You might have noticed there is some confusion with the difficulty rating in this episode. I accidentally cut out the difficulty rating at the end of the video and the graphic moved somewhere in the middle of the video showing the standard value of 3/5. I actually rated it 4/5 before myself.
it seems a little off the change the difficulty based on difficulty to design or solver satisfaction with progressive nature. maybe you should make a separate rating. bad or unfair puzzles can be very difficult
Improvement suggestions: Include a piece of clear plastic or a metal frame for the tengram puzzle. Also, have the tengram puzzle made of steel so you can embed a magnet on the other side of the frame, so the pieces remain in place when moving the puzzle box to stand up.
It’s funny how some puzzles are immediately clear - most of yours have me baffled, yet I saw the parallelogram shape of this straightaway, and figured the numbers are contained inside! A rare victory for me, I assure you 😊
Very cool puzzle, would love to have it. I agree, needs to have a perfect fitting frame that would go over the correct numbers included, perhaps inside the same place the little pieces came from. Without that I prob never would've guessed to make my own frame for it.
I think that's a fair rating. You could tell the lines were parallel, but not what they were for - and that one line on the top of the frame was such a red herring!
i just finished watching a LPL video before this, and was surprised to see this comment! Though now that I think about it, he would get the locks off asap, but he would need to remove the hedgehog before getting the container open, so it might take him a little longer than a couple of minutes. 😛
Great vid again, thanks Mr Puzzle! Have you ever thought of trying to make your own puzzle? After the countless amount you have done over the years it would be interesting to see what you came up with
Another way that could have improved the number puzzle would be to continue the marks on the bottom of the puzzle, so that it looked more like a frame. That would not require an additional part, but would get the point across that it is the numbers inside the marks that make up the combination.
Hint not necessary. I saw the marks and saw the frame immediately. I thought that you only had to put the fitting pieces there and skip the rest, or that the other pieces outside of that frame should be upside-down. :)
I watch your channel a lot and I think you are right about supplying a piece of string to form a frame. Maybe this was the reason for the difficulty level.?
Hello im from czech republic and you were asking about that hedgehog, it is from books of jaroslav foglar ( záhada hlavolamu, stínadla se bouří and tajemství velkého vonta ) . That books were popular in 1960 and later and that hedgehog is called ježek v kleci
I really loove the rustic and the rough look of this puzzle ! It's really cool and yea it's pretty difficult but the string or rope part it's quite tricky like it needs some hint .. But yea Great video as always ! Can't wait for the next one
I'm not very good looking at things spatially, but if you had solved the jigsaw upside it still would have fit; would the same numbers be inside the string?
Nice solve Mr. P! I would think that it's more difficult because the average puzzle solver would not have access to getting the hint that you got. So, perhaps a 4/5 is a more appropriate difficulty rating....
@Brian Cairns Except this looks more modern industrial "found on a worksite where they were building a Walmart' , not vintage 'airships and steam powered robots' 'Steampunk' industrial. For starters, Steampunk aesthetic tends to lean more towards brass and copper, and tends to have more stylistic flare.
I truly love your puzzle videos and in my view you engage your audience. I think this the first time I sensed you showed a little egoish attitude and I can dig that but as far I can tell You Are A Master in Puzzles. God Bless You and Your Family. Mandalamann
Anyone can draw some lines on a square and make a hard tangram puzzle. However, there are some very creative and fun tangram/ jigsaw puzzles as seen on chris ramsay's channel.
This puzzle is sure very resistant to destruction attacks but it has some inexcusable flaws which makes it really easy to pick, i'll show you why...nothing on one, two is binding, click out of three...and we got open, this is why I consider this a product to avoid, in any case this is all I have for you...
*turns the puzzle and the pieces fall* Oh shi... The cutouts are not clear enough indeed. I thought it would point to the numbers. I also thought the pieces would be solved in a way that only the correct numbers would be faced up. So the string would be a nice addition indeed.
@@yobinx2209 a lot of people watch these videos, and not all of them are english native speakers ;) big german community on this channel And french here
This difficulty level makes no sense if you had to get a hint from the puzzle designer. Although, you could argue that the hint was needed since the puzzle was poorly designed.
