This was the best episode you have posted in a good bit of time. Anytime the note pad comes out with math-it’s a serious puzzle. :-) I like the way you took the time and explained the gear ratios. That’s much more interesting than just random attempts at a puzzle. Of course sometimes random attempts are the only way to a solution. Thx very much!
The cool thing is that, when you "reset" the puzzle, you can have the coin facing the other way (i.e. showing "heads" instead of "tails") as proof that you have solved the puzzle.
I absolutely love puzzles like this, more please! Sure it’s not too difficult, but the mechanics of it makes it very satisfying. I’ve already sent an email to hopefully buy one!
Funny enough, another TH-camr by the name Jared Owen recently put out a video that explains how combination padlocks work; thanks to that I immediately recognized the padlock mechanism for the yellow step. The clear piece that rotated the red gear made me think of similar gearbox setups in some Lego Technic sets too. Not only an interesting sequential puzzle but being able to see the internal mechanisms at work could be used as an educational tool as well. It would be very fun to see any other puzzles from this series.
I absolutely loved seeing you get excited as you worked out this puzzle. To be honest,I thought that this puzzle was going to have allot more to do to solve it and yet it was quite easy.I mean easy as in watching you solve it. Loved this puzzle and watching you solve it. Keep up the good work Mr Puzzle and see you soon.
I like it! I like puzzle locks and boxes in general but this one has the elements of first breaking into a safe with a number dial and then using the clear piece as a lockpic. Mr. Puzzle would make an excellent burglar
We NEED to see your entire collection on display . 😂 I’m sure it would be an insane amount of work to assemble and display all of your puzzles , but it would make for a very interesting video , yes?
What an interesting way of opening the lock at the end! Reminds me of the toy gyroscope, where you pull really fast with a tool similar to the clear piece.
If this thing was sealed it would be much better. Having everything exposed really makes solving it much easier. Overall it is definitely awesome because of the engiNERDing behind it. Well done to the maker.
Regular Puzzle Channels: Heres the puzzle and here is me solving it! Good Puzzle Channels: Heres the puzzle and as you can see all the bits heres how they fit together to solve it Mr Puzzle Channel: Here are torque equations that show how much each will turn to finally solve the puzzle!
Rubby. It wasn't the torque. It was the teeth, which you calculate same as the torque. If you use speed it's calculated opposite but the resulting transmission ratio is the same. Not sure what you consider not beeing correct.
Gear ratio is defined as the product of all no. of teeth on driven gear divided by product of all teeth on driver gear. As the hook is the driven, you would need to flip the fractions in your equation. This number will give you the amount of turns the driver gear must rotate in order to spin the driven gear once.
In 1971 the silver was removed from the JFK Half Dollar. However, some minted in the Denver mint were accidentally struck on the old 40% Silver planchets. You should check to make sure you don't have one of those because it may be worth like $5.00 haha!
I think the 'angry' Comments from people (very, very smart people) saying that the puzzle mechanism should have been fully enclosed to make it harder (because they're so clever) and that anyone with their vast knowledge of engineering could not only design a more secure one, but also SMASH OPEN this puny padlock with the sheer power of their minds because they've studied similar mechanisms for years are TOTALLY MISSING THE POINT. It's not a padlock, guys. It's not a security device designed to protect your valuables - it's a puzzle. Its purpose in life is to tease and amuse and distract. That's all. It doesn't have to challenge professional locksmiths; it doesn't have to thwart evil terrorists or foil super-villains. It just has to hold your attention for a while. So engage with it; have a cup of tea and a slice of cake. Engage with it some more. Relax. It's only there to entertain you. Just like this video. Thanks for another great one, Mr Puzzle! :-)
I'll never forget the day I realized just how differently some people's brains work. I was in primary school, and I had just built a paper model of a combination lock. A classmate came to me and told me it was a waste of time, because you could just tear through paper. My young worldview was shaken. I think it all comes down to the practical mind vs the creative mind. Both are necessary to keep the world running, and I wish there were more people who recognized that. I think being able to use both practical and creative approaches are what make great puzzle-solvers like Mr. Puzzle!
(Going to the shops with Mr. Puzzle) Puzzle: “So now I’ve sketched out the transmission, I can multiply the number of teeth in each gear together, then I take torque and...” Me: “You know what, Mr. Puzzle, that’s okay. I think I’ll just walk.”
The materials you listed probably got mixed up. The main body you said was stl which is a 3D printing file format. You probably meant pla. The white material is probably abs not fdm which is acronym for a type of 3D printer that probably made the lock.
The white and red is SLS Nylon from shapeways. (Dyed the red myself) the rest is fdm printed. Its this wonderful Proto Pasta fiber HTPLA. It feels so smooth right off the printer
You said to correct you if you were wrong. Can't speak for the gear ratio but at the start you said stl printing. Stl is the file type of 3d models. I think you meant sla but that is resin printing, nylon is also fdm printing.
Pretty cool open lock puzzle & solve Mr. Puzzle! However, all of those "math" calculations were obviously not necessary, although interesting................. :)
Will the “ Mr Puzzle “ pathetic pronunciation interpretations ever stop? It’s reached a level of being nauseatingly pathetic. Give it up. Your NOT funny and neither were the hundreds of fools before you.
Sirios Star Oh no you hurt my feelies! Somebody’s a grumpy gert today :( I’m sure it’s lonely there in your moms basement with no one to love you. I know what you need - a BIIIIIG HUG 🤗 !!!
Joe. “Oh no you hurt my feelings “ Which is the exact point of my reply. What you and others are saying either in ridicule or playful jest is most likely taken as an insult by Mr. Puzzle. I live in Deutschland and can tell you that the German people take your type of comment as being very insulting. They MAY say no it’s ok but it’s not. I have had long discussions with many of my friends here and they all agree that making fun of their accent when they are trying their best to speak a second language is hurtful . If you correct them in person it is usually ok , but on the internet , one doesn’t always know what the intent of the post is.
The instruction sheet spoils it all: 1. Manipulate the yellow combination lock to get the transparent piece. 2. Use the transparent piece to drive the red wheel. This is not a puzzle. All the thinking job is given to you beforehand.
I'm not going to lie, this looked very easy, did you really need to note the gear ratios? The instructions said you could only manipulate the yellow parts, only two of which you could move, and the clear piece had a very obvious use, I'm not sure this needed to be an almost 15 minute video haha
I'm not a fan of a puzzle that tells you you can't touch or use a piece if there is nothing stopping you from doing so. You should be able to use all parts of a puzzle available to you. It shouldn't rely on adding conditions.
Why did we have to learn the gear ratio if all you did was align all of the notches? Knowing the gear ratio of .75 had nothing to do with the actual puzzle.
This puzzle is so easy and made even simpler with the text spoiling everything. He needed something to make the video last more than a couple of seconds.
That's what I did. But then comes the big red one which is 6/1. Making it overall 6/8 which is 0,75. I think your confusion is that the ratio is always describing the torque increase and the speed behaves opposite. For example is you have a transmission with an overall ratio of 5. You torque will be 5 times higher as in the beginning but your speed will be 5 times lower.
@@Mr.Puzzle Ok, i may have understood what "torque" means wrong. So, if we say "rotation speed" instead for how fast or slow the wheels rotates ... i still ... Hm, the red was the one you estimated to 60, was it? Ok, then i understand. but ... you used the transparent to move the red, i think? Then the amount of red teeth is unimportant, as you practically moved the first white at the same speed.
Very cute. In a way, a compound puzzle, where one must solve one, then another puzzle to arrive at the tool to finish the unlock. Wouldn't it be a real display of craftership if it were made entirely of wood,? Still, the colors are ok.
Did anyone else Google Mr Puzzle's name to see if they could find out what he looks like out of curiosity? I know I did lol. I still don't know what he looks like 😋

