Right? He pulled out the 5x5 and I was like "jesus christ". and then he kept pulling out new ones, and I kept not expecting it until 8x8. That was such a fun and amazing surprise moment. :)

Wow! I don’t think that I have commented on one of your videos yet, but after watching this display of tenacity, I just had to say something! Thanks for all of your great content, and I hope that you keep on puzzling!
it's impressive that from the start you had such a clear idea of how it had to be solved, so (for you) the challenge was largely one of labour and concentration
@@shadesmarerik4112 You mean determining the next move is polynomial, I presume? That is not so weird, is it? For instance, in the travelling salesman, determining whether a solution path is shorter than some distance is polynomial, but checking that it is shorter than all other paths is non-polynomial. In a sense, even for the most complex algorithms, one sufficiently detailed step of the algorithm is polynomial... ;-)
Yes I watched the whole video 😀 TBH I didn’t understand what I was watching but as I was watching the timer I was finding it and you more and more hilarious 😆 Congratulations on the solve - what an achievement lol Not something I would ever want to try myself 😂
Ok I had to pause the video after seeing the biggest of those Constantin square puzzles and do some number crunching... Tl;dr it's a bit beyond my maths ability! But I think the biggest probably requires over 1 million moves, or to use the naming scheme of Leontev's cube you could call it "The 2 Week Puzzle"! ~~Warning, bad maths follows~~ As best as I can guess, the number of moves roughly doubles with each extra slider, so x4 with each bigger puzzle. It's pretty complicated, as to move a slider, you need to move all the previous sliders that cross it (eg to move slider 6 you would need to move sliders 1 3 and 5), but also sometimes later on, the sliders are already in the correct position so you can get the first half-step without needing to move certain other ones. For example in the 2x2, to move slider 4 the first half-step requires 11 moves, but the second step only takes 8 moves as you can immediately just move slider 3 back. I made a little model of the 3x3 to try out and got these numbers for the required moves to move each slider fully in for the first time: 1 = 1, 2 = 4, 3 = 9, 4 = 19, 5 = 40, 6 = 77 So my guess of doubling each time seems kinda ok? The actual formula for the number of moves is probably much more complicated than just x2 but honestly I have no idea where to start to work it out! This also doesn't actually *solve* the puzzle, i.e. move the little ball to the exit (to be honest I'm not exactly sure what that requires just by looking at it, I'm guessing you need to have pairs of consecutive sliders in the same position to move the ball across?) but the way I see it, you're definitely required to _at least_ move the final slider in, so these numbers are a good lower bound for the number of moves needed. So without any better place to start, if we just start from 77 and double it 14 more times (to make up the 20 sliders on the 10x10), that gets us to about 1.26 million. Since all my working is incredibly rough, my guess would be that actually moving the 20th slider would require less than that (but getting to the actual solution might make up some of the difference?). 1.26 million moves at one move per minute would be take 14.6 days... Not sure that Mr Puzzle would be willing to go through all that, somehow! Maybe you could do 1000 moves a day, would keep you busy for 3-and-a-half years or so :) Anyway would be interested to see if anyone can improve on these horrendous estimates (I feel like that Brilliant ad is directed at me and my poor maths haha)! Scrolling through other comments I see Dysan27 gave a number of 1,572,862 (3 x 2^19), would love to know who's closer...
@6:25 That is what i call a Generational Puzzle. You require dedication from generations of your family to complete it without making any mistakes lol.....
Those NxN puzzles seem like a good opportunity for students to program a robotic arm. Because let's be real if you solve them manually, you're either alone on a deserted island or need professional help.
Those mazes remind me of the infamous wooden locks that require a ridiculous amount of utterly repetitive steps to open them. And so does the cube, now that I think about it 🤔
Good thing that it’s a bit procedural to solve. Could you imagine if it was utterly random…? Really neat puzzles and good job solving that crazy cube! =]
As a kid, I had this round puzzle with 10 pegs on it, labeled 1 - 10, and you had to slide them back and forth starting at one, in a sequence similar to those slider puzzles. That just became fun to do as a sort of "I'm bored and need to do something with my hands" kind of way Oh yeah, the idea of the puzzle was to get all 10 pegs to the outside. I think it was like 1 moved the most, so you had to move 1 out, then 2 would move out, then move 1 back in, then 3 moved out, then 2 back in, and then 1... I forget exactly, but the 1 peg got warn out after a long time of playing with it. Still remember it fondly
The spoiler alert is completely moot for this puzzle. I mean, I was lost after 5 moves so I'm pretty sure there's no chance anyone could watch and copy the entire sequence - even if they watched it in real-time. Congratulations, Mr Puzzle !!!

You've conditioned us to expect the reset after the solve and can't leave your loyal fans in that kind of limbo!
All is forgiven?...NO! 🤣 Kudos Mr. Puzzle for your dedication to find the solution... without going insane. Aside: Does this puzzle remind anyone else of the scifi movie "Cube"? A group of people trapped in a constantly re-arranging building of cubes... trying to escape. I couldn't solve either puzzles. 🤯
@Mr.Puzzle When will this puzzle be available to purchase? Will they make more? This is an amazing puzzle and great solve !!! I checked on the site and it's out of stock, only 86 copies were released, please help us out to get this puzzle, thanks!
I got the feedback from Eric Fuller who made this puzzle that he will not do it again. It was really difficult to do. Even if the price seems high its actually cheap if you compare it to the amount of work and expertise needed to realize it. There will be no future batch. But the inventor is selling 3D printed copies. That work the same and are a little smaller and easier to operate.
That was absolutely brillant. The patience you have is amazing. I would have gone crazy many times. Congratulations. Now you just have to cut 135 minutes off your time. Lol 👍😀🔥👏
That is a beautiful brute of a puzzle. I don't think I could get that solved. I have a Titan I have been looking at on my desk that is intimidating me, that one would be a hard nope.
It would be awesome if a robotic TH-camr would take on those 8x8, 9x9 and 10x10 slider puzzles. I wonder if the parts would last long enough or wear out before finishing?
The 4x4 took 21 moves. A video for the 4x4 says it takes "500+". Without sitting down to perform discrete math and create a simple algorithm predicting number of moves per width (cells), I wonder if anything can be inferred from those two number sets.
@@hyperbaroque You mean the *2x2* with 4 squares took 21 moves? My initial back-of-the-envelope calculation assumed that in order to make one move on the next square, you needed 3 moves in the previous one. For four squares, to move the last square, you would then need to move the first one 3^3 = 27 times, which is about in line with your number. However, this grows ultrafast. For the 4x4 puzzle, if all squares need to be done progressively, you need about 3^15 = 14 million moves. The 5x5 would never be solvable in a human lifetime already. So I presume not all squares are needed. If you do something similar based on the number of sliders instead of squares, then the 2x2 case remains the same. Every next bigger puzzle then requires 9x as many moves, so an order of magnitude more. The 5x5 can be done with about 20 thousand moves, a day perhaps if you are proficient. That sounds more reasonable. Higher than 5x5 would become undoable or boring, I bet.
This was pure puzzle madness! 😅
