Every puzzle fan agrees You’ve got lots of expertise, Doing something you enjoy, Playing with a simple toy, Bringing people so much joy! Watching you is a delight, Hope your future‘s very bright, With a million subs my mate, Keep on puzzling, you are great! Greetings from Germany!!!
Very nice
Neat poem!
Congratulations you won the giveaway. Please contact me by email.
Congratulations Alexey. Great job. It takes some thought and effort to impress Mr. Puzzle.
@@Mr.Puzzle I did, have you received it?
The puzzle was originally named as "Four Fit" , but after Martin had his hard work of 7 days, Stewart, himself, renamed it as Martin's menace .
there is a saying that as puzzles and other problems become solved over and over, the answer or intent becomes more apparent in the collective unconscious therefore the solve time decreases. it’s been proven in large studies involving crossword puzzles and maybe sodoku ?
I honestly think the first name fits very well for it. Reason being is because it's a play on the word forfeit (whether it was intentional or not is up to debate) and also what the aim of the puzzle is, fitting four pieces in the same frame
Martin Gardner is spinning in his grave. "If only I hadn't told anyone how long it took me to finish that puzzle! I should've said 10 minutes!"
Hook him up for a perpetual machine
Martin Gardner wrote a column for _Scientific American_ called "Mathematical Games."
@@jamesmayle4712 wtf?
@@stefanfrankel8157 first thing I thought off was coolmath
A gentleman and a legend like Gardner would have never lied to look cool. Old style manhood.
I love watching someone else experience the frustration of solving a puzzle, then having them show me the solution and thinking "That was easy I could have done that all along". :D
😁
2nd reply lol
@@azlaticamusic omg wow u r so cool
My mother would hate if i got this for her for mother's day... but then she'd be obligated to solve it...
lol My mom did puzzles too. All sorts.
That's evil. 😆
The gift that keeps on giving!
I love how the tight fit means you really have to have the right solution precisely before it clues you in.
As a language learner, really appreciate your honesty when you run into an unfamiliar word and how you think about it and use context to discern it!
The equivalent would be devil-ish. I forgot the initial word again tho lol Edit: fiendishly
I kind of want the giveaway, but I just got a 3D printer and this would be a fun project to put together. A dilemma! A few years ago, I had watched all of your videos, but I fell away until now. I'm glad to see the channel has grown, and looks like new videos have accumulated for me to binge. :) Keep on puzzling!
Wait how are you not verified, ah youtube how wonderfully strange you are
Time to binge watch the videos accumulated on your channel since last year! Oh wait JK, i love your work
OMG BLOB MAN, I BINGE WATCH YOUR EVOLUTION VIDEOS, I'M A HUGE FAN
Big Fan 😍
Thank you for posting this video. Hope I will have a chance to let my friends solve this puzzle. When they can't, I can tell them to watch Mr.Puzzle for the solve!
That's how I feel when I come back from the supermarket and have to fit my shopping in the fridge.
I love how happy he was once the last piece dropped itself in
Tbh even I was really happy and I hadn't suffered through fifty minutes of struggle in real time
I was happy too
11:22 for those curious.
I read this as soon as he solved it lol
I'm an engineering student getting my PhD and watching your videos inspired me to start designing my own! I really appreciate everything you do for the puzzle community!
Martin Gardner was a puzzle titan... He hosted puzzle parties, and after he passed, I believe they kept on puzzling in his name. Great content, man!
Martin Gardener was truly a legend in the puzzle space, just more orientated to the mathematical kinds of puzzles
Yes, his articles and books were a great find for me, in the 70s and 80s. I am sure he solved this puzzle mathematically, as it is pentominoes fitting together. I don't have the relevant articles to hand, but it is more satisfying to see a puzzle proved rather than just stumbled upon (no disrespect to Mr Puzzle, I love his videos).
The best ones are the ones with 'ridiculously tight, but not visually noticeable until you accidentally solve it' tolerances because a millimetre can throw you off without you even knowing as it nearly did here. I like these kind of puzzles.
It's so much more satisfying watching you struggle than watching you complete a puzzle easily! Schadenfreude!
I'm British and I don't think there is a specific single word for schadenfreude in English, the word we commonly use is schadenfreude
I am confusion
@@defnotnaruto222 I’m not German myself but I learned that word from my dad a while back, because he likes it’s meaning. essentially means taking pleasure in someone else’s misfortune.