That's how I feel. There could have been another clever little puzzle that led to a perfect fitting frame that fit those marks. Then it would've been perfect. It would've went along with the theme of puzzle within a puzzle.
That was the only thing I didn't like about the puzzle.. I agree that some more antique or "rustic" looking locks would have better served the overall aesthetic. This of course could be easily remedied, but it just seems like laziness on the creator's part to me.
Mmmmh... "can't think of what's the right combination, have to phone the creator for the solution", "difficulty 3/5, not that hard". I think, dear Mr Puzzle, that you are expecting a certain kind of difficulty over another kind. Actually, I love that there is no magnet, no usual "invisible maze", and the difficulty here is just... reflection. It's a puzzle, literally a jigsaw puzzle, on top of a few other gadgets, and it's a very smart way to conceal the right combination... you just... didn't find it. Didn't think enough. That's the whole purpose of the game: thinking differently, in an unexpected fashion. You're not being intellectually honest if, when beaten by a puzzle, you say it's "not that hard". It definitely gave your ego a good slap behind the head. :) Rehabilitate this puzzle: you didn't beat it, you were given the solution, for a reason you got pissed at it because it's not your kind of puzzle and you got used to a certain kind of puzzles with a certain kind of reflection expected. It's a fair 4/5. That little trick with the lines got you. :)
I see your point, but I'm in agreeance with Mr Puzzle in that a correct fitting frame placed, even obscurely, within the puzzle would've been more appropriate. I think I also would've given it a 4, but it's not our own personal scoring system. It's his.
I think you juge something you don't know any details. I asked if the tangram is arranged correct. Because the numbers won't open the lock. During the discussion the solution was mentioned. I could have also claimed I found it but why should I. It is how it is. Puzzle was rated 4/5 as mentioned... The graphic was misplaced and contains 3/5 by standard. I hope this helps to clarify some details.
@Frogbasher you are right. I accidentally removed the difficulty rating in the end and the graphic moved so where I was the middle of the video. I actually rated it 4/5.
8:24 Couldn't you just brute-force the lock? I mean, there's four 0-9 reels, right, making it 10^4 = 10,000 possible combos? Or, if each number can only be used once, it's 10x9x8x7 = 5040 combos. Shouldn't take all that long.
Assuming it takes about 4 seconds to put in a full code and try to open the lock, a worst case scenario would take over five and a half hours of constant attempts (given that you figure out any number will only be used once). So I guess that just depends on what you consider to be "that long" for solving a puzzle.
That was a very unsatisfying solution. The designer could have put a 1/2/3/4 on the outer frame, or maybe put the number that are unneeded for the solution on the bottom side (and the four numbers needed on the top side).
Wrong rating...sorry. You had to "call the creator of the puzzle" should be a 5.0 -.5 for not including the string needed. Without that string you could have figured out the pieces using logic. Just try each of the numbers within each set of notches. Ultimately a 4.5 -4.8 rating would have been fairer.
when you send Mr puzzle a puzzle with a compartment that has nothing inside :/ ????????????????????????? The joy of making it and then someone solving it WASTED!!!!! Not even a metal question mark trinket or even a note

have to say that having nothing in the compartment was rather disappointing.
If this puzzle can only be purchased once does that make spoiler break redundant?

if the lines were carved into the plate you put the puzzle pieces on I think it would've been a good hint.

He should have made it that the correct numbers would face up and the other numbers would face down.
This was my first idea! 👍
It was fun to watch you trying to solve it.

I really like the idea of a 2D assembly solve needed to generate the lock combination.
I'm not very good looking at things spatially, but if you had solved the jigsaw upside it still would have fit; would the same numbers be inside the string?
i would lockpick the combination lock as LPL taught me tho
Very interesting design. Would the inclusion of the tangram element technically make this a sequential puzzle as well?
intros are getting better man, keep it up. : )))
This puzzle is so cool!!!!
Had to phone a friend and gives it a 3/5, not sure that rating holds up
@Brian Cairns I was assuming that you would solve the tangram and there would only be four numbers left face up.

They should’ve made those cut marks across every piece and then, when solved, the marks on the combination pieces would form that framing box.
Nice job mr. puzzle!
Nice solve Mr. P! I would think that it's more difficult because the average puzzle solver would not have access to getting the hint that you got. So, perhaps a 4/5 is a more appropriate difficulty rating....
