Hey, it's Aaron and we'll be going through the solution for Bastille.
This puzzle is a level eight on the Puzzle Master difficulty scale.
This puzzle and many others are
available at puzzlemaster.ca.
The main goal of this puzzle is to remove all seven of these little pie shaped
pieces out of this cube. The cube has identical windows on each side and all the
pieces inside are this kind of pie shape.
Let me just, kind of, attempt to show you,
you have relatively limited movement within this puzzle,
which makes it a little bit difficult. At the end of the day,
what we're actually going to end up doing is we want to take all these pie
shapes and essentially make a cylinder inside.
When I was originally going through this puzzle and figuring it out for myself,
I kept wanting to match up the corners with the corner
so it made lots of room, but that is not the case for the solution.
So, I'll start fiddling and doing whatnot with it. 'Cause that's what it is;
it's relatively fiddly.
You'll be rotating these pieces and
sometimes you just don't have the room to do so.
Okay, great. Now I'm kind of
stuck. So, rotate things around and we got our first layer. Good.
Now, this isn't that terribly far from the solution.
You might have more fiddling and moving around of these pieces than I do.
Judged relatively close to having it done.
And I also don't want to have an hour and a half of—
of finishing this puzzle here for you guys.
So, I'll just rotate this one, this bunch down here.
So that maybe, I can have it drop in.
Well maybe I should just rotate the top a little.
Unfortunately this probably isn't going to be the most entertaining solution
video cause it's kind of hard to see. I'm moving that chunk back up here.
So I now have four pieces that are in a cylinder shape.
And now I'll flip it over and concentrate on these three.
And really that is one of the keys to moving these around is just don't bother
with the four, just deal with the three and then switch.
If that makes sense. That was kind of vague.
Hopefully you're kind of getting the gist of it.
So we continue to rotate these and hopefully get them close to being where they
need to be.
(Laughs)
So, as I've stated, it is a little fiddly.
Doesn't help that I have these big beefy fingers. And I mean,
I'm sure lots of you guys are having problems with that too.
Kind of hard to get in and manipulate these uh,
these pie shapes.
Oh boy. I'll get there.
Once we have it in a cylinder, this will get a lot easier. Unfortunately. It is,
it is what it is and I think it's cool still. Even though you've got to
really do some sliding and Kajiggering.
Okay.
Okay. Two of these pieces look pretty good now.
Now I just gotta rotate this one
and I managed to get it stuck.
Exhilarating. Okay.
(Laughs)
Okay. So we're kind of just using the corners to give us space
sliding stuff off the way. Okay. There we go.
So now we have three in a cylinder shape and the bottom four should still be in
a cylinder shape. So we can now turn it to the side
and we're going to try to kind of match up the cracks here between the two.
So we can slide that one piece
between the two cylinders.
And then from here we can
kind of just drop this piece out of this hole.
Unfortunately, I need gravity's assistance.
Well, maybe I don't.
Maybe I can give you guys a better view. Okay. There we go.
So I have now twisted it and it will just pop out like so.
So now from here we can more or less do the same thing. I'll move one over
Off and out.
