- Yo, what's up guys and welcome back.
Wednesday, puzzle day, hope you enjoyed that intro.
I'm really looking forward to this puzzle.
I love lock puzzles,
they're probably one of my favorite puzzles
in the entire world, scoured the globe for this one,
by the way, left the link below if you're interested,
it's called the HoKey CoKey or Hokey Pokey
or in New Zealand, the Hokey Tokey Lock puzzle.
I'm gonna read to you a little bit
of the product description.
"Sung the song, you've danced the dance.
"Now, own the puzzle lock.
"The HoKey CoKey Lock is a trick opening lock
"which means that it opens
"in a non-conventional, secret manner."
I think we know that.
"In the U.S.A., the song the lock is named after
"is known as the Hokey Pokey and in New Zealand,
"the Hokey Tokey."
All right. (chuckling)
"Puzzle has been made by modifying a standard brass padlock.
"The HoKey CoKey Lock is the first puzzle lock
"designed by Ali Morris and was Steve's exchange puzzle
"at the 38th International Puzzle Party."
IPP 38.
"Puzzle comes with a key chain bottle opener
"which vary in color.
"Whole puzzle including the keys,
"weighs about 175 grams
"stands about 90 millimeters tall and 40 millimeters wide."
For all you spec nerds out there, there you go.
All I know that this puzzle doesn't probably open
with these keys as you know, you'd probably figure.
So without any further ado, actually a little bit more ado.
If you notice I'm wearing a really cool hat today,
these are not available yet, and they're not finished.
This is a prototype of a hat.
We're working on a bunch of merch right now.
First, being the brand of the merch,
and I can't wait to share that with you guys.
It'll be in the next, I would say in the next month or so.
Yeah, I'll give you a closer look at those items
as they're produced.
So, guys, no more ado.
Let's get into solving the HoKey CoKey,
Tokey Pokey Lock puzzle.
(whistles)
(keys clatter)
Here we go.
This is the thing.
Here's the Hokey Hokey, HoKey CoKey, or Hokey Pokey Lock.
Yeah, "The HoKey CoKey Lock,
"an exchange gift from Steve Nichols,
"designed by Ali Morris."
(grunts)
(timer beeps)
(chuckling)
You thought, but no.
So here we are.
(lock clicking)
This isn't open,
and I'm gonna be the guy
who uses the keys
and expects this to open right now, hold on.
'Cause you know.
Oh, what a surprise,
it doesn't open.
Oh, this one.
Oh, look at that, it doesn't open.
Yeah, we knew that going in.
What's this thing?
What is this thing?
Oh, maybe like this.
(sighs)
(lock clicking)
Yeah, (chuckling) okay, we got this,
I think this is a bottle opener.
Why
this is on here,
I don't know.
Is it just simply to, you know,
to label it?
Or does it actually have something to do with this puzzle?
(lock clicking)
There's no way of finding out.
Give it a good ol',
(lock thuds)
give it a good old spin.
It's definitely gonna work.
So also, there's a little hole here.
I believe every lock has this kind of little hole,
so, I'm not too worried about that.
Let's have a look at this, does this come apart?
Is there an extra tool?
(groans)
Yeah, okay.
I don't know what to do.
What is this?
Huh?
(light music)
Maybe the clue to opening this lock
has to do with the nursery rhyme.
HoKey CoKey rhyme.
"Hokey Pokey is a popular children's song and dance,
"very catchy melody."
So, "You put your right foot in,
"you put your right foot out."
I don't see how that's gonna help me here.
"And then you shake it," oh, "you shake it all about."
(lock rattling)
So, oh, okay, hold on.
Maybe these are clues.
Ah, okay.
"You put your right foot in, you put your right foot out,
"you put your right foot in, and you shake it all about.
"You do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around
"and that's what it's all about."
Okay, so,
there are two keys.
Are these keys identical?
They're not.
Why are they different?
So maybe, you put your right key in,
you take your right key out.
You put your left key in, and then you shake it all about.
(lock clicking)
You do the hokey cokey and you turn yourself around.
Oh wait, turn yourself around.
Even the keys go in backwards.
Hello.
Maybe not.
There's gotta be more to this.
Let's keep reading the clues.
It just repeats itself.
