thanks very much for watching, don't forget to subscribe, and give the video a thumbs up if you enjoyed!!
Why this book does not come with tear-out pages like a notebook is beyond me
From look up other vids on this book, there IS a version with the pages on individual cards. Problem is Google is being uncharacteristic unhelpful.
To solve people murder you must commit book murder
@@sarahclassified2443 this quote is golden 😂😂
to make it harder for you.......... LMAO
Maybe beause they didn't want people steal it from the bookstore and maybe that it will work as library book
the fact that this book still holds up even in the digital age is insane
4.6k likes with no comments? Let's fix that
Everyday Jack does something unhinged, and everyday I watch it religiously.
Same. But this video was something else!
"Unhinged" really is the word 😂
Amen
Same ✋😩
The only way to do life at this point
Sherlock's hat... The smell of cucumber... The culprit, you ask?
Benedict Cucumberbatch.
And case solved.
True genius at work people 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
🤣🤣🤣🤣
*wheezes*
😂😂😂
WHERE ARE ALL THE DAMN LIKES ON THIS COMMENT?!?!?!?!
This is peak unhinged booknerd behaviour… and I’m here for it
Unhinged and addictive! What a combo!
Yes!!
Jack just does it so well too!
9 months later and we’re still waiting for a part 2, which i assume either means jack gave up or he’s still working it out… best of luck
I AM SO DESPERATE FOR PART 2
was about to say the same thing !
Same, came to the comments to find out if there is a part 2.
there wont be a part 2 he said it recently
oh nooo do you know why not?@@klaudiav.4739
Summarize each page in 2-3 sentences. It helps you gets the gist of the story better I think.
Oh, and 6 murderers and 6 victims right? Isn't it possible that the murderers could be victims themselves?
Note every person, date, place too!
Oh, and also repeating words that seem to have relevance in the story!
Underrated comment
Did you solve this book?
@@wingsofjuly oh no, i dont have the book, just trying to get info by watching a bunch of vids
I was thinking the same thing about summarizing pages, i was surprised he didn't think of it
@@marybritneya.atillo1155 you did great, 8 narrators. 7 murders. each one was a narrator
15:37 "someone out there is watching me and they're very concerned"
Yes, Jack, all 847k of us are very concerned for you.
Someone should also be concerned about us lol
“ The first time I opened the box, I swiftly concluded that it was way out of my league, and the only way I’d even have a shot at it was if I were for some bizarre reason trapped in my own home for months on end, with nowhere to go and no one to see. Unfortunately, the universe heard me.” - John Finnemore
John Finnemore’s the third person to have solved the puzzle and he did it in 2020 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic😆
4th. The person who submitted the solution to the people running the competition had to solve it himself too plus two in the original run
Jack, I'm sorry, this is the only video I will not finish. Mainly because you've piqued my interest and now I want a go at it! (curse finals season, now I want to solve book murders!)
same lol
I just feel the same way (luckily finished my last exam today... but can't find someone shipping this book to germany...)
@@literaturejapan5370 ich glaube thalia liefert nach Deutschland, man muss nur ein paar Wochen (1 oder 2) warten
@@norahillen1038 Ja, danke. Da habe ich jetzt auch bestellt und hoffe das klappt alles. Ich bin so gespannt. Zum Glück sind die Semesterferien lang🙆♀️
yes i thought the same! i want to try it too and i wasn’t sure if he gives away the answer at the end.
I might sound crazy but this sounds like an AMAZING bonding activity with friends
Where do I find such unhinged peers is the real question.
Just bought the book, trying to solve it.
@@keziahkrystal4735 is- is this a friend request. op this person is sending you a friend request
I really want to be that peer
definitely was trying to figure out how I can convince my husband to do this with me. only problem is that he would murder me if I tore out pages in a book. lol
I might be late.. but with the ripped out pages in front of me, I volunteer as tribute!
I think they should throw fun and challenging activities like this into educational settings. I would definitely take on this challenge if given in class and would make the learning experience of anaylising setting and context a lot more entertaining.
This is honestly my dream.. tho I would need 2 books so that one would still be whole and the other could be used lol
That's a solid point!
sameeeeee, heavily considering buying 2 since it isn't the most expensive book
same here
I NEED PART TWO, for mental health reasons
I would honestly love to do this. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to solve it with this brain of mine but at least I can tell other people that I’m solving a murder case from 1936. Thanks jack for introducing me to this book cause I’m buying this rn.
Tell me where your buying this book from 🥴 I can’t find it anywhere :((
@@Bethdent ebay !!
@@Bethdent Amazon as well!
