- Woo.
Yo, what's up, welcome back. (laughs)
That's the dumbest intro.
- [Cameraman] I like this.
- Yeah just yo, I don't know, what was this?
Yo what's up?
Yo what's, we got the wide angle,
so it's like yo, what's up.
Welcome back.
(claps) All right.
Today is Wednesday.
(chill jazz)
Today is Wednesday
and we are, what are we here for?
What are we doing?
The puzzle. (laughs)
I'm never gonna make it through this intro.
Today we're looking at the puzzle... (splutters)
Getting warmed up here.
(clapping)
Get in the zone.
Mm, mm, feel it, uh. (laughs)
What the hell am I doing? (groans)
Today we're looking...
Just, just get through this one thing.
Today we're looking at a puzzle by Gary Foshee,
yes another Gary Foshee puzzle.
(claps) (laughs)
Saying the same thing twice, okay.
Today we're looking at another puzzle by Gary Foshee.
This is known as the Ring Box.
It does not look like a box at all, first of all.
It looks more like a cylinder.
Actually looks like an appearing cane.
But it rattles, there's a rattling sound on the inside.
I'm having a hard time describing this puzzle
because there's not much to it.
There's a button that you can press
and there's a cylinder that rattles.
That is the puzzle.
This is presented by Gary Foshee at the IPP... (laughs)
I can no longer say IPP with a straight face.
IPP.
(cameraman snorts) (laughing)
This is presented at the IPP 29.
It is a cool little trinket, looks cool,
and it comes in a bag, I don't have the bag.
and it comes with a paperclip and a little note
that says, solution on it.
The whole point here is to take this apart,
there's supposed to be a little brass ring on the inside,
and then put everything back to the way it was.
Pretty simple.
(object thuds)
Are you okay?
Should I call someone?
Whatever, guys.
Let's get to the video.

Today's gonna be a tough one.
It is not gonna be easy.
All right ladies and gentlemen,
without any further adieu, that was enough adieu,
let's get into solving the Ring Box puzzle.
(whistles) (imitates explosion)
Here we go,
this is the Ring Box puzzle by Gary Foshee.
Simple looking thing
kind of looks like a-
an appearing cane,
I kinda expect it to like
(imitates whipping)
Like it's Lee every time he grabs this
he's not sure if he wants to hold it
cause he thinks it's uh- it's an appearing cane.
Um...
Funny thing is, it comes with this.
Obviously, this paper has the word solution on it.
It actually came with a different paper
but I ended up losing it,
but I found that the paper doesn't actually matter,
because look,
this is for suckers.
(paper rips)
It's empty.
I mean, my head straight away goes to the paperclip.
I'm feelin' like the paperclip is part of the solution.
Uh, I don't know for sure,
maybe it's just a gag that he put that there,
um, but whatever.
We got this aside.
And we got a timer
(laughs)
Start that baby up.
Here we go.
So, first thing you notice,
(rattling)
lot of rattling going on,
there's supposed to be a ring in here.
(rattling)
There's a whole lot of rattling.
Uh, there's also a button here.
Like a spring button.
(clicking button) Like a little fidget toy.
Not super satisfying.
And there's this other inner cylinder which also turns,
so this turns independently
and then this turns as well.
And on the bottom,
It looks like you have a hole
with what seems to be like a screw,
like it has- it has threads,
like- like a screw would go through.
So, yeah, there's that.
And that's all we know right now.
So, we're gonna try to get this ring out.
Uh, I'm gonna take a shortcut here.
Take this little baby,
and see if
and no, okay.
Well, there you go.
(defeated laugh)
Worth a shot. (button clicks)
Oh, that was weird.
Kinda got stuck.
Uh, one thing I noticed is that this thing here,
this comes out a bit.
Watch.
Schoom
I don't know what that's for.
Also, there seems to be a seam all along the bottom.
Now I don't know if the camera can pick that up,
and I don't know if that's on purpose,
but there looks like a seam-
I don't know if its a seam big enough for this to unscrew.
Let me try.
Definitely not.
Maybe if I push it in and unscrew it?
Still no...
(rattles)
Um... (rattles)
Let's just listen to the noises here.
(clicks)
Oh, that's weird.
(rattling)
(thumps)
Obviously, were gonna try spinning it. (laughs)
(metal turning)
Maybe unscrew it?
(squeaking)
Hm...
(clicks)
(metal creaking inside puzzle)
Huh, that's a weird sounds.
That's like the coil of the spring being taut.
(spring moving)
We don't wanna break it...
(rattling)
(banging)
(shaking)
(thumping)
(breath blowing)
Hm, blowing in doesn't help.
I don't know how that would be a solution to anything.
Hm... Hm hm hm.
