- I've got a deck of cards here
that is completely mixed up, as you can see.
I'm going to attempt to give it one shuffle.
(gentle music)
Just like so.
And hopefully, I don't know if this will work...
Oh, look at that.
Look at that.
We have...
New deck order all the way to the end.
What's up, guys?
And welcome back.
Today we are tackling three puzzles in a special episode.
I am going to try and unlock all three of these puzzles
within 45 minutes.
Hopefully this works.
These puzzles range from intermediate to difficult,
to level seven to level 10.
They are pretty trying,
and although they look unassuming and cute,
they might be difficult.
First and foremost, we're looking at this little,
mini, cute cannon puzzle.
This little cannon holds a secret on the inside,
which is a cannonball,
and the whole point of this is to extract the cannonball,
and then once again put the puzzle back together again.
I got this puzzle from Mr. Puzzle in Australia.
It is made of metal, pretty solid,
and it looks like a little toy.
Number two, this is a variation
of the Hard As Nails puzzles.
Hard As Nails, being a very difficult puzzle itself,
this one an added difficulty
because there's an extra bend in the nails.
The point of this, once again,
is to take them apart and to put them back together again,
which should prove more difficult than taking it apart.
Not looking forward to that one.
Number three is the Hanayama Donut puzzle.
This is an interlocking puzzle,
which is made to be taken apart.
A four stars out of six,
making it roughly a level seven or eight puzzle.
Very tactile puzzles.
Not much to figure out in terms of logical thinking,
just more of a tactile test.
So hopefully I get all three of these done
within 45 minutes.
That is the goal.
Without further ado, let's get into solving these puzzles.
(imitates cannon exploding)
And the timer is on.
Let's begin.
This is a little cannon.
Okay, first things first, this unscrews.
And this unscrews.
Whoops.
Okay.
Seems to be something inside there, like a little,
like almost like I can use a screwdriver or something
to unscrew that.
Hmm.
Okay, these things are actually different colors.
Okay.
So I'm guessing that the wheels come off
and I can use this as a tool because there doesn't seem,
unless another part unscrews, but...
So I get this pin out.
Oh, that actually does come out.
Okay.
But I mean, I can't pull it out.
Ah!
I'm using my teeth, but I'll probably break my teeth.
Why can't I pull that out?
I mean...
Oh, these two pieces fit together.
That's interesting.
But what does that...
Have to do...
With anything?
Oh!
Oh.
Oh, look at this.
Oh!
Look at that.
That's like a little screwdriver.
Okay.
Well, that's coming out.
There we go.
I've created a little tool
and using the cannon.
Oh, look.
There it is, a little cannonball.
That's cool.
That's a neat little puzzle.
I really like that.
I like surprises like this.
Huh, okay.
Very fun puzzle.
Okay.
I think I may have messed this up.
Yes, this goes here.
Oh, it was threaded in backwards.
And then this goes in.
I see.
They reversed the thread to mess you up.
And that, oh.
Let me just tighten this for the next person
that tries it out.
That has to be tight.
And this goes in there.
And...
Voila.
Little baby, mini cannon solved.
Boom, 8 and 1/2 minutes.
(imitates exploding)
This is a cool one.
I like these little tactile ones because
all it is is just you gotta find that sweet spot.
Let's see.
Let's see if I can...
A lot of times it's like symmetrical movements.
There's no way that that's fitting through there.
No force.
I could probably force it through.
There we go.
That's something.
I did something there.
Oh, now I'm in this position.
Interesting.
And now we gotta line up the two heads somehow.
And back to the beginning.
Okay, I was here.
Boom.
And we moved here.
And that brought us here
to where they're both facing that way.
But once I'm here...
Well, that's weird.
Okay, now I'm here.
No idea what's happening.
But things are happening.
All right, square one.
I'm here.
What did I do?
What did I do before?
This is where you start.
I gotta put the body through the other body somehow.
This one's a little bit more difficult.
Oh, there we go.
I made it turn.
That's good, I think.
I'm still in the same position, okay.
(chuckles)
I think I had it before,
I just don't remember how I got there.
To truly solve these puzzles,
you need to remember how you got there.
(hums)
Yeah, this one's proving a lot more difficult.
This is really hard because
there initially was a puzzle like this
where these nails were straight.
Now they're curved.
It adds an extra layer to it for sure, for sure, for sure.
Here we go, here we go.
We're getting somewhere.
We are definitely getting somewhere.
There we go, boom.
Okay.
This is a good position to be in.
This is where I was randomly before.
I am here now.
Ooh!
All right, that's done.
This goes back in there.
This goes here.
This goes through here.
I'm getting it back together.
This one might be a little more difficult.
(groans)
I'm, like, stuck right now,
which may or may not be a good thing.
(hums)
This one's fairly frustrating.
And back to square one.
Okay.
(chuckles)
(groans)
Wow.
Okay, good.
We're here.
Whew!
Now, hopefully I don't mess it up and go back.
Boom!
Done.
Whew.
All right, that's two down.
One, two.
Time for number three.
(imitates explosion)
Number three, let's go.
This is little donuts,
little donuts and they interlock.
I don't even know how this is.
Oh, this rotates.
Okay, that opens.
Okay.
Okay, there's a piece here that opens.
Well, this is a very bizarre puzzle.
Focus.
Thank you.
There we go.
Okay, that's opening for some reason.
These layers here turn.
There's a seam and they turn,
and then they stop and they turn and they stop.
This one has, like, a split piece,
like a little piece here,
and the outside ones have seams that open up like this.
And I don't know why.
I'm trying to figure that out.
So this, I'm guessing, has to stay on here for this to open.
Well, the seams are not even lined up.
Okay, there's...
Oh, they're not lined up.
This comes apart.
I might be able to make it come apart altogether.
I'm not sure what that's gonna do.
Oh, there we go.
Booyah.
Now, this middle seam might want to open.
Hmm.
Oh, this is coming apart now.
Hey!
Yay, the donut.
(sighs)
Okay.
That's weirdly made, isn't it?
Trying to put this back together might not be as easy.
Ah!
No!
(chuckles)
I've almost got it.
There we go.
Boom.
One, two, three.
(imitates explosion)
52 minutes.
All right, guys, that about wraps it up for this video.
Thank you so much for watching.
Those were...
I didn't actually meet the time of 45 minutes.
Came close, within an hour.
Easiest one probably being the cannon puzzle,
hardest probably being the Hard As Nails puzzle.
Did not enjoy that whatsoever, honestly.
It's fun to fidget around with,
it's just a different thing when you're on a timer
doing it for a camera.
It gets pretty frustrating.
The third one was pretty simple.
Like I said, all of them are tactile,
so it's just about moving the parts around
and finding the right orientation.
Putting them back together, on all three of them,
was actually more difficult than taking them apart,
which usually is the case.
So guys, thank you so much for watching.
