So you can fit it like this, but if you put it this way,
it is impossible to fit it inside.
And also you can use these gaps on the side, so that you can stick the parts,
for example, like this. So the key part, in my opinion,
is this one. Since you have to figure out the way,
how to fit it inside in a correct way,
and it's going to be like this. So you're going to fit it this way,
and then it will fall down,
but it's not going to be the first piece that we have to fit.
And I'll start with that...
I'm going to show you how I'm going to fit these parts inside.
So it's going to be something like this.
This part goes on the bottom. This goes on top of the first one.
This piece will be right here. And the last piece is going to be right here.
And as you can see,
we have created something like square or
cube and to fit it inside,
we can try to use the
tactic that I usually use when I solve such kind of puzzles. I create a shape.
And then I try to imagine that I'm trying to remove it from the frame.
So for example, this piece goes to the left. First,
I can move this up to the right,
and then I can move these two parts and the puzzle will be solved.
So, okay. So I'll start with this one.
I'll stick it inside all the way down.
So the second piece that I'm going to put inside,
is going to be the small piece.
I will put it here and it will fall down all the way there.
And the last one... No, actually,
the second piece is supposed to be the third one. So I will remove it.
I can put it inside, but not all the way down.
I can stick it to the side. So now this piece,
you have to move it inside
and to the left. Now we can move this small piece that we put inside.
The second it's supposed to go to the bottom layer, like
so. And now move this piece all the way inside.
And it seems like these two, these three parts are feeling like two layers.
Now we have to grab this third piece, put it right here,
move it up to the right and stick it to this corner.
So the next important step is you have to grab this piece.
That was number three, move it one step up
and to the left, like this,
and you can move it to this corner.
So the next, what you have to do is to move this piece on this
side. And now you will be able to grab the middle piece. That was number two.
Move it one step up. That is quite difficult to show you what I'm doing.
One step up and move
towards this side of the frame.
Like, so.
That's it,
and now what you have to do is to move
this piece to the right. This piece will go up here.
Now we can move this small piece to the left. Now we have a,
a gap in the middle where we can fit this piece.
It goes right there all the way down.
And you can move this piece and the puzzle is solved. As you can see,
that was the solution. So now we have to remove all pieces.
So it goes, it goes exactly the same way, but backwards,
move this to the left. This piece goes up.
Sometimes it's much easier to flip the puzzle upside down to move some of the
parts. So now move the piece, this small piece
to the right. This goes towards the
front side of the frame. This big piece goes to the left.
Now we can move this piece one step to the front. And it will fall down.
Now you move this piece to the right.
This piece will go up and all the way inside and it will fall
down. Now we can remove the first piece.
Next, you have to move this piece up,
Move the small piece, one step up.
Move the piece from the left to the middle. You can remove it.
And now it is pretty easy to remove the two pieces that are
inside. And the puzzle is solved both ways.
But it was only the first object. So for the second object,
I'm going to have to take these two parts and this part,
and what makes it
similar to the first object is that I have to use this part in exactly
the same place. This part will stay here.
And this piece is going to stay in exactly the same place.
So this is going to be the shape that we're going to fit inside the frame.
And it's going to be not so difficult to do.
Now what we have to do is to fit this piece
inside to the right. Nope. We will start this with this piece.
We will put it inside and to the left
so that it's gonna stick out from the left side, like this.
Now we have to take this part, put it inside.
Okay. I think that I've made a mistake. Let's try again.
So the first piece
probably is going to be not the one that I've told you.
It's going to be this one.
So we have to put this piece all the way down.
This piece will go right here and in this corner.
Now we have to move this piece from inside, up
and stick it from the left side.
It's much easier to do by flipping the puzzle upside down. So like this.
And now we have this piece, which we have to fit inside. To do it,
you have to move this piece right here towards the front side of the frame.
Stick this piece inside, one step to the right.
Now we have to move this piece here. The middle piece,
move it to the left corner.
Now we can put this piece inside and this piece,
goes inside, as well. So that was the second object.
To remove all parts, you have to do exactly the same steps, but backwards.
This goes outside. The biggest piece, goes up.
And again, it's much easier to just to flip it upside down. Now,
move the inner piece,
one step to the right and to the front. This goes here.
Now we can remove the
piece that was inside.
Move this piece all the way,
so it falls down inside the frame.
Remove the biggest piece and now remove that last piece. So that was the
object number two. And the third object is going to be,
where you have to fit four parts.
And this time it looks exactly the same as the second,
but the last piece will stick right in here.
And the solution is going to be very similar to the previous one.
So first you have to stick this part inside
next goes this part.
Now you have to move the part that is inside.
You have to move it up and to the left,
like this. So now we have to stick this piece
and now there's going to be
the most interesting part, where we have to stick the last piece.
You have to move parts like this,
and you have to stick this piece, right in this hole.
Now move this piece to the right. This goes left.
Now the inner piece that is right below this part, goes to the left.
And if you tilt the puzzle towards yourself,
the small square piece will move to this side of the wall.
And next what you have to do is, just put this piece inside.
And this goes inside, as well.
So that was the assembling of the third
object. Now we have to disassemble it, remove the parts.
Again, you have to do exactly the same steps, but backwards.
And again,
it's much easier to flip the puzzle upside down to remove some of the parts.
So what we have to do is to move this piece. First of all,
tilt the frame to that side,
so that the small piece will go to that side of the frame.
Now move this piece to the right. This goes this way,
the big piece goes to the left. Now we can remove that small square piece.
Now we have to move the inner piece, right
here and remove it from the frame, like this.
And we have only two parts left,
which are easy to remove, since we made it a couple of
times already.
And the puzzle is solved,
like this. So that was the solution of Hydrant puzzle.
It has three objects. They're pretty similar.
Since at least two parts always stay in the same spot,
but you have to figure out the way, how to fit the rest of the parts inside the frame.
