Hey, it's Aaron. And today we'll be going through the solution for Tycho puzzle.
This puzzle is a level nine on the Puzzle Master difficulty scale. This puzzle,
and many others are available at puzzlemaster.ca
This beefy boy.
This is a chunky unit by Craighill. These guys,
they know how to make heavy duty puzzles. I'll tell you this is solid,
like just solid and heavy.
And it's it retains really well. Anyway, so the whole,
so the whole idea, this guy's to disassemble and reassemble.
So to start off, we're just going to try some spin moves.
And we're aiming for these this like zigzag pattern.
We're not aiming to spin on one of these ends.
Ooh, that was actually looking good.
Nope. I guess not.
Sorry, headphone listeners.
I must be just picking everything about the one I need
to.
I mean, there's a way you can take it apart
without spinning it, but I think this is the best way to do it.
This gives the coolest,
coolest solve.
Just really doesn't want to do it today.
Come on buddy.
You can do it. I believe in you.
Well, there we go. That is so good.
Boom.
And then you're just left with shrapnel; like look at this thing.
Fantastic. Okay.
So,
we have four and four, for pieces. Four identical silver pieces; four
identical brass pieces. I guess these are stainless; these are brass.
They're the same keynote here. You have two ends.
You have a flatter end. This curve here is a little bit flatter.
And then this curve is like really harsh.
So I'll like put a flat beside a curve so you can see,
and that will be a big part of this puzzle. This is a very important thing.
So we'll take one of these flat down.
Not flat, curved end down and we'll take another one with that curved end down.
And we'll just nest them into each other, like a box.
So you get that nice inside dimension. And like
so. Then we will fit some brass pieces into it.
And more or less you just kind of slide it along and see how it fits up.
There shouldn't be any like huge gaps; it should sit nice and flush in there.
Now this is definitely a dexterity puzzle. For sure,
because these pieces want to do whatever they want.
So
that doesn't really fit. So I'll just flip it around.
And that seems to fit pretty good.
So this piece is ready. So we'll just set it off to the side
and we'll build that again. And remember you want the...
We have this side pointing up on this thing,
So you can kind of see, those are straight; they're parallel to each other.
This is very important. You can't put this together with the edges wrong.
So we'll do this again.
We have our two flat edges. We've kind of
placed it into each other. So we have that kind of diamond shape in there.
That box. And we'll fit our brass pieces.
Fits up nice. Rotate it around.
Now that fits up nice to that corner.
So now we have our two pieces together.
We're going to leave one on the table and I recommend pointing
it, like so. Then we're going to pick up the other piece.
Now I like to support the stainless with these two fingers and I'll go
underneath and I'll support the brass.
You really need two hands for this process.
Now I will, holding those together, I just place it down.
And boom. There it is, back together.
And this thing is solid.
You can technically find the right corners and pull it apart.
But I just liked that spin.
That's been as so satisfying when it just explodes and shrapnels everywhere.
I actually just for fun. I'm going to zoom out.
See what I mean? That's so awesome. That is
cool. Well.
