Legend has it you can still hear Chris Ramsey's cry
You didn't need the spoiler warning on this one. I watched the entire video, and I still have no clue how to solve it.
Same here 😉
:D
AHAHAH that's true
Exactly!
Paul Dexter Wowwwwwwwww
Your move Chris Ramsey
Lmfaoo !
Haha yes! I’ve been watching both of them waiting for the race! I started puzzles about 2-3 months ago because of both of these guys!
He tried it and failed. Said he'd do an update when he finds out.
joshua wooten Mr. Puzzle has done a few videos of himself solving a puzzle from scratch. It honestly depends on your opinion of which style you like more. Personally I like both methods. Watching someone go through the problem solving steps and stops blind is interesting... BUT I also think it is very interesting to see the solutions to the puzzle because this also gives different insights and allows you to see the logic behind a move or the reason something works, which is glossed over alot whwn just solving something the first time. Both approaches to puzzling videos work, your opinion may vary. Rawr!
joshua wooten I disagree Chris use a lot of luck and muscle to try to figure a problem. Mr puzzle uses math logic. yeah we don't see the step by step but his explanation go beyond than hey I smashed this part!
60% Chris Ramsey 30% putting the puzzle back together 5% the actual puzzle 3% what the sword looks like 2% that you can spell Excalibur with the pieces
There is a percentage for you too though
Where did you get these statistics from?
My brain 🧠😂😂
And reading the comments xx
Ava Allen xxx 1%/me brings out the family chain saw and has a good ol’ rousing round of destroying art
Chris ramsey: i cant solved it Mr puzzle: Hold my beer
😂😂😂😂
True. He has spent over 28 hours trying to open it. He has recorded 16 of them.
Mr puzzle admits that he has learnt the puzzle though and didn’t solve it using logic alone. I don’t think Chris has read how to solve it or anything and is going of logic alone. I’m guessing one day he’ll cave and try to learn it

I just want to tell you, Mr. Puzzle, that my 8 year old daughter and I thoroughly enjoy watching you solve puzzles together! We enjoy doing puzzles together, but could never afford to purchase all the amazing puzzles you show us. Watching you is the next best thing! Your voice is so pleasant, and I especially appreciate your humility and respect for the puzzle makers. Please keep making these delightful videos!
(think about this joke and you will get it) Is your daughter adopted!
@@JudeFurr, Alright, I'll bite. I've thought about it and I don't see what you're getting at. What's the joke?
@@joshbotts7391 Daughters cant be adopted
@@InkscapeXD that's not true. Daughters most certainly can be adopted.
Josh Botts they are calling you a virgin because of your comment, virgins can’t have kids, but they can adopt
*Chris Ramsey wants to know your location*
It would have been awesome if the bottom square on the sword was just slightly bigger than the top one, making it literally impossible to remove it completely.
You're a monster. That's diabolical 😂
I watched the entire video. Actually, I only learned of this puzzle about a week ago and I watched all of the KZhead videos that I could find of people trying to solve it and getting NOWHERE. You were ahead of all the others as soon as you removed the first piece. Everyone else complained about somehow always getting back to the starting position and never making any real progress. Anyway, excellent job! You are now king of.... something.
Thanks, Mark! It happened also a lot of times to me. I invested a lot of time to be able to record this video! Glad, to hear all of this positive feedback about it!
King of PUZZLES
same here
Mark Warbington is mentioning Chris Ramsay lol
Did you solve it originally without knowing the solution?
That is a 1 word puzzle: wow! Or rather 1 rule: if Mr.Puzzle needs to attach stickers to assist in solving it, I will not go near it!
Your accent and the times that you get excited in a puzzle makes me happy, I enjoy your videos.
You do realize that if Mr. Puzzle listened to you speak English that you would have an accent?
Mr. puzzle : "This video will show you the solution, and may spoil the fun" Me : even after *KNOWING* the solution, i am devoid of *ANY FUN* . :(
It's absolutely mind-boggling that someone could design such a complex object... Amazing!
This puzzle was made by using a computer algorithm... That alone tells you how complex this is...
Thank you, this is the only thing I wanted to know about this puzzle... Literally more than the actual solution
Human brain solving a computer generated puzzle. Amazing!
How do you know that?
Mohsien Khan. I guess a human would have to be a little insane to design something like this.
I can make a puzzle using a computer algorithm and still allow a toddler to solve it easily. Idk why there's this taboo that programming is hard and only the smartest people or mathematicians are able to program.
Chris Ramsey accidentally broke this puzzle today. After battling it for a whole year.
Yeah, that was fucking epic! 🤣

Michael Pipkin it does break my mind to even try to think about how something like this is created. I don't have that level of spacial thinking.
I ask that everytime I watch these videos.