You put your whole self in, you put your whole self out,
you put your whole self in, and you shake it all about.
You do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around.
Okay.
In,
out,
in,
you do the hokey pokey,
and you
turn yourself around.
Wait, why is this not going in like it was?
Oh, interesting.
In,
out.
In,
out.
(lock clicking)
(chuckling)
Well now, that's not right.
I mean, what else can we get from this nursery rhyme here?
Other than, you put it in, you put it out,
you put it in, you shake it all about.
Turn it around and that's what it's all about.
Okay, so, I mean, in,
out.
In...
(mysterious music)
(lock rattling)
(chuckling)
Why do I have a bottle opener?
You put the right
(key clicking)
in.
(lock rattling)
There was a little sound in there.
You see that?
Maybe, okay, hold on.
In...
(chuckling)
I don't know what I'm doing.
(grunts)
Yeah, there's definitely, (gasps), oh!
Look at this mi amigo.
Of course, it is!
(clicks)
(upbeat music)
Of course, it's a thing like that.
What does that mean?
Look at that, that seam just absolutely disappears.
You can't even tell where the seam is boomed on.
Some really good, really good machining.
But now what?
That one you can just fit back in there, that's no problem.
Wait, oh wait, that is a problem.
Why did I do that?
Oh,
it just goes in, and then,
comes out.
So that's it.
The keys have nothing to do with anything.
But what does this have to do with the nursery rhyme?
Before we speak too quickly here...
(clicks)
Locked.
That's all it is.
This goes here,
that comes here, that goes there, and that's it.
Boom, done,
(beeps) solved!
Not too hard at all.
The keys are just an illusion.
They're just a ruse, ladies and gentlemen.
So the mechanic here,
basically, inside this lock, there are these like ledges,
and if that goes in through the ledge,
like that, there's no ledge there,
but if I put that in,
it'll come out as soon as
I rotate, whoops,
as soon as I rotate this, so that goes there,
and as soon as this rotates, and it can come out.
That's really cool.
Keys not required.
Bottle opener,
I mean, I guess if you're celebrating afterwards
after opening this lock,
you can pop yourself a bottle of booze.
But yeah, very cool.
Easy, kinda easy.
I mean, mind you I would've been on this for hours
if I hadn't noticed that seam.
And I guess shaking it,
doing the hokey pokey made it come loose,
and then that's how I, that's what it's all about.
Yeah, (chuckling).
So lame.
Boom, so, here's my question,
why not just,
why not just put this in there then?
Well, I guess 'cause they wanted you to use the keys
and kinda dinker around with it like I did.
Boom!
There you go.
Well, there you have it!
Ladies and gentlemen, that was the Hokey Pokey
Tokey Lokey Nokey Pokey puzzle.
It was a fun little puzzle to do.
Remind me a lot of the Danlock B puzzle
where part of the loop unscrews.
But with brass puzzles, as you can see right here,
we've got a close-up image
of when you sort of unscrew it, the seam
is so well-hidden and so well-disguised with brass puzzle
that it basically becomes invisible
when screwed together, which is really cool.
And it's one of those cool things,
cool elements that you can add to lock puzzles
because of the fact they're made of brass.
So it adds a little bit of a secret to it,
which I thought was really cool.
Keys don't do anything.
The bottle opener doesn't do anything.
So those are all just red herrings meant to throw you off,
which is really cool.
I do enjoy that.
I don't enjoy fiddling with things that don't work.
But I want to solve it, it's cool.
So anyways guys, that's it for the video.
Thanks for watching.
Hope you enjoyed it.
Like, comment, subscribe, all that good stuff,
and we'll see you on the next video.
Peace, rah!
You gotta cover it up completely.
Are you still rolling?
- [Cameraman] Yeah.
- Okay, do the, we're gonna--
- [Cameraman] I did do like that, I just missed it.
- You missed.
- [Cameraman] I went like half.
- Don't do half.
Okay, we're gonna try this again.
Take two.
Lee is gonna be, 'cause the camera, you gotta understand
is like 15 feet from me right now.
So I can't do like the whole peace, rah thing.
So we're gonna it where like, Lee is gonna be my hand.
It's gonna look like garbage, but here we go.
Peace rah!
That was better.
