"Can I do it backwards? Yes, I can!" *proceeds to not do it backwards*
It's like the horizontal solution last time
Same thought!
Yelling at him the whole time...lol Just do it BACKWARDS
@@wolfeson1 Don't change anything. When you do it backwards the problem is the alignment of the inner circle instead of the outer.
@@gaspode8 No it does change it because ring 4 is the trouble ring if you start from ring 6 you reach ring 4 quicker than starting from ring 1 which means you need to try far less outcomes. It actually is easier doing it backward.
This is like Tower of Hanoi, in that there is a simple mechanical sequence to follow to solve it. BEGIN by labeling one side of each ring 0 and the other side 1. Then just count in binary. 6 rings = 2^6 = 64 different combos. If you don't keep track about where you are and where you've been, then it's like rolling a 64 sided die each time.
You're making me do math, where can I lodge my complaint?
There is actually a binary number sequence where ypu have to flip just on e digit each time to get to the next one, and you will get to all of them. They are called gray code. Less circle turning needed.
You are correct, except if you paid close attention, there was actually one piece with 4 possible orientations, so it would be 128 possibilities. That one piece with two nubs can be flipped like the others, but it can also be rotated 180 degrees.
@@Gunstick Yes! Perfect application for Gray Code! Thanks for the reminder :)\
This is exactly where my mind went. Assign a 1 side and a 0 side for each ring. Start at 000000, and count up in binary until you find the solution.
Love how the puzzle and the timer's UI match 👌
?
@@mip4422 They mean the the puzzle and the phone timer's UI have matching colors
This one was cool. When i watch your videos in the winter I always get a cool comforting feeling like family together in a log cabin fireplace going and doing puzzles like these together. Appreciate your cool content.
Love you Chris!! Keep them coming! Super excited every time I see your notification pop up 😁😁😁
Ring 3 and 4 have two notches making it have 4 positions instead of 2. That's why it kept being so close
Ah, right: side A 1; side A 2, which is rotated 180 degrees; side B 1; and side B 2, which is rotated 180 degrees.
I love these real simple looking ones and how difficult they actually become!
I love these puzzles!! As veiwers we can see each piece and go through it with you. Gread video😊
Seriously love these puzzles. I was honestly wishing I had the puzzle the whole time haha. I would like to see more definitely in this range of price. Thank you for the show
A simple yet challenging puzzle. Love all your videos. Take care.
9:39 PTSD intensifies
I have watched almost all of your videos and just amazed, for some reason I got this one right off! Sorry I screamed at you!
You can do this 💪. YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like all puzzles but I wouldn't mind seeing another one where you fit pieces in a frame 😊❤ Great video and awesome puzzle solver!
love you're videos man keep it 💯
always love the yuu asaka puzzle vids :D
I felt like I was doing this last night with the fake log inserts in a gas fireplace(before breaking down and actually lookingat the directions)... 1 picture said there was 7 pieces we probably spent 10 minutes looking for a piece that didn't exisit
Let's go!! Great puzzle. 😮Definitely was something different from the usual wooden. I love watching the many parts type of puzzle. The one with the spaceship coming out of the cabinet and all the different pieces of information with you being as a detective was astounding. I would love to see more of that type of long version puzzle
Such a great puzzle! And from the way it's made, yo ucan do this over and over again!
Love these types of puzzles!
What a beautiful and deceptively hard puzzle - great video, great solve, Chris 🤘🙏
That was fun to watch! Thanks!
I love that such a simple looking puzzle is so difficult
"What a cool puzzle." You said it! Beautiful puzzle and great video!
Thanks Chris! Cool looking puzzle.
I like this one. Feels very mathematical, like you're picking which angles to add together to get the final notch to line up. Still it seems a little vulnerable to brute forcing
I was wondering if I would do it exactly like that. Would a protractor help? Just have 6 numbers and start checking combinations of adding and subtracting.
My favorite puzzle from him I have seen you do I would definitely buy this!
I actually think it’s my least favourite. It doesn’t have his usual abnormal solution.
Others have pointed out a brute force method , but there is a mathematical way to solve this which may be more effective and faster, but takes some time to set up and understand. You can measure the minor arc angle on each disk from one notch to the next. For the ones with two notches, instead of measuring them normally, connect them together in both orientations, and measure the angle between the inner notch of the inner ring and outer notch of the outer ring for both (you only need to flip once to get both). Finally measure the total angle from the center to the outside of the frame. Set up an equation frame angle = angle 1 __ angle 2 __ [orientation one or orientation 2] __ angle 5 __ angle six This equation can and will be satisfied if you substitute either a plus or minus sign in each space, and will also tell you how to orient it. Let’s say you’re measuring from the inside to the out. The minor angle is measured clockwise, from inner left to outer right. If you have a plus sign, you orient the next notch in the sequence clockwise to the previous one, likewise if you have a minus sign orient it counterclockwise. This may seem complicated, but it’s basically the exact same problem with a more easily verifiable solution, and it’s easier to play around with different combinations since you don’t have to manually move and align the pieces every time. Doing it this way also has another great benefit, you can measure the amount of error from one solution, this error must be twice the angle created from one or more angles. So now you can simplify the problem even more by ruling out more potential solutions
Great little puzzle Chris!