@@MCHamii There is not an exact word since Schadenfreude describes a feeling which takes longer to express in English, German in particular has a lot of those words.
This puzzle would be so infuriating, it’s like the exact opposite of a perfect fit.
Ah! The shapes are pentominoes, big brothers to Tetris' tetrominoes. Pentomino tiling is an old pastime of recreational math that my computer science (advanced algorithms) prof introduced me to many years ago, and this puts a satisfying spin on that.
I found out about pentominoes by reading the sf book 'Imperial Earth' by Arthur C. Clarke.
I started seeing the fun side of pentominos through Tetris mods.
Watching you solve these puzzles is like watching Bob Ross, the joy of painting. Pure zen.
Started reading Martin Gardener's book after high school. It was so inspiring to Actually learn about math!!
I love how something can look so simple but be so deceptively hard. The fact that it also looks like a piece of art. Beautiful
Fiendish means "Extremely cruel, unpleasant, complex or awkward; devilish" so yea, you were spot on with that guess. You're English is so good I sometimes forget that it's not your native language
Damn really it isn’t? This man speaks English better then most of the native speakers I know.
@@-0m3rcy0-8 He's said in some of his older videos that English isn't his native language and he sometimes struggles with some words.
Your*
@@Wenedi So his English is also better than mine...🤣
@@-0m3rcy0-8 Really? For me it's clear that english isn't his native language. Maybe it's because I also learned it as my second language.
What I like about mr. Puzzle is his awesome infectious smiling happy attitude towards solving puzzles, and of course I love the puzzle-solving as well.
Having a job where you just optimistically gush about how cool the puzzles and gadgets you get is legit awesome. Basically a grown man getting ecstatic over brain teaser toys. Love your work and energy man.
My favorite part of mr.puzzle, is when you solve a puzzle only to exclaim "how did i do this?!" 😂
I really have nothing creative to say tbh but I love that you start your videos with some nice fidget toy things. And the emotional rollercoaster of „I got it!“, „Noooo!“ and then „YES!“ was amazing. I really felt your emotions there at the end haha
So satisfying to watch these puzzles during this period where everyone's mostly stuck at home.
I absolutely love watching you attempt different puzzles, and when you solve them unexpectedly like this I get so excited along with you. I feel like I'm watching a friend or family member and it's very comforting to watch your videos. I appreciate your explanations and your signature line "keep on puzzling", thank you for everything Mr Puzzle!
After taking only fifty minutes to solve the puzzle I'm starting to think that you're Martin's true menace.
I love the fact that the symmetry of the solution can be best viewed from the edges of the pieces. The solutuon is an art by itself. Great video
The solution doesn't have any symmetries. That's part of what makes it so difficult. Spoiler warning!: Infact the solution consists of rotating a grid by arctan(1/2) and then positioning that inside the frame such that 20 squares are fully inside the frame and filling those in. because the side lengths aren't a perfect multiple of 1/2 the resulting shapes are not symetrical. There are actually a few different shapes you can get like this depending on how you position the grid but only 1 of those ends up being solvable with the 4 pieces that are given. To give an example of what I mean you could move the entire solution a tiny bit to the left. This would cut off 2 squares from the T but give enough room on the right to add 2 new squares (one in the curve of the S and one under the S. While this gives another area 20 shape of connected squares it isn't one that can be solved with the 4 pieces. This is what makes the puzzle so diabolical because even discovering the correct rotation of the pieces isn't sufficient to get to a solution
Dear Mr. Puzzle, I've watched your channel for a couple years now and always enjoy it. I can't always afford the puzzles but it's always relaxing to watch you do it faster then I can! Thank you for all your cheerful, good and wholesome content on youtube.
I love how you are so passionate about what you do, and that you can pass that energy on to us with only a 13 minute video! Thanks to your channell, my love for puzzles has sprung up again in the last year!
Cool, keep on puzzling! 👍
That puzzle seems like an analogy for life “even when you think that there is not enough time/space to fit everything you need into, if you try hard enough or are persistent enough everything will eventually fall into place.... if you think it’s impossible you just haven’t tried hard enough”
Well spoken.
Or it's just a block lol
Imagine being a tryhard at life
Hi Mr. Puzzle! I recently received the Davy Jones' Locker, Schrodinger's Cat, Cryptex, and Sundial puzzles from IDventure. Your solve of the Davy Jones' Locker was the only video of yours that I purposely did not finish haha. Now that I have solved all the puzzles, I went back and finished the video! My puzzle collection shelf is almost completely full now. I think I need a new shelf for more puzzles that I find on your channel!! I may try to design and SLA 3D print my own!
