Hey guys, Tyler here, your Puzzle Master Insider, and today I'll be giving you an
inside look at a wooden puzzle lock from Siebenstein-Spiele, called Lock 64.
So here's Lock 64 from Siebenstein-Spiele. It's designed by Siebenstein-Spiele's
founder, Jürgen Reich. And the objective of it is to take this lock handle
or lock piece off up top here.
It's made from laser-cut wood,
and it's got a few different features on it here. It's got this dial that spins in the middle,
this cool little sun-looking piece in the middle of it-- of
the dial and it's got some great-- Security Corp 1871.
It's got all this laser-engraved edge stuff in there. Fantastic features that really make this
a cool lock, something that looks great and is actually quite a heavy duty thing
like sometimes these wood ones are a little lighter, this one is not fooling around.
And the thing I like about this is that usually locks-- you think puzzle
lock, you think metal. This is out-of-the-box thinking here with a
would puzzle lock and something that really has a great solution to it.
It is a Level 10 on the Puzzle Master Difficulty Rating Scale, which runs from
five to ten. So it is the hardest difficulty we have and really when
you see the solution, I wouldn't say the solution itself is actually all that
hard to do, but to figure out what to do for the solution, without knowing it is
just ridiculous. This is such a hard puzzle that way, so it's a great one.
I think it'd be very rewarding once you do get it and and something that
could definitely be sitting on your mantelpiece it would be a cool piece for
anybody's puzzle collection. Something I would highly recommend you having yours.
if you don't have it already.
Next, I'll show you the solution.

So like I said in the intro there, the solution to this
really isn't all that hard when you do it and you know what it is.
But figuring it out, boy I don't know how you would figure this out totally.
It is pretty cool though. So I mean obviously it all centers around
this dial and it's got a few different things like I mean, obviously when you're
working with a dial like this and a lock mechanism, you're thinking numbers and
you're looking for hints, right? So I mean it's got a few different things that
in my opinion will be misdirection. So this 1871, it's something you could be
like well maybe that's some sort of combination. And you're thinking
combination lock, right? So you go to spin it like you would in normal combination lock
and there you go. It doesn't spin past 4.2, right? So
Yeah and you actually can't spin it the opposite way so it really, it doesn't do much other
than that, to start. I mean you can spin this little middle piece, but that again
really does nothing. I think that's only really there to look cool and it does--
obviously, it does accomplish that.
On the back here, it says number 06400.
Now I I think that's kind of a hint at the solution.
I mean obviously Lock 64 too, there's another number in there and so that's
really that's that stuff in that 64 obviously showing up at the back there.
This essentially is the combination right there: 0, 6, 4 and then 0.
Right? So what you do-- it starts up at the zero and you turn the lock dial
to what would be 64. So 6 and then you go four little ticks past that and then you
stop it there and what you want to do is you want to kind of put your thumb on
the dial and hold this thing up and then hit it on your hand and you can
hear a marble or something fall down. I assume what's happening is that there's
a hole in the top here with a magnetic piece or something that's
holding a
ball bearing in there, probably or something.
And so then when you hit that, it releases it and then what you want to do is you want to turn that back
to zero and then from the zero, you want to want to hold the thing in--
hold the dial. This is kind of a weird move on this whole thing.
Hold the dial and then spin the puzzle itself as far as you possibly can. It'll kind of go
to that 3/4 or like 45 minute thing on the clock there and then from there you
just pull the lock handle out and it comes out. And then when you see in here
like, you can see there's a couple of different pieces up top here and...
this when you turn this dial, it actually moves in there.
You can see a little bit of that and-- but that's your solution
right there. And then it's real easy to put back together. You just put that back
in and spin this back up and kind of just give her a shake and
it goes back into place.
So I'm not totally sure what's all happening inside there when
you do the solution, but yeah, it--
it's a fantastic puzzle and one that would be really hard.
So that's the Lock 64 solution - start to finish.
