Sisyphus was doomed to forever push a rock uphill, I love how they incorporated that into his namesake puzzle
Kind of felt like the puzzle to since you had to do it so many times..
i know it's quite randomly asking but does anybody know a good place to watch newly released series online?
@Hezekiah Bruce flixportal xD
@Makai Fernando thank you, signed up and it seems to work :) I really appreciate it!
@Hezekiah Bruce Glad I could help xD
Surprised it took until the third puzzle, Heracles, to realize that the stories were clues.
I felt fustrated that he don't read the story. Because the story must have a clue which is true. That why i like chris ramsey more. Sorry dude. Don't ruch in solving it.
I cannot put into words how annoyed I was when he said he would ignore the story 🤯🤯🤯 I wished I could have not seen the video just to not hear that 😂😂
Me too
ditto, but, look! It slapped him in the end... he had to contact the maker because he couldnt finish. But, how he blames the puzzle maker for not having written instructions at the end.... it wasnt the puzzle makers fault! he disregarded the instructions as extraneous story! hahah
Imagine having to add instructions saying "read everything." I'm pretty baffled that he legit blamed the puzzle maker.
Yeah, i was wondereing the same thing, like: always read everything. Right? How did he not even try that after a while
Its like blaming ikea for bad instructions for how to assemble a table without knowing it is a chair or something
"There is text, I will not read it and concentrate on the puzzle"
*later*
"I should have read the text"
Honestly, I saw that coming :p
Same!
@@exwhitewolf9391 So disappointing. This could have been a super enjoyable 1 hour solve video, instead it's just a mess of a rush job.
"There are no instructions. The instructions are written on the back of the puzzles. I wouldn't have figured it out even given 100 hours."
@@creageous He made this for purpose, saving the story for those who purchase the puzzle. I thought this is obvious.
At the beginning: I’m not going to read the text.
Me: You should read the text ....
I agree
I'm kind of confused why you wouldn't read the story first. Looking at any puzzle, you need to examine everything because whatever you see or find is there for a purpose. I don't see any designer creating an involved story just for fun. It's there to help the person solve the puzzle. I can see not putting it all in the video, but not reading off camera? That's kind of odd to me. :/
Well, it *could* just be flavor, so if you’re looking to get a quick solve time it might make sense to skip it initially, but getting seriously stuck, giving up, and emailing the author before you read the flavor text? Really?
And also, mr Puzzle doesn’t really have anything to prove, so it doesn’t make sense to me that he’d use extreme speedsolving techniques when this is a review video that’s supposed to give people an idea of the quality of the puzzle (all of it, not just the underlying maths), not to show off how good he is at solving puzzles.
Yeah, I’m a little disappointed in this one.
@@JasperJanssen yea that was pretty dumb. I can understand not reading it on camera if you don't want to spoil it for potential buyers but why he wouldn't have read it AT ALL is beyond me. It would've taken what, a minute to read? Yet instead he emails the creators? Come on now Mr. Puzzle
oh! my dad loves the antikythera mechanism and greek mythology! i think he would love this puzzle box
Well, after watching so many puzzle videos over the years, i never thought i'd finally see a puzzle that provides a good challenge and is priced reasonably. This is the first puzzle i have seen that i would actually consider buying.
This is amazing. The theming, the difficulty, the story, it all ties together so well. Beautiful
Wow. What a work of art. I need this.
It drove me crazy that you didn't read the stories. That was a fail on you and you blamed it on the designer. Every aspect of a puzzle should be considered when solving
Hi, its definitely ball bearing. In English a bearing is a device that bears the load between a rotating shaft and the fixed structure within which it rotates. Many such bearings are just tubular and work because of grease between the bearing and the rotating shaft. Other bearings however use small balls to allow movement between the surface of the rotating shaft and that of the fixed structure. These are known as ball bearings. In English the adjective goes before the noun.
