I'm betting that the letters on the bottom of that 3rd drawer were to give the orientation of the cogs when they were placed. It almost seems like Chris just lucked into the correct orientation.
It's been stated already, but clearly the threaded hole in the bottom of the box (after open) is for the foot and a false bottom. Here's to hoping Chris reads this and gets his playing cards :D
@@joegiotta7580 Chris unscrews one of the feet @ 11:25 that has a threaded rod attached... they are saying that you'd screw that foot into the threaded hole you can see inside the open box @ 25:38 , which would open the final hidden spot.
I've watched quite a few of your puzzle videos and this one is tops. I can't believe this came off Etsy, you just wouldn't think something of this complexity and quality would come off there. Dunno just my take on it. This puzzle was amazing. The only let down was the box was empty. They should fix that. Perhaps put a $100 bill or something in it.
I'm still tryna imagine how that is rigged up. like how the magnets were deactivated by (I'm guessing) a command on an arduino control board. they aren't electromagnets, just regular ones. obviously they are spring loaded drawers, but it's so clever how they activate. maybe held in place (or pushed away from the magnet) by tiny levers? but that'd be a bunch of tiny motors and levers inside very little space and I can't really picture that working, unless it's like super fine clockwork. it didn't sound like any motors moving. just a slight bit of latency as the code responds to the circuits being completed in order, and then out it pops (the last one was the most intense). I know how they were held in place, and that springs launched them, but not how the magnets are disengaged so the spring can decompress. maybe a tiny solenoid repurposed to give the drawer a nudge away from the magnetic bond. or lego pneumatics from an old mindstorm kit? lol, nah that'd never fit. really awesome engineering.
With all the magnets in the drawer maybe the drawers are just launched out by repelling one another and once the prerequisites are met the latches in back of the boxes are realeased and bingo boxes are "yeeted"
I have to agree but my first thought was "perhaps that wasn't the end? Perhaps it was a way to fool the person doing it. There were still other mini boxes unused. Perhaps it was one of those that needed to open" But then I thought "that'd be such an awesome way to hide things that are meaningful to me and have nobody be able to figure it out" so ig he got himself a treasure chest to hide his treasure 😂
@@sin3358 He claimed there was nothing in the box without even tapping on the bottom - or unscrewing that screw in the bottom panel. I think he jumped to his conclusion far too quickly.
Me too but none of the things he did in this were intuitive. He just knew that he was supposed to add the numbers. Then he kept trying the knobs over and over, like he already knew but it just wasn't working for some reason. Then it looks like he "accidentally" got the correct orientation of the cogs on the first try. He usually tries harder to pretend he doesn't already know the solution but he was lazy/sloppy in this video.
Chris, I could watch these puzzle videos for days. You have the patience of a saint and the skill of a wizard when it comes to these things! Simply the best my man!! 👍
Looked like there was a false bottom when you opened the lid. Screw in the center you could use the magnet on, maybe? Great video. Amazing intro! Thanks!

Tuned in to see how to crack an impossible box, Eric? Some people say to throw money at it, others say to spit game, but honestly, if you make it laugh it should open right up
This has to be one of my fav puzzles you’ve done! Different gizmos, satisfying feedback when it shoots the trays out, and none of the steps felt cheap. Great puzzle and another entertaining solve, Chris!
my first thought when I saw the little metal circle right in the centre of the bottom. could also just be how the innards are accessed. hopefully he'll try it and update us if it's something
When it's almost 2am but Chris Ramsay posts a 30 minute puzzle video. Guess who's staying awake. Didn't even feel like 30 minutes, damn you make good videos. Loved it as well. I think that code is where the cogs are meant to start, like with those letters touching the dots to in the order of the cogs to make sure they are in correct orientation.. IDK though.
@@vamborala You're assuming that he uncovered every possible element of the box and therefore didn't have a tool to unscrew it..

Pardon the pun, but your inability to think outside of the box is what's wrong with your comment..
I wonder if there’s a false bottom inside-with that metal dot at the bottom that he didn’t use a magnet on. But he messaged the creator and it didn’t come up. I guess I’m just so used to playing cards being in each puzzle box.
I thought the same. there has to be a false bottom to house the electronics etc, but still could be something there (even if it's just a peak inside the guts of this clever marvel).
@@kirkgolembiewski7220 not the magnet part the screw in part that you have to undo to start the puzzle there is a hole with screw threading in the base after the lid opens that looks like the screw on the end of the foot should fit
Good idea! (I'll hide my USB stick in a puzzle so the feds have to solve it to get at my stash. (Ofc the puzzle is made of only the highest quality/strength materials. Try to break in? It will ruin what's inside.)
This one where electric but plenty of them are not and as such could have been made in ancient times. Now imagine archeologists finding and old box fill with stuff just to troll people.
@@morganfondse6181 I was thinking the same thing, it has that little metal disc right in the middle of the bottom, I kept thinking "try the magnet knob on it and pull!" it did kinda look like a false bottom but then ofc all the electronics have to be somewhere (I thought this was all analog at first but now I'm pretty convinced he used an arduino or something for the sequential circuits).
EBFG at the bottom of the box, were keys as to what letter a cog should line up with. Also curious if the circle at the bottom inside was another magnet release?
yeah I think the "ALPHa" logo is a clue for the same thing, since that seemed to work as well for the cog orientation, like maybe the developer thought it was too subtle cuz people might just see it as nothing more than the product label. so there's a backup clue that is harder to find but clearer in purpose. but yeah a lil confusing if you find both clues cuz it makes one seem possibly unknown. and yeah I deff immediately thought "magnet key!" there's obviously a false bottom to house the electronics to there could be more room in there (like for a pack of cards). or maybe it lets you peek at the brilliant engineering. or maybe it's just meant to be a really cool box to out stuff in/"the destination was the journey" kind of thing.
Chris has a huge knowledge bank from doing 100s of puzzles. I've have some of the puzzles he has shown and they are hard! I get there but he is just so quick.
the letters under the 3rd shelf are probably related to how the cogs had to be aligned while the word alpha was just spelled out in the area as a red herring or a design choice
I think E B F G were the alignment you were supposed to place the cogs on the top in . The layout matches the cog posts on top, and the letters E B F G are probably supposed to be pointing to the markers.
this has got to be one of my favorite puzzles that I've seen on here. Looks like a secret object from the 70s or somthing. The analog electronics are awesome.

