    Elegant design. Simple and complex at the same time. Very nice.

    Prying is using leverage to open something. In this case using a flat screwdriver or rounded knife in a crack to pop it open. That’s the best description I can come up with. Funny how some words get left behind in a 2nd language. Sadly I only speak one :( cheers!
    Great puzzle, very clever.
    Best, Eric 😀🎄🤩
    The wood is so nice😍😍

      yes, prying is how one takes off a hubcap from a wheel on a car

    • @beez1717
      @beez1717 2 года назад

      The best example is how you use a crowbar or hammer to get a nail out of something. By pulling back and applying force, you're prying the nail out of whatever it was stuck in. It is also used for when you try to use leverage to take something apart.

    Mr. Puzzle.... You definitely deserve the title of BEST step by step instructor within the puzzle world. Iv'e watched almost all of your videos, and i have to say.... I wish I know more of your face.. You are a GRAND avenue to the city of everyday thinking of avenues. As so is Chris Ramsey.
    Toyota Tacoma was my first puzzles that I solved.
    Dropping the spare tire for a toyota tacome 2017 V4
    If it was not for channels like these, i wouildnt have been able to drop that spare tire from its location. :) Thanks for letting me in on puzzling...
    (*For why is there a jack, and a tire iron, but no extra tire?*)
    Wait... What is this little rectangle below license plate?*
    If you not know where the spare tire is... you can have a hard time finding it if you are there...
    And how you release the spare tire?.... You have to take a rounded head, and put it in a dived, and unskrew, so the tire drop.

    I think I would've really struggled with this one. It leads you to believe things that aren't happening, such as that the ball bearing was dropping or changing position. Mr puzzle did way better than I would've. Loved the sneaky trick with the lid as well.

    Prying would be to insert a tool between two parts and use leverage to force them apart. In English, the "crowbar" would be the prototypical tool used to pry. I believe that's "nageleisen" in German. Not the end used to remove nails, though.

      @@platinpalladium I checked Hornbach and things called "brechstange" seemed to have a nail claw at one end and a spike at the other. I was looking for a tool with a wedge that clearly had no purpose other than prying, and they seemed to be "nageleisen". I just now checked OBI and it looks like "hebeleisen" might have been a better word.

    Soooo .... with all of these puzzles and puzzle makers ... if we ever get into an ET war ... we can just lob over puzzles at them. Either they will have arms or appendages and (octopus and a bagpipe) will concentrate on whether these are wooden or metal grenades ... or they will start to dismantle them, or solve the puzzles. If they have no appendages to finaggle all the parts and solutions, then the puzzles will stop and impeded them from going forward or backward. However, if they do attempt to solve (and do solve) the puzzle, then a little explosive inside the puzzle whether puzzle solved, or puzzle destroyed or ran over - will explode. Puzzles are humanity's latest weapon of war ! Especially if they are made of infectious nanobots !