Yup, my bank account doesn't like Jack... But heck, my bank account hates a lot of things lol
@@Bethdent Waterstones has it in stock
It's been 1 year and 4 months and I'm still waiting for part 2... lol i'm not giving up on the possibility that maybe Jack hasn't uploaded part 2 . Definitely some unhinged thinking on my part. He's probably given up now 😅😅😅
The commitment that this guy has is incredible. I mean this sounds like so much fun, but after you placed those pages on the wall my brain turned off.
Right, like ... Nope!
FR LMAOO
i'll never end up doing it myself so this is really entertaining to watch, but the last person who solved it agreed to keep the process and solution a secret with the publisher so people could keep doing it themselves. it might ruin the whole magic and unsolvability of the book if everyone posts what they've done :)
imo the people who want to do it themselves simply won't watch or search up a video like this. he clearly explained what the video is about at the start, from there onwards it's up to the audience if they want to watch or not. the same way video games don't go out of business just because there are a bunch of full game plays uploaded on the internet, this book won't lose its charm and challenge just because there's a youtube video on it. at the end of the day it's up to people if they ruin it for themselves by watching it when they intended to do it on their own. also unless you buy this book with a non-disclosure contract signed at check out, the publisher is a fool to expect everyone just forever keeping their mouth shut on it in the year of 2022.
*"i feel like sue gray trying to work out how many times tories broke the law"* this is too real 😭😭😭😭😭
Imagine having to solve this without the internet even existing, bonkers mate
every time jack opens a video with "listen, i know what you're thinking" i always know it will be a good one
STILL WAITING JACK!! NEED A PART 2
“ I think I’m literally filming a mental breakdown” 😂😂😂
And I’m loving it 🤣❤️
I think google is absolutely fair for getting things which the original audience would understand right away from cultural context. You're essentially a time travelling detective who doesn't know anything about the local customs.
This is giving me unhinged mikes mic energy that he has in his pll series and Im here for it-
Yesss
I'm completely sure that jack will be the 4th person to solve this and I'll die on that hill
I'll join you on that hill!
The last guy that solved it took 6 months, but I too shall join you on that hill
@@alenanela1743 who was it
@@luiza7453 a British comedian!
@@annabethyeung8512 Yes! John Finnamore! I saw him live and his work is amazing
Alternative title: Watch Jack Slowly Become More and More Unhinged Over the Next 17 Minutes and 54 Seconds
THE AMOUNT OF EFFORT YOU PUT INTO THIS! I COULD NEVER ARRANGE PAGES LIKE THAT
You got me hooked on this mystery!!
By the way in 9:10 about the De Witt brothers John and Cornelius. The opening sentence of that page was talking about murders. The passage wasn't talking about their actual birthdays, it was referencing the anniversary of their murder on August 20 in prison.
He meant birthday of a good murder that happened in prison.
You're right about this, but according to the Chambers Book of Days (which was the source that the writer of Cain's Jawbone used), the murder occurred on August 10th. So that would be the date
Southend pier was in September 1893. 3 tram cars collided. The website said ''Early one September morning in 1893 a derailment occurred when James Holloway, one of the pier’s electric tram drivers, was about to drive his tram car down the pier. Two tram cars collided with his.''
Me: “wouldn’t the searches be easier with an e-version of the book?”
Jack: “Update; I bought an ebook version”
Ah, a fellow intellectual
Where can you find the ebook version?
I've just photographed the pages instead of cutting them up
My thought exactly
@@audreys_adventures Check Reddit, people put a lot of effort on making a PDF version :--)
I'm early in the vid, but please DON'T leave the sticky tack longer then a week. It tends to leave a residue. It's good that you're using the white variation; my old workplace used the blue ones and it stained.
The ones I use don’t leave any even after months or a year.
@@asmijain2695
It probably depends on the quality. Since the seasonal decoration and misc documents were changed out anywhere from a week to a month or more, my employer bought the sticky tack from the dollar store down the street. Took probably way too long before we had swapped from the blue to the white. But even the white version I believe left a residue.
@@Anjel1e if he's using name brand Blu-Tack which I think he was he should be allg, I've had it on my walls for years and it never leaves a mark
Imagine trying to solve this back in the day when it was released and there was no Google to help
1. I love this video.
2. I’m glad there is a part 2.
3. I’m so sad I have to wait for the part 2.
I’ll be keeping a look out. :) Excited to see your book get written as well.
jack's outher lowkey helping the ppl who want to do this
my toxic trait is thinking that i would actually be able to do this even after seeing you struggle 💅
I'm Polish and I had no freakin idea about any Hyacinth Day, so I cannot imagine some random guy from different country just knowing that in 1934. This book is crazy!
This is giving Mike's Mic pretty little liars recap and im here for it
Is there a part 2 out yet? Very invested in this!
