- Felt like I wanted to rock the no hat today.
Probably not a good idea.
I look like, I look like I should be
in like a denim commercial.
A low budget denim commercial.
What's up, guys?
Welcome back, hope everyone's having a great day today.
I'm having a great day, I'm having a fantastic day.
I don't know why that sounded sarcastic,
I'm actually having a fantastic day because today
we've got a nother puzzle from Will Strebos.
Will Strebos of course you know from the lotus puzzle video,
also the I believe the telephone puzzle.
Will is known not only his very extremely difficult
puzzles but also the high quality metal craftsmanship
on these babies.
Before we take a look at that, I just want to say something
I was streaming on Twitch recently, by the way,
if you don't check me out on Twitch, feel free to come
hang out, I usually stream a couple times a week,
hang out, answer questions and just play video games.
Anyways, we were talking, I asked a few of you
if you'd like to have any recommendations for
the holidays in terms of maybe a little bit of a gift guide,
puzzles and playing cards.
Well, you're in luck 'cause right now during the holiday
season two things are going on.
One, Puzzle Master is having a sale
on these six metal puzzles.
So you get all six of these.
They range from levels from intermediate to very difficult.
Most of them are take apart and put back together puzzles
but you also have this trick lock which I have
not yet tried, which I will be doing basically
a lock and key puzzle.
These are great to put under the tree or to fill stockings.
I know a lot of you ask me you know,
where do you get your puzzles?
Where do you buy them?
Puzzle Master's where I get most of my puzzles,
90% of them and they have this sale going on right now
for these six metal puzzles so if you want to check
out some cool and challenging puzzles over the holidays,
nothing better than to stay inside on a snowed in day
and try to figure out some puzzles so check these out,
I'll leave the link below to these as well,
you can check out the rest of the puzzles
but the puck doesn't stop there, no folks, it doesn't.
Art of Play, good friends of mine are also having
a winter sort of sale, they're selling mystery decks
and mystery decks is just that.
You purchase one of these mystery decks and you will
get a brand new custom playing card deck and you
don't know what you're going to receive.
Now it could be anything from a deck worth up to
you know, hundred dollars to a deck that just came out
or to a deck that is not longer in print
including 1st playing cards, they have a few
1st playing cards that they're throwing in there
so if you want to surprise someone or maybe
even yourself, go check this out.
I left the link below to the mystery decks
where you can and they already come wrapped
so you can throw, ow, my foot.
They already come wrapped so you can throw em
under the tree as is, it's up to you, check it out.
Alright enough of that, let's get in to today's puzzle.
This is a four piece metal jigsaw puzzle.
Now I've never solved a jigsaw puzzle on this channel,
I have put together jigsaw puzzles in my youth.
This one strike me as a bit more strange
because it only has four pieces.
Now you're thinking to yourself, how hard could this
possibly be to put together or take apart
and put together if it only has four pieces
and that's exactly what I'm thinking.
I have no idea.
I haven't toyed with it.
The pieces do shift around a little bit
but I haven't pushed them too far because
I wanted to save it for the video
so I don't know what to expect.
Apparently it is pretty difficult and knowing
Will Strebos, it, probably gonna swear.
But regardless, this looks like a beautiful little puzzle
to keep on the shelf and the fact that it's only
four pieces really, really peeks my curiosity
so let's have a look at this puzzle right now.
Look at this thing.
It's just a little, tiny puzzle, of course it's easy.
Except it doesn't come apart.
Oh, that's interesting so it stays stuck here.
Okay hold on so.
Maybe both silver parts need to come out.
And then this one, oh see this one's free now.
And then okay we gotta start again.
Both silver parts, K one silver part's out.
One, this is so weird 'cause they wanna come
apart but then they don't.
K, silver part's out, look at that,
there's a gap there.
That is out.
Let's bring the camera in a bit closer.
Okay, much better, stop moving, much better.
Okay.
I don't understand why they don't come out.
It's almost like, okay so this one exits that way,
this one has to exit this way I guess, correct
but that one's blocking this one from exiting so
and this one also has to, so they only exit one way each.
Oh, I see, that's interesting.
Oh.
Boom.
And then obviously exits that way and this exits this way,
okay so not too, not too, too difficult
but you do have to like kinda figure it out
because they only go in one way and so I guess
these sides are a little wider than this side,
which is why you couldn't put it in this way,
you could only put it in that way but I guess
the challenge being here is how to get everything
back to the way it was.
You have to go here
and then this, oh God, okay,
it's one of those it's a little bit harder
to put back together, I'm assuming
'cause you can't just put em in, oops,
you can't just put em in straight.
See like these three pieces but then this one,
it doesn't work because it goes in here
but it doesn't go out on this side so it has to somehow
enter
here, there you go.
Boom.
Wasn't too hard at all, you know, while we got time,
let's take a look at, let's take a look at that
little lock puzzle while we're on it.
This is actually a lot of fun.
Little harder than I thought but not too, too difficult,
kind of fun to fidget around with.
Let's take a look at the lock puzzle.
So this is a little level seven lock,
which I mentioned at the beginning of the video
you can pick up at Puzzle Master, let's try to figure
this out, looks simple enough.
So on the inside here, you can see, I can rotate this pin
and when I rotate it, it opens a keyhole,
which I imagine
no, K.
Maybe the other side?
There's two sides of this keyhole.
Hold that still.
No, upside down, no.
I'm thinking maybe there's like some unique
way of putting this key in there.
It's like this is stuck here now.
Why is that stuck?
This pin seems to now be stuck in this position,
I don't know how to unstick it.
Oh weird, so there used to be one notch here
and now there are two?
I don't know if the camera can pick that up,
there were like two little notches on the inside of that,
which makes me believe that this, that's really interesting,
this doesn't pop off, this is actually rotates
so you just gotta rotate it so maybe
you put it back to the key thing
then we put the key in and then we rotate?
No.
Why?
There's something I'm not seeing right now,
whether it's on the key
or whether it's on the lock,
there's gotta be some, some hidden message somewhere,
the only clue I have are those two, little nibs
there that stick out on this ring.
Oh, oh, oh, you clever, clever little thing.
Turns out, this was a decoy.
This key serves no purpose in solving this lock.
You, red hearing.
So it turns out here, let's try to put this back,
yeah, there we go.
You have to, see if you turn it here,
where the key, where you're supposed to put the key in,
which is what you would think, it won't open
but as soon as you rotate and make it go away
from the hole that's there, now it opens
and then closes once again.
But now I still see two notches, I'm just trying
to get this thing closed.
There ya go.
That's how this thing opens, not using a key
but using your brain matter.
Ugh.
Like I said, those are available in stock
at Puzzle Master, you can check em out,
these are actually, this is good fun,
this is something that would challenge a lot
of beginner puzzlers, if you gave em this
because automatically instinctively,
you're not looking for a decoy,
you think this key has something to do with it,
so you're thinking of just like I'm doing,
like banging it, spinning it, all this stuff
and turns out no, turns out you just have to ignore this
and just use this instead to unlock it.
Not disappointed.
Alright guys, there you have it.
I mean definitely more difficult than I anticipated,
fun little puzzle none the less,
this is something that's a lot of fun that you can
just leave on the coffee table because
a lot of people will just come over and be like,
oh, this looks east and then wha bam!
It isn't.
Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed that video and my hair.
What is wrong with me?
Guy, like this video, subscribe, all that stuff,

Peace.
