A different but equally interesting strategy I've found is to randomly put pieces together without any kind of method or organization, get frustrated, and give up. Give it a try sometime!
another consideration that may help your solution is to calculate the volume of the final shape in cubes, and see if it equals the summed volume of the individual pieces. If it does then you know that any configuration with an unfillable cube are not valid even if the piece fits. If the volumes are unequal it at least informs you of the number of unfilled cubes in the final arrangement.
from looking at the video the volume of the combined shape is 80 cubed units, and the volumes of each piece as you labeled them are A=14, B=18, C=24, D=15, E=17, F=16, these sum to 80 cubed units. Assuming I've made no errors this confirms that any configuration with an unfillable gap is a nonviable solution and can be eliminated from the possible combinations
I believe that's correct! I didn't get a chance to talk about unfilled vs. filled, or levels of burrs, because I'm trying to keep the videos a reasonable length and focused. This is a great technique, though!
I like your approach to this. it involves a reduction of combinations along with building a decision tree of potential (and impossible) sets that may fit. It seems this how a computer program may attempt to solve an issue. Some of the negative comments said this approach was too involved. These puzzles could likely be solved more randomly or intuitively but your approach is more of a process or formula for how to approach it. I liked this insight.
I really love these videos showing showing the thought-processes behind solving puzzles. I loathed puzzles as a kid and never even thought about picking one up again until I randomly found a couple puzzle-solving channels here on YT. I always thought you were just supposed to fiddle around with the parts for absolute ages until you accidentally and randomly found a solution and I cannot begin to describe how mind-numbingly boring I thought puzzles were. But thanks to videos like this they actually look pretty entertaining now.
I've got one of these that dates from the 1910s! must have been an early model. I played with it a while and ended up writing a C++ program to brute-force the solution for me, cause I had trouble figuring it out
I've seen loads of puzzles like these and, usually, the solid piece is what holds it togrther.. it's like a pin on a grenade, it falls apart of removed..except no delay..
Every time I watch one of your videos it makes me feel dumb. You make puzzles seem so easy to figure out to where as I would never in a years time be able to solve or figure out half the puzzles you do. Lol
Do you absolutely want to drive your spouse frickin crazy????? Get him one of these puzzles and then have him watch this guy try and explain it to you, but put the video on at .5 speed. He will drive you insane like he did me and I have to thank my wife for that!!!!!
This was easily the most obnoxious puzzle solution video I have ever seen! You literally couldn't tell what what the orientation of each piece was unless you rewound it 5 times. Sooooo frustrating
This is literally the best one lmao. All the other ones simply tells you step by step the solution. This one teaches you the thinking process to solve all different variation of the burr puzzle. “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.”
Hola, podrías haber sido menos explicativo y más práctico, enseñando las figuras y haciendo todo más despacio, el el último segundo lo montas todo y se ve nada de nada
when you see the video in the right bar saying no views and you think YORR! then you watch it and it has 500 views and you think 500TH VIEWER! and then you realise your the 501st viewer.
You really find the most dificult way to solve this puzzle
dude for real
This video, and others you've made, have helped me learn a new tool for puzzle solving. It never occurred to me to be so methodical. Thanks!
Omg I remember having this puzzle when I was 10!It was so easy to take it apart but then it was impossible to solve it.Nice video mate!
I hope you can tackle it now! Thank you!
Turtles are neat and so is fleb
yes
That's the most innocent TH-cam comment I've seen all day
I like turtles
A different but equally interesting strategy I've found is to randomly put pieces together without any kind of method or organization, get frustrated, and give up. Give it a try sometime!
Instructions unclear, the puzzle is solved and I randomly destroyed my life and have given up on TH-cam
Wonderful approach

Thank you. You just saved a puzzle from becoming firewood.
Thanks for sharing an organized approach for solving this puzzle. My approach was just a random search. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much, it realy helped
That is a logical approach to solve this kind of puzzles. Quite interesting.