I love how mr. puzzle puts so much effort and love in what he does. You can clearly see that he loves what he does and showing young people what kind of attitude you should have when your faced with a challenge. Pay attention kids we can learn a lot from this man.
I really appreciate how you thought of the pieces in terms of units per piece. That is a really helpful tip when solving packing puzzles that I didn't think of! I've seen other videos where they don't mention it like that. they just start mashing pieces together. Thank you so much fo articulating how your mind works. its helps track your thought process and helps me on my puzzle solving journey!
Its so neat he noticed the negative spaces. That definitely takes experience, and still it can be difficult due to how one tends to hyperfixate on the positive space of the pieces. This explains a lot of my struggles with certain past puzzles; I really want to remember this tactic. Such a neat example of looking at things in a different way
And now we wait with bated breath for an email from the creators saying that Mr. Puzzle discovered a new solution.
"The creators" in this case is Stewart Coffin, a very well known puzzle designer and author of puzzle books.
@@AdelaeR Wow, did you watch the video too? I didn't think anyone else knew about there's an actual video after the KZhead ads
@@4f52 I didn't watch it entirely, no. I probably skipped the part where he introduced him, right? ;)
There's another solution right at the beginning in the initial condition.
@@AdelaeR presumably he has a workshop and some assistants or some such.
I am always amazed at how good Mr Puzzle is at talking with his hands in these videos.
My fiance and I watch you all the time and love your channel! I especially enjoy your vocabulary and genuine little-kid excitement for puzzles and devices. Thank you for your wonderfully wholesome and engaging content Mr. Puzzle!!
What I enjoy about Mr.Puzzle videos is that he knows how to solve the puzzles logically, without a lot of poking & jabbing. But when poking & jabbing are needed, he knows where and how to do it. This puzzle is a fine example!
me: mom, i want tetris. mom: we have tetris at home. tetris at home:
I love your channel because it's one of the best places to get some relaxing zen times, plus it's always fun to wonder how the next solution will work! Keep it up Mr. P
My entire childhood was filled with this wooden puzzles. My father loved them and love till this day. I remember taking days and days just to clear a single puzzle that we bought on the local market-place. Seeing these videos makes me so nostalgic! Thanks for all Mr. Puzzle! Greetings from Brazil!
Martin's Menace mystifies many but Mr.Puzzle masters the manipulation and magnificently manages the final magical minute move! Marvelous!
Nice
Good luck!
no way I can do this lol
I made a puzzle from wood when I was in school to become a carpenter, it's same kind,but you'll have to get a big square out of the inset (there's a fitting hole at the bottom so you can slide the big square out)by moving different size squares around😃 not allowed to lift them up 👍
I want that puzzle please
I'm trying to think of something cute and quirky to say, but I'm afraid I'm just drawing a blank. If I should somehow win the puzzle, though, could I ask you to sign it as "Mr. Puzzle" before sending it to me? Thank you!
Thanks, I think I can do it.
i could never afford these type of puzzles so i just go here and pretend im solving it together with mr puzzle
It's like $14 lol
@@onometre im from southeast asia lol shipping fee is more expensive than the product lol
I just love the build quality and tactileness of these puzzles. You just want to handle them, solving them is an added bonus.
Never thought I'd be a 36 year old father watching puzzle videos....but this is my fav part of my day. Relaxing after work, watching Mr. Puzzle rack his brain on these amazing puzzles! Thanks for all the amazing content💜👊
Sometimes the simplicity in some of these puzzles leads to their complexity.
my boyfriend showed me your channel and i now binge it whenever i have anxiety because your voice is so calming
This puzzle is so deceptive - it looks like it should be easy, heck before you started I was SURE I knew the answer. Therein lies the beauty of it; instead of spending hours moving magnets in invisible mazes, you have to think in a completely different perspective to achieve success. It's almost like trying to earn a living on KZhead. Thank you for sharing with us the simple joy of someone who so clearly loves this hobby that he shares with us. It's what sets you apart from some of the other creators in this space.