this video unexpectedly turned to mechanical engineering 101, I love that.
@Yael Kevin begone bots
The cool thing is that, when you "reset" the puzzle, you can have the coin facing the other way (i.e. showing "heads" instead of "tails") as proof that you have solved the puzzle.
Essentially a double-sided combination lock, super clever and really takes advantage of everything being visible.
The first part is basically a classic combination lock you find on safes. Nicely done.
9:13 that's how combination locks work, and why you have to turn the dial a whole turn at the start, because it has to pick up all disks
That's a brilliant design. It clearly focuses on engineers enjoying the pure existence of a complex gearing mechanism.
Thanks for appreciating my work :)
Average person - "Guess I'll start by turning the spinny thingy..."
German - "Hand me the graph paper. First I must calculate the gear ratio.."
German -"So when I break the whole thing, I can make a copy without any errors"🤣🤣🤣
Great design and very ingenious! I would love to see this puzzle taken to the next level by making it entirely of laser cut wood.
I absolutely love puzzles like this, more please! Sure it’s not too difficult, but the mechanics of it makes it very satisfying. I’ve already sent an email to hopefully buy one!

Thank you for taking the time to teach us something while you solve the puzzle. It's rewarding as a viewer to learn while we follow along.
Send it to LockPickingLawyer :)
Exactly what I was thinking. I think he'd love it.
Click out of 1, ...
LOL No, he may use a blow torch on it to demonstrate the inherent vulnerabilities in using plastic within a locking mechanism :)

I love the idea of 3d printed puzzle locks.
I like the padlocks and locks puzzle. Please show us more puzzle of th that type. Thanx Mr.Puzzle.
An intelligent exposition! I liked it!!

