OMG OMG OMG I have the perfect way of describing this puzzle: it’s done in quaternary, which is base 4. Each block has to go all the way out to let the next one move a little, and has to do it 4 times to let the next one all the way out. So the first block only needs 4 times to let the next one out, the next block needs 16 moves, and so on. That’s why it takes so many steps, it grows exponentially with each block
Doubt you see this so ima say this for people out there watching this page for the first time wondering and just bored like I was. I started watching about a year ago just scrolling and this page came up. This dude here's one of a kind. He not only solves puzzles with edited scenes but he actually has his own commentary. Other puzzle solvers are melotoner at best and it's like ok you solved the puzzle. This man goes above and beyond. Its refreshing with the beginning scene almost always being a behind the scenes magic trick. He solves them not knowing what's going on and gives you a brief history most of the time. Highly recommend
I watch your videos everyday especially when I’m working so i can relax if i get stuck somewhere. Thank you for the constant relaxation and perfect videos you offer to us all. You are greatly appreciated. 🙏🏾
That was a pleasing puzzle to watch you solve. I like that it's not just one simply trick or step, but a series. So it really takes some skill and attention to detail, instead of getting lucky and doing the one step to solve it. I really hope that the way you solved it is the correct one and there isn't some crazy shortcut.
I just really appreciate all the time and details y'all put into these vids. So fun to watch, so much brain food. And the music! Loving that track around 11:50. Keep up the great work!!
This one took me over 2.5 hours to get them out and back to the beginning. I kind of cheated at one point by writing down my steps and then it went pretty quickly. Great job, dude!
Hi Chris, I love the fact that you just don't love the puzzle but you love how it's made just as much. There's not a lot of people on here that also interested in the mechanics of it.
A step counter would have been a great idea. Love that intro because it was simple but also, dare I say, elegant. Watching the intro and seeing a lot of puzzles I have have watched you do and use in other videos was a cool trip down memory lane. I have said it before and I will always say it, you have some of the best intros on TH-cam.
Dude your music playing in the background is always so dope. Also enjoy watching these videos you put out, so awesome to see the amount of talent and craftsmanship these puzzled makers have.
Alright first off, very nice puzzie...., second off, you sir add to the beauty of puzzles like these. Watching you slide and toggle each block was mesmerising, i gotta say that these puzzles wouldn't be able to reach there full potential if it wasnt for puzzlers like you chris, im a very big fan, been here a while, watched you grow, and i can say that you have made every step along the way so much more enjoyable, thank you for staying awsome
@chris_Ramsay thanks for all the puzzles vids. I think I have watch everyone. And this was the first intro I have watch and then watched it one more time. Great work to you and your crew.
The solution literally is repeating the first part for the next 3 sections, but the latter 2 sections require the previous ones be done and undone to stimulate the same movements
Wow another great intro yay .. there should be a wow button on here .. well done as ever Chris solves another tricky puzzle as nothing ever stops him .. you are the genius hun you are my inspiration and you have so much patience like me .. its wonderful to watch you do these puzzles .. x
Reminds me a bit of a Chinese 9-ring puzzle, in terms of how you have a sequence of putting things on and off, building up step by step til you get to the end, and the sequence gets longer and longer the closer to the end you get.
I made a comment but decided to search afterwards to see if anyone else made this connection. Beat me by 2 months haha. Glad someone else noticed it had a huge Tower of Hanoi feel to it.
I honestly like the lyric-less background music better, it doesnt get in the way of the experience, and doesnt make voices just mix like 2 people talking, as seen in the first bit of this video
Chris, the amount of effort and dedication you put into your videos is truly amazing. Between the intros and your editing, your videos are flawless. Thank you for such great content that has never bored me since the day I subscribed.
I love watching these.. You kick started a whole obsession for me. I’ve gotta thank you for doing these because I’ve gotten into this.. I really love the Hanayama puzzles. Could I borrow some of yours 😁 I promise to send it back.
