Hey, it's Aaron.
And today we'll be going through the solution for Sternpuzzle.
This puzzle is a level seven on the Puzzle Master difficulty scale. This puzzle,
and many others are available at puzzlemaster.ca.
So here we have this chunky boy.
We have our regular camera and then we have a new front facing camera.
Well, it's not new. It's actually old. It's just,
I don't typically use it for solutions,
but we need it for this one because it's so big.
Big puzzle. Okay.
So we need to start off by finding this first piece.
There's only one that's going to slide out like this. Like you have...
If you change your orientation, it kind of looks the same,
but this piece isn't going to slide out. Anyway,
you'll find this first piece that slides, and we'll just put that to the side.
Then from here,
we can lift off these two and we'll also put them to the side.
From here, this big long one
slides out.
Actually I'm going to put them over here.
And then we can feel that these are really loose, where that piece came
out of. We can just pull those off and they'll just explode
off.
So I'll throw those over here. Now,
this is a cool movement. Our next move,
we pull this entire chunk just up.
That's satisfying.
And it breaks apart very easily. So I'll just...
There'll be a pile there. And then we're left with this like sword, like a kind...
It looks like a sword to me. I don't know. Maybe I don't,
maybe you don't see it, but I think it looks like a sword. Anyway,
we take out the long piece
and then everything just kind of breaks apart
And we're left with this base.
So now for reference.
So like this piece here has no grooves in it.
So this is zero notches. This one has two notches.
You can see our two notches.
And then we have one that has three notches, two in the side,
like the one before and then one additional one at the top.
Most of our long pieces are unique enough that I'm not going to worry about
labeling them.
So to start with, we'll take one of our two notches and we'll just lay it down.
From here, we'll take two of our long pieces.
And now these long ones just have notches running down the one side.
There are no other notches. And we will just slide those
in the side like that.
From here,
we are going to take our two pieces that have three notches,
and we're going to have the one notch side, facing up.
And we will just rotate this.
And our two notches will slide in and down.
So we're left with that. Then we'll take our third long piece.
And this one also just has notches running down the one side,
nothing else special about it.
And we will just slide it in the side and center it.
So now we got our sword again,
we'll put that to the side,
cause we need to build that big chunk that we just exploded.
So we have two long pieces and they have notches running down
the entire side and then one on the
intersecting side.
So.
Now we will slide those to the side. We will take this piece like that.
And we'll find a two notch and we'll just put it in the side, like, so.
We will find another two notch and we'll put it in the other side.
Now we'll take our other half and make sure that our top notch is facing the
same direction and we'll just sandwich it.
So you can see we have the two notches going down, going up in the same direction.
We have two holes and then we have our two pieces sandwiched.
From here, we're going to take some three notches
and we're going to have our top notch facing this hole.
So it will go down the two notch. Down
and then it continues that diamond hole throughout it.
And we'll do that for all four positions.
We will hold it,
keep tension on the blocks and we'll do it for the other side.
So we have this piece together, flip it around, make sure your notches are up.
This got me. I tried to actually film this twice now.
And one of mine was one of the things was a failure because I actually forgot to
have the notches up and had to disassemble the puzzle again, to figure it out.
With our hands full, we will drag our sword hilt back in the frame.
And we will take this
piece here and slide it down,
making sure to keep a hold of everything, but also shimmy sham it,
like you do with burrs and all the way down.
So now we can see this hole is clear and easy.
If it is not clear and easy, you need to flip this piece over.
So from here you need to fill in this section,
we have two sections like that on the side that needs stars like this.
So, we're going to be working pretty much solely with three pieces or three notch pieces
here. We're going to take our piece.
We're going to slide the one notch down this
and then the two notches into these grooves.
So like this.
And we'll do it with the other side.
Then we'll take another three notch and we'll keep the one notch up
and slide it down
And it should now hold itself.
We'll do that again for this side. Same thing.
You take your three block.
You put the one notch in
and slide it in.
Oh.
And then keep that one notch top and
slide the two down.
And that holds everything into position.
Now we have this big, hot dog bun.
We'll send this hot dog home
and more or less, this piece just has two notches on the one side.
It's not, I'll actually even take it out. Two notches on the one side,
no other notches, pretty solid.
Scoot in the hot dog bun. Okay.
So now all we got left is to cap off the star and we're good.
So this is our final piece, the no notch. And we have two,
three notches left. So we'll drop
drop the two notches to the center, the one notch up,
like so.
Two notch in one up like that.
And then we have a clear opening,
clear diamond shaped hole for this piece to slide in.
To slide. There we go.
And that's it back together.