Been watching your channel for a few years now. Your voice is very calming and the channel lets me get my puzzle fix without having to spend so much money 😂 Really enjoy your content and glad you were one of the original channels on youtube to make puzzles main stream! The way you walk us through your thought process has helped me tremendously in solving puzzles that I've bought. I appreciate how detailed you are especially when you draw out diagrams for maze puzzles! My mind could not wrap around it otherwise. I hope one day you show us your entire puzzle collection though
It may have been Martin’s Menace, but it became the Pride of (Mr.)Puzzle! 😂
When he switches to the big puzzle expecting a different result 😂
Shh. Spoilers. XD
@@Mac_Omegaly how?
@@Blazicle Oi Troy said he switched puzzle sizes. Spoiling the video, not the puzzle. Lol
@@Mac_Omegaly I mean he literally shows the big puzzle within the first minute
I'm an occassional puzzle solver and when this video appeared into my feed I thought "ok, I have fun with puzzles but I'm always doing trial and error, what if we checked how you can actually analize the puzzle to better solve it". That turns out to be a good choice and it was also a more simple method than I originally expected. Thanks for this show, will return to check more videos in the future
Hallo Mister! I've just realized how much has your channel been growning! I work in an Italian school and 2 years ago (in der Nähe von Österreich), thanks your reviews, we started to create activities for childs about puzzling and problem solving! Even if they really young, they're really enjoying this kind of purpose and many of them bought some puzzle and spent much time trying to solve them! Congratulations for you passion! 😉
Mr. Puzzle is the Hanayama of puzzle solvers....level 7 out of a maximum of 6!
You discovered from experience what fiendishly means!
As soon as you showed the puzzle I said to myself that the pieces would go in angled. I had to carry on watching to see the solution, and as soon as I saw you were almost there I just knew you had it. It's a great puzzle, and I love it. Such a nice design.
In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since. "Whenever you feel like criticizing any one," he told me, "just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had." He didn’t say any more but we’ve always been unusually communicative in a reserved way, and I understood that he meant a great deal more than that. In consequence I’m inclined to reserve all judgments, a habit that has opened up many curious natures to me and also made me the victim of not a few veteran bores. The abnormal mind is quick to detect and attach itself to this quality when it appears in a normal person, and so it came about that in college I was unjustly accused of being a politician, because I was privy to the secret griefs of wild, unknown men. Most of the confidences were unsought-frequently I have feigned sleep, preoccupation, or a hostile levity when I realized by some unmistakable sign that an intimate revelation was quivering on the horizon; for the intimate revelations of young men, or at least the terms in which they express them, are usually plagiaristic and marred by obvious suppressions. Reserving judgments is a matter of infinite hope. I am still a little afraid of missing something if I forget that, as my father snobbishly suggested, and I snobbishly repeat, a sense of the fundamental decencies is parcelled out unequally at birth. And, after boasting this way of my tolerance, I come to the admission that it has a limit. Conduct may be founded on the hard rock or the wet marshes, but after a certain point I don’t care what it’s founded on. When I came back from the East last autumn I felt that I wanted the world to be in uniform and at a sort of moral attention forever; I wanted no more riotous excursions with privileged glimpses into the human heart.
Smart guy: needs a week for it This channel: less than an hour my guys!
Reminds me of Maths, even a single inaccuracy may lead to a dead end
I found the channel recently and honestly I just adore how much you love the puzzles and little gadgets you show us! You sound so happy talking about and trying to solve them!
Thank you Mr. Puzzle. You keeping your puzzles interesting and able for the common man to acquire. My brother and I were distant for years but bonded over an interest in you and puzzling. Now we can’t wait for a new video to talk to each other about it. Keep it real. You are the puzzle man

I really appreciate your analytical approach, and love being able to experience so many incredible puzzles through this channel. Thanks so much for the excellent content!
I've always enjoyed Martin Gardner and all his books and puzzles. I would appreciate having a puzzle that stumped him for so long
Two versions of the same puzzle? Something like: If you have one watch, then you know what time it is. If you have two watches you are in doubt!
I have always been fascinated by these type of puzzles. It was fun to watch you work on them. Such great quality puzzles too! Thanks for sharing this video!
i really enjoy your enthusiasm when solving. your love for puzzles really comes through for both simple and complex puzzles alike. i hope to see more collaborations like those during x-mas and the lego puzzles. normally, i don't like packing puzzles, but these recent ones were fun to watch. thank you for making these and all your other videos.

