I somehow was really not expecting to see the piece with a corner stay there. I was sure it was a false lead and it would end up in a random place in the middle of the puzzle.
If I were to solve this puzzle systematically I'd probably use graph theory. As complex as the pieces look, I'm fairly sure from looking at them that they are just made of a certain set of connectors in different combinations. If you were to make a graph of how every piece could connect to every other piece (including the board as a piece), a Hamiltonian path of that graph would consitute a solution to the puzzle.
I feel like it's possible that there's not a 1:1 correlation. You could see when he was comparing the pieces early on that different amounts of that side were the same between the different pieces. So, ultimately, I don't think there's a transitive property that can be applied, and there isn't an unchanging number of nodes per piece. I'm not saying you couldn't use graph theory to solve it, but I don't think it's quite as straightforward as you imply.
It’s a hexagonal grid with modified edges. This is how they managed to design it so that do many pieces are good fits, but wrong. So turn that back into some sort of symbolic representation may help. Probably not a Hamiltonian path problem though, at least not that I can see.
A good tip might be to number the pieces based on their initial starting position, so you can both keep track of which piece is which and put it back that way when you're done.
Always fun to watch Mr. Puzzle's reaction to accidentally solving a hard puzzle. How would I approach this puzzle? First, I'd screenshot the above video at 6:47...
Only thing I could think of to help solve it, would be to number the pieces front and back, and make a map of attempts. You’d still be randomly moving pieces though one by one.
Watching you get frustrated caused me to get frustrated. Caught myself saying, No, twist it the other way! Ahhhh! Very fun to watch, amigo. Keep 'em coming.
the angled piece feels like the maker handing you a starting point. In other words, without that angled piece it would be harder to solve. How then can they claim 10/10 difficulty for the version as is?
Interesting puzzle but it could have been even harder if the were more pieces that could fit edges of the board updside down. And the black piece could have been designed to match *any* edge position so you cannot know where to put it. Now that cannot fit all edge positions. As for solving that puzzle with strategy instead of by luck, I'd say that first try to solve it by luck once to see if the finished puzzle is going to have empty space. It should be pretty easy to see that zero empty space will be available. So everything must fit without gaps. If you look at the bottom left position in the final solution (7:00), it appears that the whole game has only 3 pieces that can fit that position and none of those can be flipped upside-down so you know which way they go. Then the part that contains 90 degree corner can go in one position only but you have to figure out which side is up - I think you have to do a guess here. Look at the V-like shape at the middle of the bottom edge, I think there are only 2 pieces that have that shape. As for the rest of the pieces, the whole layout seems to be hexagonal pieces with weird edge shape so you basically have hexagons with 6 different edges. Maybe give each edge shape a number and find arrangement where numbers match?
I still dident find the inside cube balck box solution 😥 wold love for u to take an attempt at it 😄 i think it wold make fore a grate vid. Srry for spellyng i have disleccya

Nothing else could fit in that space though, and there didn’t seem to be enough space for a large gap.
Agreed; feels like the sort of thing I’ve seen other puzzle designers do
I also expected initially two or three pieces would end up creating a corner.

yes it would have been interesting to also see how many of the pieces were in different places for the solution.
That would definitely help!
Everyone remember to hit the like button. It just helps boost the video in the algorithm 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Always
i would give each puzzle piece a number and try different combinations
I will start with the corner piece and try one piece after another one. Nice and crazy puzzle.
Always fun to watch Mr. Puzzle's reaction to accidentally solving a hard puzzle.

😁
The only approach would be that with the only 2 certain identifiable puzzle-parts to put at one place after another in this or that direction.

I sort of wish that the angular piece was part of the trick.
That would drive me mad lol
You teased me a bit before solving. great fun!
😁👍
Good job bro. You knocked that out NP.
Thanks!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Good job solving it!👏 Looks hard
😁👍
Puzzles are as puzzles do.
I think the trick is the corner piece being the misfit.
You did an awesome job on solving this difficult puzzle.
Thanks!
Very cool puzzle. Brute force looks like the only solution. I don’t see a logical sequence. Very nice😃
Same here!

Blister pak 10 out of 10 difficulty to open
How the puzzle looks: an expertly crafted and ingenious puzzle.
How the puzzle was made: someone going nuts with a jigsaw.

You were given 2 guaranteed spots. The corner and the piece in the bottom left with the little spike. I would have built off those 2
Please do a video on Perplexus? I just finished all their challenges and i was really impressed with them!
Love your content.
4 weeks hourglass and still not finished. My fingers are killing me. Please send help 😵
Solution video with detailed explanation is available on my channel! Don't watch before you solved it yourself! 😉
Hi everyone. Hope y'all are doing good 🤙🏻
Where's the black panther challenge i saw it in snapchat and I can't believe it ... seriously HOW!!!?
Why the camera is shaking so much in this video 😅
It's on a rig on the desk. Need to finally fix that one day!
Completely random!

You should do an Arnold voice!