You should give it another shot! I'm very happy to get comments like yours, a.devon, because that's the goal of this channel!
I WILL HAVE ORDER!
That moment when the trees start approaching and anyone who touches them dies by having holes randomly dug into them.
how is this guy going to explain everything besides the actual puzzle i was following along until the last minute he did it so fast 🤦🏽♀️
Excellent explanation! Thank you

Zhongli's meteorite
Aerosyderite
Finally a puzzle that i do have!!! 🎉😍
I've seen loads of puzzles like these and, usually, the solid piece is what holds it togrther.. it's like a pin on a grenade, it falls apart of removed..except no delay..
Love it, I had one of these growing up. One of the few puzzles I could solve lol
the most complicated video i've ever seen xoxo
Great stuff again! Every time i watch your video's i learn something new. Thanks, i really enjoyed watching this.
Thanks for watching Grote! I'm glad to hear you enjoy it!
Every time I watch one of your videos it makes me feel dumb. You make puzzles seem so easy to figure out to where as I would never in a years time be able to solve or figure out half the puzzles you do. Lol
Nice. A 14 piece Burr with this method will take forever. But thanks for the tips anyway.
Thanks Fleb, very interesting technique
Thanks for watching poof65!
Do you absolutely want to drive your spouse frickin crazy????? Get him one of these puzzles and then have him watch this guy try and explain it to you, but put the video on at .5 speed. He will drive you insane like he did me and I have to thank my wife for that!!!!!
The other thing you could take int account is that part "C" had to be the last part in,
I finished it, but it was very tough and I had to pause the video a lot because I couldn’t find the same pieces and how u put them.
JUST SOLVE THE PUZZLE
let's say we have EA
we would have to pay the other pieces for 9.99 each
THE OTHER PIECES ARE JUST COSMETIC!!!!
Or you can preorder for $150 and wait for a year for it to be delivered .. missing 2 pieces
I did not know that this puzzle is that old
thankyou!!
I can't actually follow this though! Sat here picking up pieces then putting them down.
mine must be worn out when you tip it so the c is vertical it slides out with no force.
I felt confident the day I took it apart!...... I didn’t get it......
Hey FLEB! :) :)
I here mario dieing every time in the backround
d can fit in there alright
That "would work"... or is it woodwork? :D
this guy doesn't even show us what he did
OIC. Long story short. Keep track of what you are doing. Start with the piece that has the least combination and use process of elimination.
I can't remove this
This is the worst way ever.
Cool
4:54 EA
Doot doot
I see you too are an intellectual.
inb4 EA takes this video down
Hamilton puzzle?
Thought it said butt
Got a headache
Just solve the puzzle. No need to get full theoretical about it. You just made it way more confusing than it should've...
I have to skip almost the whole video because he is just talking. He wont get to the point on how to solve it.
HAMILTON FANS WHERE YOU AT
Not here
Pardon me, are you Arron Burr, Sir?
Max Ihmels no
That depends who's asking.
Oh sure sir, I'm Alexander Hamilton I'm at your service sir
im sorry to hate on this but could you please JUST tell us how to solve not with all the talking in between
This was easily the most obnoxious puzzle solution video I have ever seen! You literally couldn't tell what what the orientation of each piece was unless you rewound it 5 times. Sooooo frustrating
This wasn't a direct tutorial - it was a video designed to help you improve your thinking with 6 piece burrs and similar puzzles.
This is literally the best one lmao. All the other ones simply tells you step by step the solution. This one teaches you the thinking process to solve all different variation of the burr puzzle. “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day.

Mal muy mal, se menos explicativo y más visual, que se vean las piezas que se puedan identificar y como lo haces
EI EI...0
OOF
no vas al grano, das muchas vueltas
Painful
You have a way to dark screen you could barely see and you talk to much
Hello Fleb! Do you remember me? ;D
worst explanation ever... we tried to solve this riddle...
ahhhh - pleaser just come up with the soluton...! :D
99% of this video is just explaining what pieces DON'T fit together. just tell me how to solve it already!
V
did not like this one. fell asleep.
Tenth!
Anyone elso automatically think of Aaron burr
Fester Blats its from hamiton
So annoying the explanation.
Not helpfull this video
God dammit stop so much
Nul.. so boring if u dont know how do that stop video bro
Firsttttty