When I Google bearing balls and go to 'shopping' I can buy all the bearing balls I want, the industry producing them use that expression
@@doncarlodivargas5497 that's because Google automatically searches for the words in the correct order, it you type them in incorrectly
@@duffman18 - try it yourself, I think the thing is, "ball bearing" is the whole unit, but you can also buy the balls in loose weight, and then the shop sell them as "bearing balls"
its balling bear dumbassessses
@@KiIIerQueenboom - ok?
Ref.: '...Bearing balls are special highly spherical and smooth balls, most commonly used in...'
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_(bearing)
I love these themed multipart puzzles
My copy of this has just arrived. It is a beautiful work of art, so well designed. I am looking forward to spending some time on this puzzle. (and no, I haven't watched your video past the introduction)
Since you can't solve the puzzle if you miss a step the puzzle needs to be rated entire at 5/5, the level of the hardest step.
Let nobody say Mr. Puzzle lacks CONVICTION, PATIENCE AND DEDICATION to his craft!
Damn! ❤
as a greek person, im laughing at the english written in greek symbols, it just looks too off lol
I don't speak Greek, and I thought it was hilarious too.
I hate it when people use other writing systems simply as latin letters written in a "fancy" way. such a vulgar trick, I would say…
You should appriciate they write Heracles for a change, and not Hercules
@@vsm1456 I think it's because you're upset over something that doesn't exist. Non whites do it all the time, but it's a problem when people of your own race do it.
@Andrew K Cool you have a passing interest in foreign languages and think you're a guardian of their culture. It's just stylized text. For an english speaking market.
At front says:
Here in lies the Antikythera tablets
telling the struggles of the heroes
against the monsters and gods
in their quest to rebuild the mechanism.
The pieces of mechanism and the
knowledge of it's use has been locked
safely away inside this vessel
waiting for a new champion.
Correct but Shhh, don't give it away :P
That is possibly the most epic puzzle I have seen in a long time.
I think you should have spent a bit more time thinking before spending 15 minutes summing everything in the labyrinth! It goes over every number. Changing the route wouldn't change the sum so that would have been an odd solution.
When in doubt check for a patent. The patent you are looking for is for a 'ball-bearing'. No. 822,723. P-ATENTED JUNE 5,Y 1906. A ball for a bearing may just be called a bearing ball, where as the ball bearing is actually a complete part formed from several. In this puzzle I would call that a BB.
man.. read the descriptions!! they arent long.. wouldve benefited the video experience and also your puzzle strat.. you have enough time to make intros to other vids, but not read the simple relevant texts on this awesome puzzle? edit: honestly you were only able to solve it because you had to contact the creator, and he just said read it ?what are you doing mr puzzle..
Yeah, lol should have been given a 5/5 being as he couldnt solve it.
Ending seemed anti-climactic. What was the significance of discovering the final phrase?
End point was a bit unclear. The final phrase is a question that ties to the story. Answering the question is the true end.
We discussed a way to add clarity and the puzzle is now better for it.
@@msraynsford I have one question about the puzzle. How was the solver supposed to determine the starting point for the Theseus one? It seemed totally random
@@timliebrockpuzzles You just follow the directions given. It only fits in one location (which you could work out based on the 8 clues). As for where to start with the numbers, the text sort of tells you
@@BandanaDrummer95 well if he had read the text and showed it to us maybe we would have had a better idea of what was going on
@@timliebrockpuzzles He doesn't read it out loud, but it's visible the entire time for that specific puzzle. (14:06 gives a clear view of the entire board)
"As he took a number of steps Around her words started to Add up. Once in the centre Theseus overpowered the Minotaur and stabbed the beast in the throat."
So, you traverse the maze made by the walls given by her directions in the upper right, working your way towards the center.
Amazing! If I had to suggest one thing to the creator, it would be that in the end there would be more of a reward for having made your way to the "message", such as you in turn use the phrase to open something where as there would be a reward. Just ending it with a phrase doesn't seem very rewarding, is all.
