    • @FLEBpuzzles

    @TheEgg185 7 лет назад +24

    I wish I could have had a chance to figure this out myself, but I couldn't wait to buy/make it, so I had to find out the answer now. I wish there was a way I could unlearn the solution while retaining my satisfaction of watching the video.

    • @TheEgg185
      @TheEgg185 7 лет назад +8

      I'll probably fuckin forget it eventually anyway. I should go ahead and make one of these and throw it in a closet until by brain is ready.

    • @FLEBpuzzles
      @FLEBpuzzles  7 лет назад +10

      You can also make it more difficult by adding more loops in the center. At some point it becomes impossible due to the rope length not being long enough, but the two loop version is even trickier than the one loop version!

    • @magnusanderson6681
      @magnusanderson6681 7 лет назад +2

      Isn't that just more back and forth though? It might increase exponentially (speculation) but it seems straightforward

  • @ricochet188
    @ricochet188 7 лет назад

    Your video structure doesnt get enough praise. You're articulate but concise and placing your title clip (or whatever you call it) in the middle of the video is a nice touch and a good break away point for anyone who doesn't want to have the puzzle solved for them. Also your intro clip is well designed.
    Over all you're becoming one of my new favourite youtubers. Like some one commented below and as others have said on your previous videos it'd be really cool if you delved deeper into other puzzle related concepts!

  • @danstark3341

    I solved this more than 6 years later after I bought the puzzle. Words couldn't express the joy I have when I can finally solved it. The one I bought is the version where there were 2 towers but the moves were the same.
    I am glad someone made a video on how to solve this in such a clear and precious way. Great job!

  • @markangeloflores9180
    @markangeloflores9180 6 месяцев назад

    I'm a puzzle enthusiast and solve puzzles honestly.You can always solve this puzzle and other related ones by means of abstract ideas like "Mobility" which is essential for the pieces' movement in smooth action, avoiding dislocations and loose thread to the puzzle. Another one is "Trial and Error". At first you don't have a clue so try to move the pieces freely and every time you wound it (lack of moves) obviously you will free again and have space for mobility and finding the route for the puzzle. My hint to this puzzle and you will always figure-it out when the pieces (discs, ring and rope) are tied. Actually you will always loose it and start again.

    This puzzle stamped me for a while a few years back, but as the puzzle wasn't mine (it was a teacher's) I usually had about an hour or so before I had to give it back to him. I loved figuring out the answer though and I kept practicing with it to get the technique consistent (which was rather fun on its own right)

    This reminds me of the video about old japanese man, who couldn't solve a similar puzzle like this for 10 years until a guy from TV show helped him to solve it eventually. I guess it also use the same tricks on moving ropes through the hole there. It's good to see the idea of original one applied to its variation though.