THAT IS SUCH A FUN PUZZLE!!
Die mathematische Erklärung hat mich jetzt glatt mehr beeindruckt als die Lösung des Puzzles :)
Very cool and very fun. A clever puzzle, but no one can stop the incredible MR. PUZZLE!
The Giraffe Puzzle did. He had to call in help for that one.
Nice puzzle, and would look beautiful made in metal.

As the hook is the driven, you would need to flip the fractions in your equation. This number will give you the amount of turns the driver gear must rotate in order to spin the driven gear once.
I think I did everything correct. Speed and torque is opposite.

His last name has got to be the smallest word that I have no idea how to pronounce.

Thank you for understanding my design :)
Very good thank you
That's a cute puzzle.
The inventor must have had a great teacher in high school. Whoooooooooooop!
He never should have told you to remove the clear... Discovering that for yourself would have made it a little harder...

Es war interessant. Danke.
I like this.
Very nice how the dollar was printed XD
9:34 😮 that's a basic mechanism of the combination locks.
8:20 wrong ratio is 1.because 3x2=6 not 8 then 6/6=1/1=1.
It's not 3x2 though...
It's 2x2x2 in the denominator.
Besides that was just an approximation to see how the gear at the end would behave so...
The disc and rocker mechanism is the same as a basic safe dial lock. Interesting
You said to correct you if you were wrong.
Can't speak for the gear ratio but at the start you said stl printing. Stl is the file type of 3d models. I think you meant sla but that is resin printing, nylon is also fdm printing.
What I intended to say is SLA printing. But correct would be SLS printing. 🤗
Mr.Puzzle/Lock Picking Lawyer Collab!!!
Any idea where to get the .STLs for this?
The math in this video felt like the Mathologer’s YT channel lol
I learned more about transmissions in this video than I ever did from my father.
Hi, Dustin! Ah, but your father passed on his genes, and that's one of the coolest transmissions nature's come up with yet! ;-)
@@EleanorPeterson Very clever. Thank you. :)
Same I’m about to act like I know about cars now
WOW Mr Puzzles that was awesome. When you do puzzles like the it shows how smart you are. Freaken awesome thanks
STL is a 3D imaging format. It’s not a method of 3D printing. I think what you were referring to is SLA.
stl is an abbreviation for stereolithography, which is a family of processes SLA is part of
Very cool.
Very very cool padlock puzzel 👍 well done 😉 Bravo 👏
Love your explanation ❤️
The three-disc mechanism is copied from the design of many combination locks.
That would have stumped me haha!
Pretty cool open lock puzzle & solve Mr. Puzzle! However, all of those "math" calculations were obviously not necessary, although interesting................. :)
Could've upped the ante & made it not see through
"And the small gear is connected to the... thigh bone."
🤣
How do I find puzzle to buy???
he put Constantin's email addy in the description above for anyone interested in purchasing
I expected another solution, the clear part to be assembled into the other yellow side, you can see it has a similar channel there
You left the first two letters of your address entries uncovered. That's professional hazard! :-D
@Cancer Gaming That's what I meant! :-)
Who is here that always had skipped the spoiler break
Lmao yeah ik the break is cool but i always skip it
@@mrsteelnutz probably everyone had skipped it :-)
You studied gear ratio to solve puzzle or are you a mechanical engineer
Ah you are an Engineer, that exains a lot 😀
Interesting... A combination lock with a transition merged with it.
His accent makes his videos more interesting.😁
i suspected the clear part would be the key. the puzzle was just to get the key out.
wait this isn't lockpickinglawyer
Send this to the lock picking lawyer
It’s time for another Meeesta puzzole!

The gears that he counted looks like red herrings to me.
No there is no calculation required. I was just curious to understand how it works in detail.
The puzzle looks like the inside (the mechanics) of a Quartz watch.
I'm not a fan of a puzzle that tells you you can't touch or use a piece if there is nothing stopping you from doing so. You should be able to use all parts of a puzzle available to you. It shouldn't rely on adding conditions.

For a moment I thought this was a Lockpicker Lawyer video and got confused
If a 10 teeth cog drives a 20 teeth one, the big one will simply spin at half the pace as the small one.
I have no idea where your equation came from.
That's exactly what I'm showing!? 😳😅
@@Mr.Puzzle
But then you should have gotten 1/2/2/2 making it 1/8 ?

idk why you cover the address when you already put it in your youtube profile....
Why does his voice sound deeper in this one compared to the new ones?
Not sure, why he calculated the gear ratio...
Still interesting somehow, although it hasn't done anything for him =D
And 6/8= "one piont seven five"
Wooooohooooo I discovered a mistake. I'm a loser.
Mr. Puzzle states the reason at 13:48
Because he enjoys doing so.