There's something I'm not seeing.
Oh?
Right here.
That looks like it would fit perfectly.
(metal clicking)
What does that do?
(metal jiggling)
Hm?
(clicking)
(rattling)
Doesn't seem to be doing anything.
So I tried turning it,
that didn't work.
Let me try- it only goes in so far.
(rattling)
This is a way to get in there more.
(button clicks)
Oh!
Here we go.
I got you.
Look at that.
(metal clinking)
Ooh.
Beautiful.
A beautiful brass ring.
Does not fit.
Very cool.
So this is the device that was in there.
Ooh, I see.
Okay, let me try to figure this out here.
So that,
All right, okay, so the ring
(metal clinks)
goes in there,
(metal clinking)
that-
where does that go?
Does that go this way?
Right. (metal clicks into place)
And then, whoops.
(metal clinks)
I don't know.
Did it get stuck?
(popping)
Whoops, I think I might have gotten it stuck.
Uh oh.
Great, I think I broke it.
I got it stuck in there.
(button clicking)
Took a piece out,
put it back,
and I'm guessing I shouldn't have done that
cause I didn't put it back the way it was
and it went click and now it's kinda stuck in there.
All right, well, looks like she's stuck.
Come on.
Yeah, there's no getting that out.
(metal clinks) Okay.
So I'm on a blog right now,
and it says here that uh-
when putting it back together,
I'll read like, I'll quote the blog.
You have to reassemble the puzzle in the way you solved it.
I mean, don't try stupid things,
like what I did, but I managed to sort it out
and reassemble the puzzle because you could jam the puzzle
for good. The collectors who have this puzzle will
understand how this can be jammed; don't try that.
I think that's exactly what I tried?
Ugh.
How do I get it out?
Oh man.
Cause I guess there's a button there
and that button is underneath that white cylinder
and it's lodged-
it's like (mouth pops) it's like protruded in there.
So wait, I think what I'll have to do,
if I'm not mistaken,
I can use this.
Pull and push?
Sort of fish it out?
(clicking) Might work.
Hm. (sighing)
I have to- I definitely have to push down and pull up.
(clicking)
I just need something strong enough to hold that there
to allow me to pull it up.
Do we have a string?
All right, so I've got this.
What imma try to do is noose it around the bottom ring,
and pull it out while I push down on this.
This is a real pain in the butt, guys.
I am no MacGyver.
This is- I feel like this is turning
into a survival channel.
Bear Grylls tackles puzzle
with garbage bag.
(clicks)
Hey!
Let's go!
All right!
All right, so not doing that again.
That's for sure.
Pushes it up and that little bead
is what got stuck on the inside of that ring.
Okay, so this goes in first.
How does that go in there?
This goes in here?
Now this goes in there.
There we are.
Back to the beginning.
Yay! Okay, we did it.
Well that was fun.
So 10 minutes to take it apart,
but then maybe another five to ten to put it back together.
Not at super difficult puzzle,
but I really like the idea of this little red herring.
Uh, which is really cool, I'll get a different paper clip
and fasten that to- to that.
But that's really cool.
Cause you're thinking like, Oh I've tried everything
fine, let me look at the solution.
And then you'd be like eh eh.
And that's where the idea of this came in.
Which is really smart.
So again, I guess if wanted to take it out
I would put that in.
So all this is useful for is to pull up
so that I can push down
and as I push down, pull up at the same time
and that would release the mechanism.
(rattling)
Very cool puzzle indeed.
Hot damn! (throws at onto floor)
(laughs)
I think I'm gonna do that every time I solve a puzzle.
Just, hot damn!
Just throw my hat on the ground and slap my knee.
What a puzzle!
That was Gary Foshee's Ring Box.
Tricky, but you didn't outsmart me Gary, no siree.
I did find it quite obvious that the paper clip
was used in the solution,
I don't know why,
I just- because I guess none of his other puzzles
ever came with a solution
and the other one they hid the little piece,
the tool that you needed inside the bag so-
He's a sneaky little guy.
Uh, he hides things in plain sight.
So I thought that was useful,
obviously I tried to put it in the bottom of
the- the cylinder,
that wasn't working and then once we discovered
where it went, it was just a matter of time
before I figured out how to open it.
Now putting it back, sure proved to be a challenge.
As I read in this blog afterwards, cause I was like,
I'm stuck help me.
Yeah, the guy's like, yeah you're in trouble. You're stupid.
Actually I think was the words he used.
He's like, don't be stupid, stupid.
But we MacGyver'd it out.
You know, found a piece of plastic.
If ever we're in a zombie apocalypse,
and there are puzzle to be solve;
you can count on me to be there for you, all right?
I'll be the last to die if puzzles are involved,
that's for sure.
