- Yo what's up guys and welcome back.
Wednesday, puzzle day.
Before we get into today's video, I just wanna
little bit of a side note
we got merch coming.
First Clothing Co is upon us
and we're about to drop some hats
some bombers.
Some
I actually probably
I probably shouldn't say drop some bombers on YouTube
for sure that's getting flagged.
We're going to be selling some
jackets
and shirts as well.
That coming up soon in the next week or two
so stay tuned for that if you wanna support the channel.
It's a great way to do so.
Also, you'll probably get it before Christmas
unless you're in Australia.
Today we're looking at a key lock.
Now what is a key lock, you may say?
(laughs)
I've got just the answer.
It's a key, that's a lock.
The objective here is to open the key-shaped lock
with the help of a small key that is attached.
The only problem is
where do you put it in order to open the lock?
This is a nice showpiece metal puzzle
that has a great eye appeal.
I'm not gonna say that, that's what's written here.
I'm not gonna say that.
I just said it, but I didn't mean it.
It is actually a really cool piece.
It looks kinda dope.
This is from Jean Claude Constantin.
He's known for making just about every puzzle there is.
They're sold out currently on Puzzle Master
but you can check out other key locks on their site
I'll leave the link below.
Without any further ado
(whistling)
Look at this little guy.
This is a key, as you can see
and apparently, it is hard to open.
Let's get the timer here.
(beeping)
Get this started.
First things first, I think
maybe we take this key out of here.
This tiny key in the big key, we take it out.
Like so.
Okay, so I think that's the latch
and I think the point here is to
undo this part for that to open
cause this looks welded here
and this looks like the opening.
This as well looks welded.
(gentle music)
Oh, this moves.
What do we have here?
Hmm, interesting.
(gentle music)
Maybe the other way.
(metallic sounds)
Oh.
(gentle music)
I had to pull.
There we go.
(gentle music)
(banging)
(gentle music)
(metallic sounds)
Okay, there's an opening
it seems like for this key, in here.
However, it kinda turns and it's kinda empty.
Now there's nothing to hook it on
it kinda just like turns.
Yeah, it's empty, but I don't know if you guys can see that
you probably can't see.
Uh, maybe, right there.
You see down here on the inside of it
there's a notch for that key
it doesn't do anything.
So
wondering if I can
once I push it and I twist it
No see it just...
There's a seam on the
on the key here.
(gentle music)
No it doesn't seem to
it doesn't seem to unscrew.
Hmm.
(metallic sound)
Huh, okay so I have no idea
what this key is for yet
because
actually no.
Because it fits in there, but it doesn't actually
wait, hold on.
(banging)
What if
(banging)
what if you gotta go this way?
(metallic sound)
No.
(grunting)
Weird.
There's like grease on this too.
Don't know why there'd be grease on there.
(banging)
So there's no seam on this thing here
so this thing definitely does not move.
This thing however
does have a seam on this side.
So if you can see this ring
right around the ring, there is a seam there
but on this side it seems to be welded
or soldered or whatever.
So I believe that this
comes apart somehow.
Maybe the key is one of those red herrings
where it actually has nothing to do with anything.
Cause yeah, it just kinda turns in there
it doesn't lock onto anything.
So I lock it on by putting it into that key notch
and then trying to turn it
and that doesn't work either.
I mean, if that would work, so would just twisting it here.
Hmm.
All right, so the few things that we know about this thing
is that there's a latch here
probably opens here
there is a line on this key
which makes it look like it can open.
There is a space up here, no space down here.
This is soldered, that is also one piece
it does not come apart, it doesn't look like.
So, that's kind of all we know right now.
What would you do in this instant?
Comment below exactly what you would do.
Would you
would you try forcing this apart?
Would you try banging it?
Spinning it?
(laughs)
What would you do with this?
Is this useful in any capacity?
Or is it just
are we done with this piece?
The fact that this still has a line here bugs me
and I don't know if that is just meant to throw me off
like that line right there.
(grunting noise)
Doesn't wanna move, any of this.
Neither does this part.
There's no noise.
(banging)
Wonder if there's like a bump lock
in here somewhere.
(banging)
Doesn't sound like it.