Great collection of puzzles, tho. Thanks to the creator and thanks to Mr Puzzle!
There is an answer to the question posed in the final phrase. :)
As a clickspring subscriber that title gave me so much hope!
That was incredible. Thanks Mr Puzzle!
It's ball bearing, because it is a bearing of the ball type, not a ball of the bearing type. This follows the same pattern as, for example, "ball joint"
Kind of disappointed that you felt you didn't need to read the stories.. and it seems kind of demeaning to the puzzle and its creator to solve them without reading them. Like I love having stories for the puzzles and thought since you even created your own story in the past for a puzzle that you would have shown more appreciation for them. Seems kind of arrogant and disrespectful to me. One of the main reasons I watch you is because you have always shown great respect towards puzzles and im a confused, dumbfounded even, that you didn't show this puzzle the same respect that you've shown in the past. I'm sure you didn't mean to, but thats how it seemed to me... oh well just live and learn. Much love Mr. Puzzle, and keep puzzling!
Kyle Finney i think he was concerned that reading the stories out loud in the vid would have made the video too long. He admits near the end that he should have read the long story earlier as it turned out to be a key part of solving the end part of the last puzzle. Now as far as his audience is concerned, he could have shown the stories on camera long enough for the viewer to pause the video to read them if they wished but still allowing those who can’t spare the time right away to at least see him complete the puzzles.
I think maybe he didn't want to put the whole story out so that there was still something to drive people to get it, even if they watched the spoilers. But, yeah, it was a little disappointing not to get the full experience of this art puzzle as intended by the creator.
Neither of us realised how much significance it would have on the end puzzle. :)
@@msraynsford What is the purpose of the two discs on the 'front'? I couldn't understand from this video, and it seems that after solving the other puzzles (and reading the stories!) you can just put the gears where they are shown to fit on the other side to get the final question (?)
@@kimchi_b you know where to put them, but not how they're supposed to be rotated. It goes like this:
Each puzzle is associated with a hero and gives you a greek letter.
Each hero is also associated with their own letter independently to the ones in the puzzles.
By finding the letters associated with the heroes on the circle with the letters and comparing where the square is in the almost blank circle you get a number.
This number is the number of notches on one of the gears.
You now know which gears are connected with which of the heroes.
Translating the greek letters you got from the puzzles into the Latin alphabet gives you a latin letter.
This letter will be the "starting point", which means you'll place it on the notch marked with an arrow in the drawing.
Tl;dr
They're to connect each hero to their respective gear.
Very cool puzzle and great job solving it.
You know I think this is one video I can’t watch because it just looks so cool I think I’ll have to buy it myself
Love all of your content, thanks for keeping us all entertained.
who else saw the title and screamed "Click Spring's back!" only to see it's from Mr Puzzle.
I feel that!
😎
Dude same
Chris has a second channel where he posts regularly tho
It's called clickspring clips
Seriously, I clicked _so fast_ when I saw this in my subscriptions..! It's still good, don't get me wrong... but it's like every time a new Clickspring clip pops up in the second channel... a rush of excitement followed by extreme disappointment and sadness at the Antikythera series not really being back... 😭
@@valovanonym I DIDN'T KNOW THIS! WHY DIDN'T I KNOW THIS!?
When you get done you find out you missed the Olympics! (BTW if you haven't seen the channel Clickspring, he remakes the mechanism with period tooling. A master clock maker, and you will thank me if you haven't seen his channel already).
I commented, then saw this.
Theseus not only fought the minotaurs, he conquered the world for men, making it ours
A puzzle where you need to think inside and outside of the box. ;) Very cool, especially the labyrinth and the gear puzzle. Having everything tied together in a big story is also very nice.
BTW: Are you sure the final sentence isn't longer ... ?
I need this lol great video love the way you explain what your doing keep puzzling
Yeah, this is a gorgeous and brilliantly thought out set! Just trying to figure out how the gears turn and an arrow hits a letter takes an IQ above 160 or something. The math, physics, geometry involved in creating this puzzle set is just mind blowing!