The best part of you is that through your channel you are helping this skill of puzzle solving and keeping the analytical skill of humans live in this era of IT where basic human skills and mind exercises are turning obsolete. Also, through you we are getting the knowledge of not only the puzzle and puzzle solving but also the various types of puzzles that exist and the manufacturers who make them...great work 🙏 love and respect from India
it's amazing to hear how enthusiastic your voice has become these days!! I remember watching some of your videos YEARS ago and loved em, cant believe I still love them to this day aswell lol. Keep it up!!!
anyone else thought it was going to fill up the whole area instead of being diagonal like that?
This puzzle is definitely a cat in a cardboard box : "If I fit, I sit !"
Lol!.😹
When an individual finds themselves at a place or point of indecision, often times, solving another problem is the key to seeing a solution you've been overlooking in other areas. This is the beauty of a puzzle, it gives you the capacity to identify dynamic solutions to real world problems by challenging yourself to think differently.
I absolutely love your channel, the way my brain works I find puzzles comforting. Unfortunately I can't afford many high-end puzzles, so I get the same comfort from watching other people work them. Not only that but you have a very soothing voice. Thank you for what you do.
This is not a high end puzzle. It's a actually cheap.
I figured this one is not expensive, I was referring to some of the others that you have done like the padlocks
Hi Mr Puzzle I have been into Puzzles since I was 13 years old, and I am now 73 years old would love to receive the small version of the puzzle in the video. I enjoy your videos very much, great work
I like your channel for demonstrating the ingenuity and cleverness of humanity, both in the sense that we create these puzzles, and in the sense that we're capable of logically solving them. It's seriously fun!
Watching you solve these puzzles is always great. These puzzles are fantastic, but they mess with my need to have everything fit with straight lines and edges. I think that's the challenge of these. They force us not to look for uniform geometry. Keep up the great work!
This is from my heart, I don’t wish to be selected( there are more deserving people than me). I want to take this time to reflect and thank Mr.Puzzle. Sometimes the most difficult of all puzzles are not the ones in our hands but rather the circumstances of our lives. Mr. Puzzle has mastered both types. As he is a great person who has created millions of hours of hours of views solving the most challenging puzzles( you know it’s serious when he gets his pen and graph paper out 😁) which we have enjoyed world wide. He solved the most complex giraffe puzzle ever 😀. All the while being a great engineer and family man, even during the last difficult year. He will certainly choose a very deserving person for this very nice puzzle. Congratulations to the winner and thank you for all your videos, it’s been a pleasure to watch and rewatch many of them. I hope to meet you some day. Warmest regards Eric😀
Mr. Puzzle, Thank you. Your channel was the first introduction to me when it comes to puzzles. I came across your video for the impossible spark plug & bolt puzzle a few years back. Since then, I have become an avid puzzle collector. Now all my kids love coming over to try new puzzles!! We always have contests. I love puzzles now even more than I had before. And before was a lot!! :). You can always sharpen your mind with a puzzle!! Thanks again.
Always enjoy watching your puzzle solves and seeing all of the unique designs. Thanks for the great videos!
I love these kind of packing puzzles...you know that the solution is simple but it's getting your head around it trying to find it, great solve as always Mr Puzzle!
Mr. Puzzle you are the reason I even started collecting puzzles! I have so many that every year I just lug over a giant box to the Children's Hospital nearby and hope they figure out how to solve them when undergoing their treatments.
The smaller puzzle is something I wish all packing puzzles do in the future. You can showcase the beautiful puzzle without showing the solution. This is a great design.
Such a simple but surprisingly amazing puzzle! Love to see you struggle a bit, it just makes watching you finding the solution so much better!
I've watched a lot of your puzzle vids and loved them. I give your puzzle ideas as gifts to family for holidays. They then have to watch your channel to figure out some of the puzzles.
I like that! 😁
This channel has reawakened my love for puzzles! Seeing your reaction when you solve a tricky puzzle is so satisfying!
Thank you for all the time put into making these videos! Your videos are so entertaining yet relaxing, and I've made it a habit to watch a new upload before bed. One of they few KZhead channels I always keep up to date with.
My dad used to watch your videos quite often. He would always laugh because of the way you say "Mr Puzzle" in your intro. He unfortunately died 3 weeks ago but I think of him every time I look at one of your videos
This is very sad. All the best to you! 🙏
@@Mr.Puzzle thank you!
Fantastic how you are able to solve these puzzles with such calm. This makes it so enjoyable to watch.
Just got into puzzles and am having a blast! Love the sounds of the wood pieces clacking together! Keep on puzzling!
