    R2D2 or Alles Roger? What is your favorite?

    • @jnerdsblog
      @jnerdsblog 3 года назад +30

      Definitely agree, R2D2 is neat but Alles Roger feels like the idea taken to its proper conclusion.

    • @xxgn
      @xxgn 3 года назад +22

      Alles Roger was *much* better:
      • Could be solved with mechanical finesse (I refuse to acknowledge the alternative solution).
      • The solution Mr Puzzle came up with is one which could possibly be determined by visual inspection (especially for the first half). This makes the puzzle a bit more satisfying to watch and also makes the puzzle a bit more fair.
      • Has two puzzles in one, with the first being a little easier. That's brilliant design!
      • I suspect R2D2 is designed to be solved by two people. That makes it a poor puzzle to hand to a friend.
      • Air-based solutions are kind of gross.

    • @MrSirCedrick
      @MrSirCedrick 3 года назад +1

      I also think the "Alles Roger" was a cool entertaining one, but also simplicity of "R2D2" on executing the same idea but with fewer components was quite admirable nonetheless.

    • @MikkoRantalainen
      @MikkoRantalainen 3 года назад +6

      Alles Roger with the modification that there's no holes to suck or blow. As much as your original solution requires dexterity, I think it should be the only correct solution.

    The way I solved this puzzle was to hold it, almost flat but tilted slightly down away from me, and very slightly to the right. So the ball is being held up by the large ball nearest me, the farther one is out of the way. I then inhaled on the near side, but with my finger blocking the far air hole like 95%, this caused a slight delay between the time the nearer large ball moved toward me and the farther one moving to block the small ball. Just enough time for the small ball to skate through, because of the slight tilting, that's what it would do. Love Roger's puzzles! Thanks for making these videos! PS I did the Alles Roger similarly, now I have to try your way!

    I think your solution with the one with the parallel channel is also clever. I assume the the bigger balls are heavier, thus they need more time to accelerate. So sliding it fast up and down the table does the trick. On sliding up the small ball cannot move up, but the channel is open. On sliding down the small ball accelerate faster, passing the channel before it can be closed. Still, the air gimmick is amazing :)

    If I'm not mistaken, I think you're holding the R2D2 upside down while sucking air, thereby losing your strength of gravity on both the small ball and second large ball. Plug your finger over the other hole while sucking. Make sure the puzzle is facing to the correct side so gravity is pulling down on all 3 balls. The solution should be a single suction and no jiggling or wiggling at all. A one suck solution. :)

    An alternative solution to the second one: can you put it vertically on the table, so the narrow ends point up and down; turn it so the trapped ball is in the upper half. Then briefly suck on the channel pointing up: this moves the upper large ball out of the way, the lower large ball should be out of the way because of gravity. This should let the small trapped ball fall down, shouldn't it?

    so, for the 2nd puzzle, what if you lied on your back and did the puzzle upside-down (while looking up at it)? So the balls all rolled on the flat plexi surface instead of falling into the indented "buckets"...?

      Did not try on the second one because it already did not work on the first one

    Surely we haven't just seen the actual Mr puzzle, I must be mistaken. I thought he was imaginary. 😉😆😆😆

    8:23: "Let me just try a second over here, to figure out if there is a certain angle, because this is very uncomfortable, as you can imagine". ...proceeds to blow on the puzzle outside of frame... we hear only sounds... 8:40: Wait, what? are you? sucking on? Sounds like a bong! 8:47: "I'm getting dizzy already". *I knew it!*

    Different approach: R2D2 has a rotating head. What about placing the puzzle on its long side (small ball resting in the upper part above the bigger balls). By rotating it around the middle axis, the two bigger balls are pushed outside (centrifugal force), giving space for the small ball which goes down with gravity.
    Makes more sense to me than this ball sucking happening... ;-)

    I would have aligned the middle channel for the small ball vertically, and try spinning the puzzle fast enough to allow the large balls to be pulled outward with centripetal force while keeping the small ball unaffected by the rotation and falling downwards.

    Umdrehen, gelöst! Nachdem es sowieso absolut symmetrisch ist, muss das reichen. 😎