The one you had to move the ball through the maze over and over reminded me of the scene of Ralphie from the Christmas stories decoding an advert while his brother had to piss.
Beautiful and well designed
Thanks for the good review. My puzzles rating are pretty much in line with yours :) In your order: 4 (final one), 5, 3, 2, 2, 2. I had a lot of fun, hope to get the chance to put my hands on similar puzzle boxes more often (at affordable prices).
This puzzle is amazing!!! I'm honestly so impressed by the design, the quality of it all compliments it so well
i hate that u ignored the text it probably had some good story and as u experienced u should have read it anyways just read txt for future puzzles it adds great content
Sorry to spoil it but if you are Greek you can read the text right away :)
It's English text, you only need to know the phonetic values for the Greek alphabet. Worst cipher ever
Im greek and I had a tough time reading it bc I would read the letters and not the letter they are "supposed" to represent xD I get the aesthetic they were going for but just write it in english gdi
I think since all the puzzles are connected to the final gears puzzle, the entire box should be rated on difficulty as well. That was probably one of the best puzzles I've ever seen in my life!
He did rate the entire puzzle quickly (so fast I didn't catch it though ).
[ I think lol ] 😂
You're right lol.
@22:15 or so, he just says, " *Overall* , a super cool puzzle.!" , (and something else ).
You're right.
That should have one. :) 😂
[[Edit: 5/5, I'd say lol ]]
WOW REALLY INVOLVED...great vid Christian!..keep up the amazing work!
I think archaeologists really love this puzzle.
This puzzle is 100% brilliant.
What a perfect puzzle for someone, like Mr. Puzzle, who enjoys outerspace.
dude solves the puzzle for 5 hours only to find out that the puzzle was trolling him. KAPPA : v )
I agree “super cool!”👍
Beautiful artwork and great puzzle.
This one was really good! Congratulations for solving it!
This is an amazing puzzle! Thank you for introducing it to me! I take that you're not that interested in Greek mythology, huh? Haha
Reading is such a pain for some.
Incredible, very cool!
Nicely crafted.
Excellent ❤️
...I think it's a ball bearing, Mr. Puzzle. :D
Shows there some retry genus people out there
Awesome puzzle! Looks very good and well made. When you started grading the different parts at the end, I nailed all your "personal difficulty ratings". How about that? :D
Nice! 😁👍
a nitpicky note: you can't refer to the device only as "Antikythera", because, that's right, it's a name of the island near which it was found, but not the name of the device itself. the device is simply called "Antikythera mechamism". you don't call Egyptian pyramids "Egyptian", as in, "I wish I could see Egyptian with my own eyes"
same with the puzzle, it's called "Antikythera tablets", not just "Antikythera"
ok am not freeking out that the letter is the same as the new type of corona 15:13
Amazing puzzle and amazing video
If one puzzle in box is 5/5, the total puzzle difficulty would be 5/5
15:03 Whoever made this puzzle predicted the omnicron strain of covid. 🤯
I’m ordering this right now.
I love this puzzle, clues and mechanisms are exactly what I think a puzzle should be.
I cringed when I saw the Somsky gear and paired icon mechanic, though. I’ve been working on a laser cut puzzle box myself and when it’s finished I’m probably going to be accused of copying this one. (Mine has a different purpose, but still).
I think the most of the other parts made sense without instructions but how are you supposed to figure out the positions of the gears (especially the part about mapping from Greek to English to orient the small gears) and then know that you have to rotate the main gear to counter clockwise direction until the small arrow touches a teeth of a small gear and repeat that.
Also, not reading the texts in parts is one way to increase the difficulty level of this puzzle...
Really well made puzzle. Where can I buy this puzzle?
Check the link in the video description
Amazing 🙏
That cog thing atthe end is quite groovy.
*Clickspring already solved the Antikythera*
Nice puzzle
The whole assembly is a ball bearing, so the individual balls are clearly "ball bearing ball(s)".
