I always enjoy the narrative as you solve the puzzle. Your excitement and enthusiasm make your channel fun, not simply an intellectual process of solving the problem. Keep on puzzling!
I got a puzzle at the Dollar Store. I keep thinking there's no way, so I'm tempted to look at the solution. It's always in the back of my mind that there's some stupid solution, and not a logical number of steps.
The Prism Half cubes seem like the type of puzzle where you would benefit from thinking of them in terms of groups of possible pieces fitting together. I would write down each kind of possible joining shape and classify each piece in terms of which joining shapes it has, then looking at all the other pieces that match it, and once two are together, try a third piece that would fit one of the other two. Repeat and eliminate the possibilities until you find the right combination. Not much better than trial and error, but it's good to keep track of possibilities you've deducted so you don't keep putting the same wrong pieces together over and over. I used this approach to solve some flat tile puzzles, 9 in each that uniquely fit together in a 3x3 square, with 4 different kinds of pictures on the edges of each that have to match up. Actually, most of them have the same arrangement, just with different pictures, so once I solved one where there were distinct, asymmetric halves for each picture, I could arrange the rest in the same way. One pack was different from those, and two out of three of the puzzles in that pack joined edges symmetrically, but I managed to get those ones with a little luck.
The tricky thing is: 1) there are only two types of joints: one that points straight, and the one that points to the side; 2) for each joint you have 4-5 pieces you can fit there.
It looks like the solution of disassembling the Kissel puzzle is more difficult than the solution of assembling the puzzle. The puzzle looks very nice. The halfcubes puzzle is amazing and quite challenging.
I love the "Black Hole" nickname for the Kissel puzzle. I would also suggest calling it "Neutron Star." A neutron star isn't quite as dense as a black hole, but it's still super compressed. Also, the shape of the completed puzzle is kind of like a star, and the pieces look a little like models of molecules.
I solved the Kissel puzzle last night. It was very satisfying. I was getting so frustrated trying to fit the last piece in after the 3 were assembled (probably was just overthinking it), but I was able to get them to "magically" fall into place having two of the pieces arranged in each hand and putting them together. It was a wonderful "AHA!" moment when they snapped back into position.
The first puzzle made me immediately think of d20 because that one also has 12 corners same as that puzzle has balls. The solution to putting it together lies in arranging pieces in such away, that their long parts almost cross in a symetric way and then by pushing them together, they slide into the place all at once. In similar fashion, taking it apart should be possible by contratwist of right parts in order to create a gap between those sticks
Ahh actually 2 puzzles which I have 😊 yes the kissel is very satisfying but super tricky at the start.. I have alot of ancient wooden locks and puzzles, probably about 35 and I love each and every one for it's ingenuity... It's good for the mind I think 😉 shout out from Ireland 🇮🇪
Well, it would be if you drew an edge between each adjacent sphere, but I would describe it in terms of a dodecahedron, being the icosahedron's dual, especially since there are 12 visible spheres. I also figured the solution would involve twisting, but the actual method seems slightly more subtle than I would have guessed, and the parts involved are more elegant than I could have imagined. (This comment is meant to not spoil things too much in case anyone reading wants to try.)
I have 4 Vin&Co puzzles--all excellent! Kissel looks amazing, but Prism Halfcubes looks like the other ones I have already (still a cool solve). Thanks for posting! 😎😁👍💯🙏
When you said it was hard to even figure out how to take it apart, I immediately thought to try pushing instead of pulling. I doubt I could get it back together as fast :D
I love your puzzles and I love your voice man that you need to keep doing this that is amazing you got the perfect voice for this I don't know if you realize that
0:44 Looks like an icosahedron version of the well known dodecahedron maded of six identical parts. 4:51 Confirmed, but with less parts that make it more easy than the dodecahedron one. I would rated it as 1 of 10. The cube shape one is much more challenging, i would rate it as 6.5 of 10.

The kissel puzzle reminds me of a molecule diagram from Chemisty class. So cool.
That was my first thought 😊
That’s exactly what I was thinking. Organic Chem.
this is the inspiration
looks more like an atom rather than a molecule

Kissel is awesome. I like disassembly assembly puzzles and Kissel tics all the boxes.
Sir you deserve 5 times the number of subs. Thanks for the entertaining and incredible content.
spheres
Two beautifully designed puzzles the ball one was my favourite thanks so much for sharing
I love the Kissel. The Halfcubes is great, but... if it were made with magnets inside each piece, that would be awesome instead.
I love all the puzzle genres you tackle but there's something very satisfying about these types ... First one gets my vote...