Seeing that you had the solution at like...10:08 (or at least it looked like you did), and you didn't even try putting the last piece on to see...took it apart instead 😫😭
Ahhhh!!!! Right! I was yelling at him 😂
@@justinoliver1984 Same! xD
Same i was yelling at my screen saying this is such a simple solution!!!!!
Me who would throw the puzzle through the room after 2 minutes: Look how easy it is!! You got the thingy, just put it in!!! I'm getting 2nd hand frustration haha.
I don't think that was the solution, it was too much anti-clockwise
Yo Chris, Love what you do, long time sub! Also love the crisp sound of the new mic. You inspire me to be creative and hope you can hold on to positivity and hope. 🙏🏼
Tell me I'm not the only one who talks out loud to Chris while he's trying to solve these. hahahaha
Thank you for doing this one!
Dude as a guy who loves cards and is a avid card collector of the strange and unique your cards are awesome even though I have not bought a pack yet the pictures I've seen of them look amazing.
Those clicks when the pieces fall in place are so satisfying.
When a puzzle cannot be broken with brute force to take short cuts, Chris struggles 😂
Yuu always delivers with something special!
Nice to see you doing the puzzles again.
Every week..
I love Yuu Asakas puzzles. I only own the ice 9 but it’s so much fun to solve every couple of months. I have to get more 😁 this might have to be my next one!
One of those that you get lucky and solve it quickly, or stuck for ages. I was the latter. The pond 12 and Traffic 15 are very good, and worth getting. I love all his puzzles
I feel your pain, Chris. I suspect you still managed to solve it faster than I would have done!
"Hopefully we can smash this in under 10 minutes" But the video is like 20 minutes? Well done Chris! I was stumped all the way to the end 😂
we need a "so close" counter :)
Amazing, it looked so simple at the beginning..and I'm surprised how it went
There's only four possible configurations that needed to be tested, two for the central circle, two for the outer layer. You position the outer layer and the central layer, and try to match the other discs to it. Not working, you just change one of the outer or central circles positions and try again. A+A, A+B, B+A and B+B. All the other permutations of the other circles have to be tested, but you have at least a far more efficient method..🎉
The reason why it feels hard is because the other mid circles have four permutations possible.
Start with the big piece and work your way in chris.
I love these deceptively simple puzzles
So close with that third ring in so many times. Cool!
Solving this puzzle is a lot like finding the code to a combination lock by trying every number.
Absolutely agree. I kept thinking aloud that you just need to step back and forth through every step.
I would have started by placing the outer and the inner rings and work from there, place them in a position and try to place the others, if you cant than move the inner one and retry, if again you fail then move the outer ring and retry, it should take only 4 tries this way... man now I wanna buy this puzzle so bad
Very relaxing 10/10.
I love how he never once tries to turn the big outer one around but keeps it in the same position..
Fastest solution maybe. Set inner first and never change it. Now outer has 2 possibilities. Try either. Now there are 2 ^ 4 = 16 remaining possibilities for the remaining. Try all of those. If that didn't work flip the outer and try all 16 combinations of the remaining 4 again.
Yeah. Only 64 combinations in total to try out. With a systematic approach this is definitely possible in 10mins.
Even the inner one and the bigger one actually can flip so is 2^6 = 64
@@OlafsLeftArm I wasn't sure if the completed puzzle could be picked up and inverted and still fit. Would make it 2/64
@@kennethgardzinskiOuter and inner notches are not symmetric so you can't flip the puzzle. ☺
Deceptive little bugger. Loved it.
You should do a live where you're doing a puzzle or something and we can comment to help you. That would be iconic.
It's a nice idea in theory, but in practice, someone who wants to ruin the fun will just look up the solution and give it to him to troll.
These are the beat puzzles!!
Always want a future chris video or a explanation to who the watcher was.
Back at it again.
Start from the outside fam
Watch the whole video fam
@@PatGencarelli fam fam fam fa fam fam lol fam
@Thetruth912 I said the same thing
my second thought
I've been shouting for the first 4 minutes, he just won't listen. I paused to see if anyone else felt the same way.
Mr Ramsay, you have the patience of a saint. Bravo!
Because saints have the patience of 20 minutes?
It is saying. Not to be taken literally!