Puzzle instructions unclear. Accidentally solved cancer.
Puzzle instructions unclear. Accidentally solved world hunger...
I did it wrong.. I got the phrase "Drink more Ovaltine" 🤔
such a cool thing!
Why wouldn’t you pull the inside puzzles while box is flat so everything doesn’t fall apart
Normally love your content but this is pretty hollow without the stories in my opinion. You can't really get immersed in the puzzle and get the full intended effect. That being said I won't dislike the video but I can't give you the thumbs up I normally do
When he said to skip on reading the story, i knew he would screw up.
Yeah, knowing to read greek letters helps a lot. In fact, i was upset that you did not even try to read it, xD
Wait a minute, this isn't Clickspring?!?
Very complex, very interesting. Though did I miss something or do you just kind of brute force the solution on the Perseus puzzle?
You mispelled Lambda, lol
They could just have named it Da Vinci Code 2.
One thing I noticed in MrPuzzle's favor (because I noticed it on a puzzle at this date) is he shows the actual time of the tape in the video.
That other guy doesn't show that (that guy's a trickster).
Good job on that, also, Mr Puzzle.
[[That time spent is a nice reference. Thanks ]]
Cheers [[and, Regards]] 😂
The english words written with greek symbols hurt my brain😂
A ball bearing is a bearing with balls ( an assembly). A bearing ball is just that. A bearing ball.
It is definitely (Ball Bearing.). It urks me to hear bearing ball. Or a bead. Ramsey doesn't use the correct term either.
A ball bearing is a bearing that contains balls. The type of ball that goes in these bearings is a bearing ball.
Did anyone notice that when you do the Odysseus puzzle correctly, the different shaded pieces create a Pegasus?
I NEED HELP im trying to reset the opening part of the box and I cant remember how I did it and Mr.Puzzle video is cut and not one flow to reset properly can someone help me plz.
At first I thought the gears looked somewhat Looney, then I realised they were more Somsky.
It was a Looney gear, I was unaware of Somsky until now :)
Andreas has a nice little: "what is it good for? If you have an idea please mail me." on his page

Kick Starter has been great for the puzzle community.
Very good stuff!!
Great video! 😀
Edit: Ball bearing is American English. Bearing ball is European English. All the same👍
I am a bit of a mythology buff and I know English is not your first language but its Per-see-us and Thee-see-us!!!
Now how do you think those same names are pronounced in German, you monolingual git?
Bearing ball does make more sense but it’s called a ball bearing. Cause English.
People commonly say ball bearing to refer to the balls themselves instead of the bearing that rides on the balls, but I don't know if that's so much "because English" as it is because the terminology was mixed up by laypeople. (Which can then over time become how experts speak--except when needing precision--because that's how they initially learned the words)
Generally, it’s a ball bearing, of course. No need to over-analyze it; as with many issues of the English language, that’s just the way it is. But in the context of the puzzle of which it’s a part, it’s not even a ball bearing - it’s just a ball.
Strictly speaking, a ball bearing is the entire bearing assembly, including (but not limited to) the bearing balls and cage captive in the inner and outer races.
‘Ball-bearing’ as you are describing the type of bearing rather than type of ball.
I was hoping this video was sponsored by Clickspring
Maybe the guy should make this in cuniform ,hieroglyhs + mayan and when you know all 3 you solved the puzzle. Edit .And use the counting in 20 systeM + the cuniform counting in 60 system
... I Cant write properly on youtube anymore its like im typing on remote compter wtih fk llag
Jari Are you using a mobile device and is your keyboard maybe set to another language but one that still uses the Roman alphabet like English? That happens to me sometimes and it makes autocorrect do some unusual things when trying to type English words.
Also it would be neat to see Mayan glyphs and some other myths represented. I’m sure there are people out there with connections to the culture that could be contacted for accuracy.
It's a ball bearing ball
Bearing ball haha