(gentle music)
This moves ever so slightly if I push down on it
but I think that's just the hinge here moving
but like very little
maybe do this.
(metallic sounds)
Hmm.
(banging)
(gentle music)
(metallic sounds)
I feel like this should
unscrew.
(grunting)
but it won't.
(gentle music)
(grunting)
(banging)
(gentle music)
Oh, there we go.
And so
normally to open
and I had a suspicion, I just kinda had to force it there
but normally to open anything that twists
you gotta twist it sorta counterclockwise, right?
And that's
the sorta trick here is that twisting this counterclockwise
automatically tightens this
because this one you need to twist
clockwise
for it to
for it to open up.
So that opens up and I'm guessing that once that's open
ah, there we go.
See now we have
Ah, that's so clever, see now we have that.
That's sort of what I've been seeing
from the inside of that hole, but obviously I couldn't get
I couldn't get in there enough with my key
to open it, now I can.
I should be able to just
(metallic sounds)
open it.
(metallic sounds)
Okay, well for some reason that's not working either.
Does this, oh my God
does this open even further?
(gentle music)
Okay there's no more seams.
(gentle music)
(metallic sounds)
(calm music)
(metallic click)
(calm music)
Still loose in there.
Gotta kinda find that groove.
(metallic sounds)
So I see this bit moving now
I found that groove to where I'm twisting it
and there's a resistance here.
Watch the end of that
watch this here, it's going to move
and I don't know why it's not opening
but it will move.
(calm music)
Ever so slightly, there it is.
Maybe I just keep twisting it?
(calm music)
Starting to wonder if the mechanism is actually busted
because I do feel resistance when I turn to the left here
there's a constant resistance
but it just kinda keeps spinning
without any progress and the only thing I see
is this thing sort of moving a little bit
and I'm wondering whether or not, when I get to that point
is it supposed to unclick and just maybe
the mechanism is bent or broken.
That's kind of where I'm at right now.
(metallic sound)
But of course there have been plenty of times
where I thought the puzzle was broken
and it's just, I didn't find the solution.
There again, if you keep your eye on this part of the lock
right here
when I get to, hold on
You gotta, get, there we go
When I get to that and I start spinning it here
you'll see it move up and down
it kind of moves.
(calm music)
But I can't move it back.
(metallic sound)
(calm music)
(metallic sounds)
(twisting sounds)
(metallic sounds)
Oh.
Ooh, there we go.
So it's not about spinning it, it's just about (laughs)
latching it in and pulling, and there's a spring.
Oh well, now we know.
(metallic sounds)
Oh that's kinda cool actually.
(beeping sound)
So here
once this key's out, the trick is actually put it in there
turn it, so it locks and then
if you pull, that's when it opens up.
(metallic click)
So funny cause a key is always going to
is always gonna make you think that you have to turn it
and this is just
it's just a funny way of using a key where you can put it in
right about there
and now it's loose in there.
I can spin it all I want
but once I find that groove and I get it in
I just have to make sure that the edge of my key
connects to that little inner-ring.
So once that's in there
once you find that
there we go, now you pull and now it opens.
How cool is that?
That's actually pretty cool.
(metallic click)
And you can't, okay so
I was wondering if I could maybe lock the key in here
but you can't, because you actually need the key
to close it as well
and then once it's closed, and then you can extract it.
Hey, pretty cool.
Uh, this way.
(calm music)
(grunting)
And this one goes in normally.
And there you go, the key lock.
Pretty cool.
Hot
(banging)
(grunting)
So there you go
that was it, that was the puzzle.
The key lock.
Not so bad, not super difficult, quite fun
and I think this is just cool enough
for someone to fiddle around with
and someone who's not familiar with puzzles
to end up solving, which is cool.
You don't have to know a lot of puzzles
to solve things like this, which I think is kinda cool
Let me know what you thought below.
Like this video, subscribe if you're new here
and we'll see you
on the next video.
Peace.
(grunting)
I'm not gonna throw it, I'm not gonna
this is a brand new hat.
These are the new hats by the way.
Not throwing it.
Not throwing it, so
we'll see you later.
(grunting)
Sorry Lee.