Just had a date at a Barnes & Noble bookstore, and they have some Hanayama cast puzzles there, and I told her a little bit about them that I had learned about them from watching your videos, anyway, we decided it would be fun to try and solve a level 6 because why not. We each had our own puzzle, we grabbed the Sqaure puzzle, and it took us about 20-25 minutes but we both solved it and figured out the trick. So, thank you for your videos and in a way contributing to a great idea for a date
That was a cool puzzle to watch you solve! But really are you going to do more on the Old Sins miniature house! Would LOVE to see more of that! Please let us know! Thanks again for your time and effort and love watching! See ya soon!😎😎👍
WOW Chris, dude that was BRUTAL!!! I personally dont have the patience to do these puzzles but ABSOLUTELY love watching you do them And this one ... so far, gave you a run for your money Very awesome! Keep up the great content
Hey Chris. I’ve always loved cards and magic but never knew where to go with it until I found your channel. you’re my inspiration. I was wondering how I could support you and show my gratitude to you this channel and the community your building. Thanks love your videos and everything you do man. Get back to me, Thomas.
Came across your channel some time ago and really got into it... I've since taken up the dark art of cardistry and magic though not great, I've also started collecting cards and have the memento mori at the front.. I've found it really helps with my struggles through depression and ptsd. Keep up the good work Chris.
Reminds me of the puzzle with the rings and in order to free each ring you've got to free the one before it but all the others need to be locked on- leading to a sequence where you're working your way up the rings freeing and releasing them over and over...
I hope to see some street performance at some point - you have a talent for interacting with people that I really enjoy. I’d say that’s what sets you apart from other magicians and also what makes you great as a TH-camr. Keep having fun!
While I was watching this, i realized it's basically a linear slider gear reduction. to move each progressive box 1 notch, the previous box needs to move about 4 notches which just required alternating between two sliders. It's genuinely brilliant.
Counting down the steps really is a good strategy for preserving your sanity. Though, almost becoming insane in the process, the result is always worth it.
This sorta makes me think of The Tower of Hanoi [game] which is a purely mathematical thing but kind of fun to mess around with. The pattern is super obvious and you can easily write a program to do it for you but the number of moves for it increases by a lot for each extra ring. To be exact, the number of moves is 2^n -1. So 10 rings is.. 1023 moves. Anyways, the way the moves are done is similar in feel to your puzzle here and makes me wonder if the Tower of Hanoi was their inspiration when making the puzzle.
Interesting puzzle. It's almost like a mechanical counter of sorts, where each unique position can correspond to a number that counts sequentially. Or maybe I have no clue what I'm watching. I think a full timelapse would look pretty neat.
that was really cool learning the pattern along with you. it seems like they could add a fourth section and make it like 2 thousand steps lol. i think it would be a big help to cut some little paper arrows out and set them on top so you can keep track of which direction youre moving each piece.
Started to see the pattern of working down the stairs in sections as you were part way through, very tough to have to keep going back then forward again for each part to open🍻 The Waiter's Tray / 6 Bottles from Constantine is done in a similar way, and very challenging, give it a go! Great job today brotha🤘
Visually, I thought it looked good with the contrast of black wood and light wood with the time lapse it gave this video a cool effect while each light block was moving.
YIKES! I would describe that as a super exponential step puzzle that is meant to drive one out of his/her mind! No thanks................ Nice solve Chris!! 👍👍👍👍
Cool puzzle. Not great for video. It's just a repetitive sequence. I felt like I was a rubik's cube solve. Appreciate the video either way. I love puzzles so this is right up my alley.
There's a cool optical illusion with the three bottom pieces. When they come out a bit, it can be seen as they're sliding out, or like a 3d box to the bottom of it. I'm not good at describing it, but does anyone else see this?
10 out of 10 always. I subscribed and I keep coming back because of your aesthetic and videography skills. Doesn’t hurt that you’re pretty good looking too 😘
I would definitely do something like this to propose to someone. Especially if they like puzzles. If they don't, either way, it would be a pleasant surprise at the end.
Haven't watch the video yet just like to pause it and tell you if I was another good opening video, looks like you always put a good effort into your opening videos thanks a lot, now back to the show I'll finish watching the video lol
Chris make a video on all you collection of puzzles and how much they cost like you made with your card decks. Everyone 👍 if you would like to see this