This was a cool puzzle 👍
This puzzle got me fooled right at the beginning looked like it's gonna be over in about 20 sec.
nice one!
Yuu Asaka is a legend
That was a blast
Start from the outside! There’s only one way the outer piece can fit, so it then becomes a five piece puzzle! 🤦🏻♂️ lol, so frustrating to watch! 😂😂😂
Dude I was saying the same thing. was getting pissed lol
Start the outside piece, then the inside piece and bridge the gap.
This puzzle has 2^6 configurations and you can easily iterate over them... You can also count (approximate) angle which each circle and than just assign + or - till your result is equal to 90°
Since one piece (the second black from the inside) can be rotated 180 without flipping, that adds another factor of 2, so IMHO the number of configurations is 2^7. Otherwise I agree completely.
I was going to get my drill too just put another natche on that last one
my guy had the right idea at some point going to check all positions 1 at a time and working back to see which works. Where the overlook was that the 3rd or 4th ring (depending on if you start from outside or inside) has 4 possible placements , 2 per side, so it needs to be checked for all which is alone is 8 possibilities. The inner and outer most rings have 2 orientations each, and you can discount the last ring as that is either a fit or no fit you can sorta see by eye. Since the inner and outer most rings have 2 orientations each, the 3rd or 4th ring will need to be checked possibly once for every orientation of the 2nd or 5th ring so thats 16 orientations and then again if you flip the inner or outer most ring, so 32 orientations there alone, which is where the difficulty in the puzzle really stems from)) in total the puzzle has 128 possible combinations)) 10 minutes is 600 seconds, so thats just under 5 seconds per combination, so yea that is indeed ridiculous and the only way you can get is indeed with a bit of luck. Interesting idea on the rotary motion of each orientation however.
This would be the best Squid Game Challenge
So close, and yet, so far away! 🤣
Chris, do you keep focusing on using the center first as a way of just building content for the video?
The thing is u could hav placed the smallest ones and largest one first, then ajust the rest middle pieces accordingly... it won't take time
That was so entertaining
I feel like outside in would be the best way to go.
I'm glad I'm not the only one the wondered why he didn't start with the outside ring
Starting from the outside is essentially solving the exact same puzzel. Either you spend your efforts trying to line up the inner notch, or the outer notch. Its fundamentally the same puzzel, no matter which you start from
The struggle that transmission mechanics face 😅
Don't! Touch! The Grooves!!! 😄
This puzzle reminds me of the eye doctor 😂
Its like a Record, you start from the outside and go inwards
This was a tough one
I think its funny how you said "can I work backwards", and then worked backwards, but outside of the frame.
Dude its so frustrating not seeing him start from outside
Really felt like this one was solved by luck because Chris never seemed to figure out that 2 of the rings had 4 positions and just treated every ring like it had 2 positions only.
Simplicity is the hardest thing to achieve
wow this puzzle really shows the difference in how the western vs eastern mind works :D
I love your brain most times 😂
My solution would be to try and cut down on variables. I would pair up the two outside rings and the two inside rings knowing they could be flip. Then fiddle with the two middle rings. If the two middle rings dont fit then flip the inside or outside rings. repeat the process then flip the other set of rings and fiddle with the middle rings.
Maybe the real solution is the friends we made along the way.
Doesn't matter which side you start from. The visual element, where flipping an individual piece brings it 'nearer' or 'further', is a decoy. It's simply about combinations. The quickest way to solve is find a way of labelling the 2 sides of each piece, then work through the combinations: AAAAAA, then AAAAAB, then AAAABA, AAAABB, etc until it fits. Admittedly, also boring AF, but there you go...
64 permutations, brute force!
Surly the two inside outside you only need to change once each to get correct then there are only 3 parts that need to be moved the most. XxX
I would have left both the first and last pieces in other than starting from one side
I would start with the outside ring and move inwards
At about 8 minutes I figured out how to do it. Each ring will change the outer ring by a set angle when flipped. If you take note of how much each ring causes the angle to change then when you get to the end you can say, for instance, "I'm about 22 degrees off. This ring changes the angle by 17 degrees and this other one changes it by 5. Maybe if I flip them together I'll get the right solution."
This could have been a short, instead we all have aneurysms
A logical thinker wouldn't take 10 mins to solve this😂😂 But chris my man
If it was me which it’s not and easily said but I would’ve started with outside ring first and made my way to the center
I like how the sounds of the puzzle pieces sound a bit like a record when it is rubbed against something or scratched. Very satisfying.
You're a magician, you could have just used your powers to slide the nub over to fit in place, but you didn't. But that was a very pleasing puzzle, it just looks clean as hell and there's some kind of 5d chess going on in the puzzle designers heads to be able to think this shit up.
