- Yo, what's up welcome back.
Cool puzzle today.
We're looking at three key puzzles
from creator, Rocky Kiarra.
No, there's no pun in his name.
Maybe there is up.
There are pun in these key names.
Believe it or not.
I don't know which ones are which,
but apparently there are Tokeyo, Rockey 2,
and Boston keyparty.
These three keys here.
I'll let you pick yourself up off the floor
after those jokes, okay?
So keys are innately mysterious, I feel.
Locks in themselves are really cool,
but keys I feel hold a different type of mystery.
By the way we announced the winners
of the contest that we had Briday.
We announced them on our instagram @1stdotshop
Go ahead and check it out.
If you like, maybe you won.
I don't know how I segwayed into that from keys,
but this pretty smooth.
Before we get into today's video,
a quick word from our sponsors.
Thank you to Cove Audio for sponsoring
this portion of the video.
This is the Commuter 2 by Cove Audio.
Upon close inspection,
this thing looks like a regular Bluetooth speaker.
Obviously this has all the great features
in a Bluetooth speaker that you would want,
such as 360 degree sound, water resistant,
it's got a seven hour battery life,
which is also really dope.
It's got an amazing subwoofer in here.
And you can be up to 32 feet away from the speaker
and still connect to your device.
That's not the greatest feature.
Here's what really sold me on this thing.
(speaker clicks)
I was already blown away
by the quality of the sound of this thing
but the fact that you can split them up
and now get stereo sound on either side of you
or left and right speaker is pretty cool
when you're listening
to a movie on your tablet or your phone or your computer
or you're just listening to some music with some friends.
It creates that extra little atmosphere,
which is really, really dope.
And right now Kove Audio is giving my viewers 65% of it.
I think more than 65% off.

Guys, without any further ado like, subscribe,
and let's get into solving these three key puzzles.
(whistles) Here we go.
These are three amazingly cool key puzzles.
That's something about key puzzles
that just makes them I think, cooler than lock puzzles.
Keys are definitely cool.
Key gang, all the way.
#keygang down in the chat.
You got this signature here.
There you go.
You got a signature right there
one there, and one there.
So Rocky Kiarra,
I don't know which one we should try and solve first.
I would say I'll let you guys pick.
I'll wait.
Down in the comments let me know which one I should.
Oh, that one.
Okay, perfect.
Start the timer.
All right, so the thing with key puzzles
is that you need to take obviously the ring off of the key.
That's the case in all three of them here,
we gotta take the ring off.
But what's so special about this key
that the ring comes out.
Already, I'm twisting this things.
This thing turns, it's letting me know that.
What else am I doing?
This looks like it moves a little bit.
There are multiple seams in this thing here.
So there's a seam here, here, here, maybe here, here.
So it is throwing you some red herrings at the same time.
And this shouldn't be very difficult,
it shouldn't take me long at all.
I'm guessing it's not gonna take me long.
Cause key puzzles usually work
under the same few principles.
Okay, so that turns all the way around.
Interesting.
And something's up with this head here cause that moves too.
Just a slight bit.
Anything special with the ring?
You never know.
Sometimes they like to trick you like that.
Ring looks good.
Okay, so if I turn this,
oh, there you go, see?
It just moved.
How's it moving?
Oh, so this end here is actually spring loaded,
so a lot of times you'll get keys where this pushes in,
but obviously it's not pushing in.
And if that pushes in, usually the ring,
obviously you can come out of there, right?
Another way to do it would be to unscrew this
or just get rid of this end knob.
But this one's extending, which is interesting.
So I would say extending
it's not going to help the ring get free here,
but it probably will unlock something over here.
So we're doing that, we're turning,
nothing's really happening.
Oh, look what we have here.
We have a bit of a gap.
Oh, is that what that's for?
That's strange.
I've never seen that before.
Check that out.
So by pulling this, this thing comes out here.
Hold on, let me line that up for you.
This side here comes out, which I bet is just enough room
for that ring to get through.
