- What's up guys?
Welcome back.
Back home back from L.A.
That was a really fun trip by the way.
I still have some footage that I'm chopping up right now.
Some really tasty B roll that we got
at my buddy Ron's studio.
You'll see that soon if you're subscribed.
Alright moving on.
Today we're looking at a really really interesting puzzle.
This puzzle is known as the Karakuri crayon organizer.
It says that the crayons are the key to this box
and the mechanism within is similar to a
pin tumbler lock device,
so like a regular key and lock.
This is produced by the Karakuri Creation Group's
craftsmen from selected ideas from the ninth
annual Karakuri idea contest.
The idea came from Yosuke Tanaka
and is handcrafted by Hideaki Kawashima.
It is made of American black cherry,
maple, Purpleheart, Chenchen, Keyaki, magnolia.
I don't know what any of those things are,
but sounds delicious.
Also this puzzle looks incredible.
I love the simplicity.
I love the craftsmanship.
I'm never disappointed with a Japanese puzzle.
These are however very expensive,
anywhere between four and six hundred dollars.
Because they are each individually handcrafted,
that's what makes them so expensive
and they're a collector's piece as well.
So without further ado,
like this video let's get into it.
(whoosh)
Again from Karakuri in Japan,
they make these elegant handcrafted puzzles,
this one looks just so great.
(clicks)
So these things go down in different intervals,
seems like not high,
a little bit lower and really low.
(clicks)
Wonder if I can take them out, yes.
Okay.
Now that one seems to be stuck.
I can't ...
Can't take that one out.
Huh ...
(slides and clicks crayon)
(slides and clicks crayons)
Maybe there's like a sequence.
(slides and clicks crayons)
Maybe this has to do with something.
The purple orange yellow green,
so maybe purple orange yellow green.
Hmmm.
Oh let's try putting them in order
of what the colors are so that's
purple ...
That'd be orange.
Yellow ...
and green.
(slides and clicks crayons)
No.
I guess it opens down here.
I really want to get this one in.
Maybe it is that ...
Maybe I do have to align them like that,
but maybe this one also has to come out.
I don't want to break it.
I don't feel like this one really wants to come out though.
Oh.
That was really jammed in there,
I hope I didn't break it.
Let's try this side.
Purple ...
Orange ...
Yellow ...
green.
(slides and clicks crayons)
(lounge music plays)
No.
Huh.
(lounge music plays)
Oh damn it.
I don't want to break it I don't want to break it.
I need to sharpen this pencil.
(inhales sharply)
Come on come on.
Great I think I broke it.
(crayon clicks loudly)
Ugh.
Ow!
Yeah I shouldn't have put it in there.
Yes okay it's coming out.
There we go.
Okay we're good.
Hmmm.
You wacky wild little puzzle.
(slides crayon)
Huh.
Purple ...
Obviously orange ...
yellow
green.
(slides and clicks crayons)
(lounge music plays)
(slides and clicks crayons)
(slides crayons)
(lounge music plays)
(smacks box)
Oops.
(slides and clicks)
(all crayons click)
Oh this is such a wierd puzzle.
Hmmm.
I don't want to take this one out
because it's so stuck in there.
If we're looking at the lines,
obviously it's first so it's either here or here.
I don't want to get back in there because
that was a nightmare to get out.
Purple orange yellow green.
(clicks)
(slides crayons)
(rolls crayons)
What?
What is happening?
(rolls crayons)
(slides and clicks)
(taps box)
(slides and clicks crayons)
(lounge music plays)
(rapidly slides crayons)
I wonder if these actually write.
Nope.
Oh!
Oh hello ...
hello.
Hello how are you?
Uh purple orange
Yellow green.
Still nothing.
(slides box)
Okay we've gotten somewhere.
(slides box)
(slides and clicks crayons)
(lounge music plays)
Maybe now I have to put them the other way,
purple orange yellow green.
(slides and clicks)
It's not doing anything.
Ugh.
(slides box)
Purple orange yellow green.
(slides and click crayons)
(slides crayons)
(lounge music plays)
(slides crayon)
(slides crayons)
Oh,
oh look at this.
That moved.
Is that supposed to move?
Did I break it?
Wait what if I push them all down?
(wiggles box)
(slides crayons)
Oh!
(slides box)
Oh!
Boom!
Whoa ...
That just blew my mind.
That's crazy.
How does that even work?
Then ...
Okay I want to test something out.
What if I don't put them in order?
It doesn't open.
Oh my god are you kidding me?
I have to put them in order for that ...
That's insane.
How does it even work?
It's like a combination lock,
is what it is.
(slides and clicks box)
Boom.
Just like that,
that is the sickest little puzzle box I've ever seen.
Actually cool actually cool.
Man that's cool.
Alright I got to change the order around
so that the next person has a hard time with it.
That is actually cool.
There you have it.
The crayon puzzle or crayon holder or organizer.
There you go.
Alright guys that about wraps it up.
That was my experience at solving the kind of
difficult crayon organizer by Karakuri.
Really really happy with this puzzle.
Something that you can rack your brain on
for quite a while before understanding anything.
I mean I love puzzles that give you a clue,
whether that's in writing,
or in this case with the colors of the crayons.
I just think there's something
really fascinating about that,
and it gives you something.
You're not working blindly.
So really appreciated that.