I can’t find it..
he gave up
Not yet :/
I'm extremely invested in this for a viewer who has no idea what the hell is going on and hasn't read a single word of those pages
Lol only Jack can be cute, awesome, and being creatively anxious in the most constructive ways …. This was so fun lol
Me hearing about this book the day its competition closes: 😀
i love watching jack endure the pain of solving this mystery so i don’t have to
I actually gasped when you said “gonna have to split this video into 2” I was not prepared for the cliffhanger
the buzzfeed unsolved vibes im getting! jack you keep coming up with great content!!!
Jack: I've got this white tack
Also Jack: *holds up Blu tack*
When you said 86 plus 24 equals 100 I fully ate that up and got excited until you retracted 😭🤣
pov you’re waiting for part two
I signed up for the newsletter.. Guess what, I am planning to write my novel this year.. Lets do this together Jack 😍
Congrats! You can do it!❤
Best of luck! I hope it turns out great!
Heck ya! Get it, keep that motivation!
All the best to u, hope it turns out great 👍🏾
best of luck!!!!!!
Guess he never got around to figuring it out
8:55 this whole segment has Brian David Gilbert‘s “manic pointing at slabs on text of a back wall” energy
we need an update 😭 its been 3 months
I’ve read nearly every Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes book and I’m obsessed with seeing where this goes
literally a few days ago i was talking about this book with my teacher!! crazy, love it
Still waiting for part two
Our English teacher made us do this with the murder of Roger Ackroyd at A level - super fun
this is my type of mental breakdown!! but also worried about how people might perceive your search history filled with 'murder' without context
Love how you always find new creative video ideas!! This is so entertaining and I kind of want to try it myself, even though it seems impossible haha
His ideas are simply a treasure!
Bro I'm still waiting
" ok so the whole book is now on the wall and...um...what the hell do we do now?" I love this guy 😂
The last book of The Human Comedy was published around 1855 (Le Petit Bourgeois is the title)
I see that we’re all convinced Jack is going to solve this, without a doubt. You’re my people 😂
sir i have to ask where the rest of this is?
Part 2 please
where is part 2??
this is a one hell of a conversation starter when you invite someone into your room
the fact that im still waiting for the next part
you want the solution?
PLEASE make a part 2. This was super interesting!
Work has been super stressful, just made my day so much better
WE NEED A PART TWO!!!
"But I have theories, I have more theories than Taylor Swift fans tryna' work out easter eggs." 🤣🤣🤣🤣
-Edwards, Jack 2022
"The pages can be arranged in 9.33×10157 (factorial of 100) possible combinations, but there is only one correct order."
I absolutely loved this! Just discovered you as I was getting back into reading and I'm here for the unhinged content!
you hit the jackpot!
jack is the BEST booktuber in the world
This is fabulous! I can't wait for part 2! Now I'm considering getting this book and trying it myself.
Need a mid year update on this…
this is so chaotic…. I love it.
i need closure 😭
who's gonna tell him the tabs of the hat are supposed to be tied on top?
“And the thing is: this started as a joke and I don’t think it’s a joke anymore” help 😭
The commitment to going above and beyond is just impeccable, can't wait to see the next part!
WHERE IS THE SECOND PART????
WHERE IS PART 2
What if Jack murdered someone, and to cover up the crime while coming up with an explanation for his suspicious search history, he made this video as the smoothest strategic cover plan for the crime. Sorry Jack, you have destroyed my brain in the best possible way, love you
This is by far one of my favourite videos
This is me every time I get committed to a new book 😂. Such an entertaining video!
Jack it's been a year
You sir are unhinged ... and I love it
i’ve never been this early but i just wanted to say jack and taylor swift are my biggest inspirations no joke
excuse me but im still waiting on the second part
Okay this was so engaging I NEED to see you crack this! but also the fact that you're literally barring yourself from your dresser gave me anxiety, I kept wondering how you were going to open it without destroying all your hard work 😂
please post part 2!
“I think one of the narrators might be a dog.” Your brain has no boundaries, no borders
can’t stop thinking about the closet doors that can’t be opened until the mystery is solved
i know...but, but, my SHOES are in there
i think this is actually the coolest video of yours and you should make a special hashtag for people trying to solve this because of you!
Channeling hercule poirot energy
I need part two 😭
I will gladly watch an entire series with you trying to find out the answer and I would watch as many videos as you post because I am INTRIGUED
where is part II? I am so invested now :D
wow I wish I heard of this book earlier I loved these type of solve them yourself books growing up, this is so cool!! honestly I feel like an online version/game out of this book would be awesome with ability to search and make a virtual board to connect things
this would be such a good date
