    Thank you, Mr. Puzzle for taking the time to make a review of my first self-designed puzzle. I take the point that it was solved a bit too much by the help of Mr. Random for the taste of some viewers.
    The main idea was to bring the element of timing to a puzzle and create an object with a high build quality and extraordinary aesthetics.
    Next time, I will consider the balance of mystery, solvability and aesthetics differently thanks to your feedback here!

    Only a 2/5. Yet still a beautiful puzzle. Elegant mechanism (from a design/engineering viewpoint). It could be useful and fun for teaching a 5 year old about viscosity, buoyancy and magnetism.

      That’s actually a very nice thought. Just don’t leave the kids alone with it considering the sharp corners and small metallic parts.
      The buoyancy part I don’t quite get. The bubble of air (if that’s what you mean) I could not avoid when assembling and it doesn’t do anything.

    It's a cool puzzle I like the way it looks with the brass and the clear resin or glass... It's 100% interesting to look at as a puzzle, and I wondered what the heck was under then neoprene cover! I suspect that if you make it completely out of metal we'd never know and it would have been a mess if it were opened... so that too was a brilliant move by the puzzle maker. Congrats on a super cool design!

      Thank you! It is my very first puzzle I designed, with the idea of timing, extraordinary aesthetics and a nice build quality in mind. But I take your point! I believe finding the right balance of difficulty, mystery and solvability is the hardest part in puzzle design. And of course all the small things like manufacturability, reliability etc.

    • @ZTenski
      @ZTenski 6 วันที่ผ่านมา +9

      There are 2 lids. The first lid simply needs to slide to the side to remove it. There is a magnet in this lid that holds a ball bearing at one side of a tube of very thick liquid. So when you remove the cap, the ball can (very slowly) move up and down the tube.
      Once the first cap was removed, the ball is allowed to settle to the bottom of the tube, which would have been impossible before removing the first cap. Once it settles, there is another magnet in the other cap which is pulled towards the ball bearing. This releases the mechanism for the second cap.

      It just contains the liquid. From an assembly point of view, it has to have thick outer walls, which also serve the purpose of not allowing to bypass the timer with the magnet of the first conical tip (because the distance is too large).

      Ah! The tube held in with the o-ring is to allow fine tuning the distance in which the o-ring is held in place, so that the pressure is just right. I have to admit, these parts should not be there in the first place, if the lid would not have ended up so much heavier than I expected it to. The magnet should do the trick.
