  • @alanprak80
    @alanprak80 4 года назад +205

    I'm not a fan of 'surprise' puzzles like this; anyone who tried solving it without knowing the secret trick would naturally assume they're supposed to fit somewhat cleanly with no gaps, like a regular jigsaw puzzle. Luckily you spotted it early on and didn't waste too much time on it, unlike Chris Ramsey who must've been confused with all the CORNERS.

    • @Pavlinka__
      @Pavlinka__ 4 года назад +26

      Well, the task was to fit all the pieces onto the tray and not connect them, right. It's not really surprise. Unless you give it to someone and tell them it's jigsaw puzzle but that's kinda mean misdirection.

    I like brain teasers, but they are expensive to ship from Canada to the Netherlands, but ('corner') I bought an easy lock puzzle from puzzlemaster to give my girlfriend promise rings (which we choose together) for her birthday back in February this year. But she didn't know I did that, nor that it was a puzzle so she had to figure out how to get the rings out. It was really fun and I think quite original.

  • @muskyoxes
    @muskyoxes 4 года назад +105

    It's not enough to just make something hard for it to be fun. You have to feel like you figured something out rather than just search a random space until stumbling on the goal.
    Also, Karen's gentle laugh could mean either slight amusement or maddening rage.

      Hmm, I'm going to disagree with you here because I think this is exactly what it feels like when you've come up with a perfect solution to something you've been thinking about for a while. A Eureka moment. You play around until something close to it fits, then finally, the last one is like, THAT'S IT! It's meta but I like it

  • @MikkoRantalainen
    @MikkoRantalainen 6 месяцев назад

    3:15 The first thing to do with any puzzle with small amount of pieces is to tightly pack everything into the frame and see how much extra space you'll have in the end if some parts overlap, just mentally tranfer the overlapping areas to empty areas to estimate the total remaining empty space. I think the hardest 2D puzzles with small amount of pieces are those that will have pretty much empty space in the final arrangement. Because you cannot know the correct shape of the empty space, it increases solution space hugely.

  • @natalieeuley1734
    @natalieeuley1734 4 года назад +24

    I actually like doing these kinds of puzzles. This is kind of the most advanced of these kinds of puzzles. But the key is to eliminate options, just like with regular jigsaw puzzles. You know that you can find a solution no matter how it is rotated or flipped, so pick a piece to have a particular orientation and stick to that. Then based on that piece, you figure out exactly what can go around it. There will always be a possibility you can eliminate at this stage too; some piece that can't align with it without there being a big gap. From there you kind of solve it like a cryptogram. What is the most logical groups of patterns to follow? And at some point you eliminate the most common patterns until you get to the one that makes sense but you weren't thinking of- and you solve it :)

    I used to do lots of puzzles like this, and I'm really good at them. There's less of a technique to it than you might think, just systematic guessing is usually the correct method.
    Although now that I look at this one, I'm sure there's a way to use maths to prove that a tricky solution is necessary. Imagine the board is a checkerboard, and pay attention to the number of black squares covered by each piece... Okay maybe I lied, there's a technique to these puzzles.

    Mir ging es genau wie dir Karen. Unerwartet passte das letzte Teil. Ich hab knapp 30 min gebraucht, gehofft hatte ich auf eine längere Herausforderung. - Ich liebe gradient puzzle and all the brainteaser puzzle. Liebe Grüße aus München/ Germany.