"This one doesn't look so hard."
Fifteen minutes later...
"I took it apart finally! Now to put it together."
😂
The Kissel looks like it has some characteristics of some Hanayama puzzles. A simple movement and the pieces just snap into place.
Hello Mr. Puzzle, i have a puzzle for you. It is an oval scape with a labyrinth inside with a metal ball :D. Have fun puzzling.
Love the channel mr puzzle and I’m on team Kissel….
Please can we see the lighter puzzle you got after the lock and key one?
I'll try to do that one soon
English help: "how it looks like" should be either "how it looks" or "what it looks like" - but never "how it looks like".
Good call, but you're talking to a man who has optimized the English language down to only needing the adjectives "insane" and "satisfying".
Brilliant work Mr puzzle I love your videos keep em coming ❤
Thanks!
@@Mr.Puzzle great video today! Thank you💪😀

I like the fact that pushing the correct pieces as shown in the solution with make it come apart instantly
First time I have ever seen you so quickly review the solution on camera. I love your brain, dude. Like, you have to know how the things work. =)
My Birthday and a Mr.Puzzle video!!! What a wonderful present. :D
the molecule-looking puzzle definitely was a surprise. the cube looks like it would be insanely hard to manufacture
Ahh actually 2 puzzles which I have 😊 yes the kissel is very satisfying but super tricky at the start.. I have alot of ancient wooden locks and puzzles, probably about 35 and I love each and every one for it's ingenuity... It's good for the mind I think 😉 shout out from Ireland 🇮🇪
The ball puzzle was very deceptive. And you had so much fun with it!
0:49 I can tell you why. It's an icosahedron!

The round one 'Ducks Nuts' the cubed one 'Dogs Blocks'!
When you said it was hard to even figure out how to take it apart, I immediately thought to try pushing instead of pulling.
I doubt I could get it back together as fast :D
I loved that first puzzle!
Nice vid Mr P. I like the one with spheres but wish they had stained the wood a nicer colour…
I like the kissel puzzle a little better
That 9:18 moment 😂
i feel like the first puzzle was a glitch in the matrix, the way it fell together was insane
The logical way is to let you do it while the rest of us mere mortals watch on :D
🤣
I love your puzzles and I love your voice man that you need to keep doing this that is amazing you got the perfect voice for this I don't know if you realize that
These are awesome!!
Yes... I was surprised by your 4/5 rating, normally those kind of puzzles get 3/5... so these puzzles must have been something else to solve
"knowing the solution cannot be reversed" my bad memory begs to disagree
amazing work!
Nice solves Mr. P! All I can say is that whoever designed that Kissel puzzle had a lot of balls! 😂😂
Joined together by covalent bonding is my guess.
The balls were by far my favorite!!
Reminds me of Stewart Coffin puzzles
This puzzle reminds me of old windows screensaver (prolly win95 or winMe) the one that changes color and shape
We've all seen the "prism" style puzzles but the 'speres' ?? Wow...
Bit of genius there...
isnt it Czechia nowadays, not Czech Republic?
I prefer the hemorrhoid looking puzzle because it’s stays together easier…
Like trying to reassemble a sugar cube after it's been through a pony. 🐴 👀
Thank-ee Sai, Christian!
It's ionic not ironic.
“Vinco” lol. Not noticing that ampersand.
This puzzle should be called "dark matter*
😁👍
Nice Video 🐮👍
Why was that ball puzzle funny to me, I don't know....
Cute
So, Mr. Puzzle finds holding balls in his hand "satisfying"...
0:44 Looks like an icosahedron version of the well known dodecahedron maded of six identical parts.
4:51 Confirmed, but with less parts that make it more easy than the dodecahedron one.
I would rated it as 1 of 10.
The cube shape one is much more challenging, i would rate it as 6.5 of 10.
Looks like a sorten form of an atom. I dont know wich... ??
"i will not use solution" right after the video was edited, seems fishy....
Shame on you! Doubting Mr. PUZZLE! Solutions are to be discovered, not told to you!!!! Where is the fun in that?
👍