Boom and now it comes out,
it's gotta come out absolutely all the way.
And then the ring can be free and back, oops,
and back in here.
And then you pull this
and put that back to normal
And then you can twist it
and now it's back into place.
So this part had no business coming out.
I'm glad I didn't pull harder.
I feel like I would have broke that,
but that's pretty cool.
That's one, one down.
Let's go for key number two.
Let's do this one here.
So I like that.
There's a neat little touch.
So again, same basic shape of the key.
And the reason for that is there are many, many seams here.
And again, these seams can be used
to either unscrew, pull, or push in
to release the mechanism somewhere,
allowing the key to be free.
So in this case, we're gonna go all the way to the end.
And so here I thought...
See, you can push it in a little bit.
This end bit does not push in,
but instead it pushes in through here.
So now how...
Pushes in through here.
Right there.
Oh, and this thing moves.
This middle part here.
Oh, it does move, ooh
Oh, here we go.
That's cool.
Now the ring can come out.
Oh, I see.
So this thing is spring loaded.
There's this pin that goes up in here,
there's a spring on the end of that.
So that is spring loaded
and then it is slotted into the other one
and what's holding it together is this cuff,
this little brass cuff or whatever this metal cuff
and that can be twisted.
And if it's twisted, see how there's a little...
Oh, this is actually cool.
Do you see that L right there, that L?
So that is basically, in here you have a little pin
and the pin's going to enter that L
and you're going to turn here
and that's gonna lock it.
So very simple mechanism using the spring here
which is really, really cool.
And just a little lock here,
a little L that allows you to get in there and lock.
So if I push down
and I rotate this back now the opposite way, it will free.
Very cool.
Let's get the ring back in there.
I like that one a lot.
That's a cool little solution, not too complicated,
very simple to understand, easy to comprehend.
You know what it does?
It gives you a nice view of the craftsmanship,
the ingenuity, the idea that went behind the lock.
Cause that's really all puzzles are.
It's just unique little ideas.
Principles that may be is new
or changed in some way or adapted.
So this one here...
Oh, this one's interesting
because it doesn't have all those bells and whistles,
like these ones have.
All these little cuffs in different parts in the end.
This one's only got a seam and that's it, one seam.
So my guess is it has to do with this.
So this doesn't push in, it doesn't pull out,
it doesn't screw or unscrew.
Huh?
So it's the ring.
Okay, that's cool.
So the ring i going to unscrew here.
I saw that because in the inside there's a little gap.
It's not completely plum with a thing.
So now this should come out.
No.
Huh, and the ring's the same.
So you can even put the last pin on the key into that hole,
giving me a little bit more room to maneuver.
It would go in.
So it would bend another 10 degrees in there,
but yeah, not enough to get me out.
So there's definitely something up
with the end of this here.
Hmm.
It just happened to be a little bit stuck,
but that definitely unscrews,
which then would release the ring.
Oh, this interesting.
So see how the ring doesn't come out right now.
You gotta put that little piece here
into the hole where that bolt was in the ring.
So once that goes in there, now you can go up and over it.
Cause it enough room to maneuver over.
It goes back.
This one, I believe was here.
I'm not gonna try and screw it in there too tightly.
And this one goes on here.
And that is that.
Three ring puzzles in what?
Under 11 minutes.
I like that because these are the type of puzzles
that I would definitely have laying around
for friends to play with.
These are the exact type of puzzles
that would just chill here on my desk.
People are like, "What's that?"
And I'm like, "Oh, you gotta get the ring out."
And I would go do something.
And they would be here like.
And maybe throw it against the wall or something,
I don't know.
There you go.
Not gonna do it.
That was a lot of fun.
I mean, super simple.
The reason I really like these though,
however, cause these are the types of things
that I would generally leave in a tray like this.
Look at this.
See this nice little tray here.
Thanks so much for watching this video.
Thanks so much for hanging out with us today.
We'll be back Friday with another video.
Don't forget to like subscribe if you're new here