The title says 241 steps but the puzzle is a staircase and it only has 3 steps

just watching him tap those pieces back and forth and being like, does that make sense to him at all because it doesn't to me lmao
Chris has not even started the puzzle and he looks like he's reconsidering his life choices..
241 steps...…….
Ive been watching your vids for a while and i think THE COOLEST puzzle box is the cyber-futuristic one. That was really really dope to watch
Best intro/"outro" by far thoroughly enjoyed this systematic Rubicks cube type puzzle.
Wow another great intro yay .. there should be a wow button on here .. well done as ever Chris solves another tricky puzzle as nothing ever stops him .. you are the genius hun you are my inspiration and you have so much patience like me .. its wonderful to watch you do these puzzles .. x
The time lapse was really cool looking. Looked like stop motion almost with how the blocks would move in and out.
Reminds me a bit of a Chinese 9-ring puzzle, in terms of how you have a sequence of putting things on and off, building up step by step til you get to the end, and the sequence gets longer and longer the closer to the end you get.
Hi Chris, would love to see you do a visit to one of the manufacturers to see how they go about designing and building one of these pieces of art .
Who else would love to watch a puzzle creator to react/watch Chris solve their puzzle?
Me watching this guy solve bizarre puzzles at 12am:
😲😲😲😲😲
Sounds like Satie. It’s a beautiful introduction. Quiet and understated with a subtle, simple elegance.
15:54 when i realized that this is like a buffed version of the Tower of Hanoi
Francisco Zudaire EXACTLY it’s in quaternary instead of binary lol
Exactly!! That's why I kept facepalming when he couldn't get it. I am really good at the Tower of Hanoi so this puzzle seems super easy to me.
I made a comment but decided to search afterwards to see if anyone else made this connection. Beat me by 2 months haha. Glad someone else noticed it had a huge Tower of Hanoi feel to it.
Please can u give some hints about the card mentalism trick that u performed 2 years ago in a barber's shop. Really was an awesome trick
"Back to the beginning again"
I'm getting Excalibur De Ja Vu lol.
Funny when he started counting the moves, like he was gonna get it first time around.
I honestly like the lyric-less background music better, it doesnt get in the way of the experience, and doesnt make voices just mix like 2 people talking, as seen in the first bit of this video
Chris, the amount of effort and dedication you put into your videos is truly amazing. Between the intros and your editing, your videos are flawless. Thank you for such great content that has never bored me since the day I subscribed.
My love for puzzles started when I was just a kid like 6 or 7 . Watching my brother play resident evil and silent hill . Amazing
I wish that was a staircase! such a cool idea
Cool idea indeed, until you forget your charger and need to open it up
I mean sure, til you fall through them 😂
I love watching these.. You kick started a whole obsession for me. I’ve gotta thank you for doing these because I’ve gotten into this.. I really love the Hanayama puzzles. Could I borrow some of yours 😁 I promise to send it back.
One of my most favourite intros ever!! Amazing videography + layout of other objects! I can imagine using it as a wallpaper for my computer :)
I love the sequence in this puzzle. When you get it, it just takes some time, but it shouldn't be too hard if you get the sequence
Just had a date at a Barnes & Noble bookstore, and they have some Hanayama cast puzzles there, and I told her a little bit about them that I had learned about them from watching your videos, anyway, we decided it would be fun to try and solve a level 6 because why not.

Really loved this puzzle. It’s so brainy and in the same way not. Love it ❣️💚

WOW Chris, dude that was BRUTAL!!!
I personally dont have the patience to do these puzzles but ABSOLUTELY love watching you do them
And this one ... so far, gave you a run for your money
Very awesome! Keep up the great content
I was expecting to see Chris over at Lock Picking Lawyer's channel yesterday. He solved a lock puzzle(gifted by Mr. Puzzle).
I’m unsure on the timer... he hasn’t posted in a week so I think he’s been doing this puzzle that whole time 😂😂😂 xx
Me watching you keep backtracking: "you're killing me Smalls!"
Hey Chris. I’ve always loved cards and magic but never knew where to go with it until I found your channel. you’re my inspiration. I was wondering how I could support you and show my gratitude to you this channel and the community your building. Thanks love your videos and everything you do man. Get back to me, Thomas.
He’s over here talking about a sequence and progressing while I’m confused on what is even happening
Did it to put it to your notice, thank you .
Hot dang!!! That was awesome. I love to see the challenging ones, Would love to see you get stumped on one again like Excalibur
I don’t think Chris gets as much credit as he deserves. He makes sick intros does awesome magic and is the king of sequential puzzles. Just saying
Intro was artisté ! Honestly it was awesome, you are raising the bar brotha!

Watching the timelapse in this video made me want a Chris Ramsay timelapse compilation
Beatiful the movie before the video . Like mood board this time with beautiful items. 😍👍🏻
As soon as you started this one... It automatically reminded me of the Excalibur puzzle. Only a few mins in so far... Good luck.
Rest assured Chris, it was indeed satisfying to watch and as usual, you did a phenomenal job. Keep it up!!!

hey Chris
i was wondering, have you ever had a puzzle that you had to give up on and never got to solve
You have more patience than I do... but this is still really relaxing to watch you figure out.
Bro seriously tho... there is something so fucking sexy about watching the way your brain works these things out.