Looks like there was another drawer on the front. You can see it at 25:42. It could just be where the electrical components are tucked away, but I don't think so. It also looked like there was a metal peg in the middle of the empty box. Maybe pulling on that with the magnet would release it?
20:45 - Realizing as I watch for the first time, that the dots at the bottom of each cog are probably to line up the cogs in the correct orientation. So if the code is ALPH like he was thinking, then each letter should correspond to that mark on the lid.
I have a feeling that you skipped a number of steps by trying out all those letter combinations, lighting up the leds, and ultimately giving you the key. Looks like there are still a few small drawers around the sides, and also a trap door under the main box. But in any case, you did solve it, and it was fun to watch! Oh, and lol, that missing leg making it not standing stable hit a nerve with me :)
I looked so crazy pointing at the TV and say I KNOW HIM!!! IM ONE OF HIS SUBSCRIBERS!!!! I LOVE HIM!!!!….then my wife goes you don’t really know him -_-. And I look at her like YES…I…DO. His name is Chris Ramsey watch……seee…magic!!!
At the end you can see some metal circle inside bottom of the box, I was surprised it just ends as soon as it's opened nothing. Was there nothing more to it?
Like the play over of your rehearsing the number sequences... could listen again and again. Great fun, which you are masterful at...a "beautiful mind!"
Brilliant puzzle, so fun to watch you solve it, one of my faves so far. Did wonder if the magnet could be used to remove the bottom or sides. There could be so much more to this, eg when you open the top there's a whole new puzzle inside 😄
When the magnets are put on the numbers in which you add the two digits to get the code for the knobs...An advanced design idea is to make the positive attractive magnets an add digits together solution and the negative magnets a subtract digits solution as the magnets tried on the back of the box revealed different poles (+/-) on the end of the little plastic pawn knobs.

could be a backup alignment cue in case the "ALPHa" logo is disregarded as aesthetic or just a product label.
@@0v_x0 Exactly
@@rayg7647 Same :)
The numbers above the letters are what he used to align the cogs. The numbers matched the number of spokes in the cogs.

Just said the same, great minds..
1st thing i thought too ...one year later came to see if others thought the same
I just commented asking what that metal circle was and quick it was over as soon as he opened the top he didn't check the inside much.

I feel the same. It is as if he missed the final step. Assuming the last step was to open the box with the key is an unwarranted assumption.

I was coming to say same thing, i have strong feeling that was not final step, because there is many little drawer not opened yet.
Normally I figure these things out as Chris does, but him not understanding that the knobs started at 1 had me positively FERAL

Looks like there are still a few small drawers around the sides, and also a trap door under the main box. But in any case, you did solve it, and it was fun to watch! Oh, and lol, that missing leg making it not standing stable hit a nerve with me :)
Why do i feel so let down that there wasn't cards inside
I love puzzles so much! I just can't believe how expensive they have gotten. So now I just watch yours and Mr puzzles channels.
I looked so crazy pointing at the TV and say I KNOW HIM!!! IM ONE OF HIS SUBSCRIBERS!!!! I LOVE HIM!!!!….then my wife goes you don’t really know him -_-. And I look at her like YES…I…DO. His name is Chris Ramsey watch……seee…magic!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The ending though 😂😂😂 Chris ive seen most of your videos bud! Love working and watching these puzzles and chill music
It's weird that this sounds like a voice over recording.
8:10 “THE NUMBERS, MASON! WHAT DO THEY MEAN?!” Just binge watching all these puzzles since I rediscovered this channel lol
This was a very satisfying puzzle to watch you figure out. What a great design!
At the end you can see some metal circle inside bottom of the box, I was surprised it just ends as soon as it's opened nothing. Was there nothing more to it?
Like the play over of your rehearsing the number sequences... could listen again and again. Great fun, which you are masterful at...a "beautiful mind!"
Watched every single one of these and this was my favorite
The knobs look like those on synths…Synthesizers are so fun!
Love your content! You are so intelligent! May you enjoy immense success!
this is my new favorite puzzle box on your channel, so much fun!
Brilliant puzzle, so fun to watch you solve it, one of my faves so far. Did wonder if the magnet could be used to remove the bottom or sides. There could be so much more to this, eg when you open the top there's a whole new puzzle inside 😄
When the magnets are put on the numbers in which you add the two digits to get the code for the knobs...An advanced design idea is to make the positive attractive magnets an add digits together solution and the negative magnets a subtract digits solution as the magnets tried on the back of the box revealed different poles (+/-) on the end of the little plastic pawn knobs.
It always feel like opening a gift when watching these videos.
The box being empty is the biggest letdown of my lifetime.
I may not be solving it but I can feel your emotions bro and I greatly enjoyed it. I didn't even notice it was a 30 min video..
I've been watching you for years and just realized you're Canadian. Awesome!
Chris Videos always soothes my heart 💜