Well, first you make a pact with the Devil and promise him your firstborn son. Second, you hope that you don't have any sons.
I can only imagine hours and hours spent in 3d modelling/CAD software playing with the freeplay of various cut objects.
As requested by many of you! Definitely an amazing puzzle! I know the solving process is long but I wanted to show you the complete procedure that you can get an impression of how complex the solution is. Who watched the complete video!? Is there a single one? :D
starting now...I cant stop once i start any of these videos!
Congratulations! England is yours😉. I build a lot of them, but I guess I still can't disassemble in this time, without help. So a great solve - congrats! I lift my 🎩! Stephan from Puzzleisure
I watched the whole thing. I've seen every one of your videos start to finish. Great job.
Watched it complete. Impressive solution. Well Done!
Mr.Puzzle Why don't to answer more often to your viewers and subscribers, because all of us would like some feedback from you???
Good luck putting that thing back together 😂

How I should be watching: 🤔 Ah I see, veeeeery interesting. How I’m actually watching: 🙃 I don’t know what’s happening.
You're not the only one
XD, I was thinking the same thing
Me when he does disentanglment puzzles
Great video whoever designed that puzzle is an evil genius. Also can I say your English is fantastic. How you solved this beats me thank you for your work lee from England
Me: *watches Mr Puzzle complete it* Me:huh maybe I should try it! My brain: oh who am I kidding I can’t even solve a Rubik’s cube
perhaps a good way to show how this puzzle works would be to "reassemble" it without the frame around it first. This will provide a better view of how the pieces interlock and will make for better footage. I did watch all the way through the video and appreciated the solution even more having enjoyed the struggle.... Keep Puzzling!
yes, please Mr Puzzle. Please assemble in without the frame.
Came from Chris Ramseys channel. I thought if there's anyone whose solved it online it's Mr.Puzzle, and sure enough here it is. I used to watch your channel a lot but I haven't had the bell icon pressed so I searched you again and did that. Cheers!
I cannot fathom how you solved this, put it back together, marked the pieces, made this video, solved it again, sent it to Chris to solve when he broke his, and likely repaired and reassembled his. It's unbelievable how your memory works.
Here after Chris Ramsey's unfortunate accident
I think ide rather pull it out of a stone
SAIF TIU gawai me too bro
Count me in
I searched far and wide all over KZhead to find a video on how to solve this. You might be the first person to post a video of this puzzle Solved!
Watched all the way through... There is something very relaxing and at the same time motivating to watch how puzzles are being solved! Thank you :)
I watched the entire video..... but I wanted to see you put it back together! I bet it was just as hard . Great work !
There is no way I’d have the patience to resist twisting after removing the first piece. Well done!
Broken Wizards ikr, great self control
I mean the fact that you label the pieces is already something that puts you ahead of others trying to solve it.
VoidSassin the tape wasn't there the first time he solved it. It is merely to make a faster video
It is to make following the solution guide easier
it seems like cheating
@@deannawheeler2365 if you have already solved a puzzle once is it not cheating to just solve it again since you know what you need to do, whether or not it's hard
Deanna Wheeler its not cheating. I would know whats cheating. Happened to me many times
Watched the whole thing thought it was very interesting how you put the coloured tape on the pieces! Loved it! Great video!!
Nicely done, as usual. Tried to stay with it until the end, but fast forwarded the last five minutes of the disassembly.
I watched the complete video without skipping and I'm absolutely gobsmacked at how you found out how to complete it and also how you remembered for this video showing. I'm truly gobsmacked... incredible viewing
Thanks! 😁
Now we need a video on how to put it back together.
I think this looks hard to solve, but imagine how brilliant the guy that made it has to be!
Kristian Thorsen it was a computer program !
@@mrshitfacemcgee who made the program?
Kristian Thorsen honestly not sure im sorry !
@@mrshitfacemcgee Just because it was a computer program doesn't mean the guy who made it wasn't a genius. If he, or somebody else he was working in tandem with came up with this idea and had to use a program to develop it, that's a proof of skill.
Chillipowda i agree, i thought you meant physically my bad !
I've heard of this before I I'm glad to see you completely solved it. Great job 👍
Watched the entire thing. Still have no clue as to what to do, but enjoyed your struggle! Way to keep at it.
Somewhere Chris Ramsey is crying.
*correct*
Why? Because chris is legit? Dash he is always honest and legit live solves all the puzzles and if he doesn't he tries it again only good knows how much research this dude has done I could imagine he got frustrated and went for a solving guide and then made this video so please. Don't compare those two guys. Here you got puzzles being solved. On Chris channel you have quality content with good edits and legit community. Don't compare those thx.
He must put back together then only he can announce as it solved. He labeled those blocks too. Chris is honest and superb
Watched it all! Start to finish! A new King must be crowned for “Excalibur” has been found! 😊
I've been doing the Hanayama quartet puzzle for 3 days now and still can't solve it and here you are doing this!
Omg when were saying “up here .. over here .. now down here ... this one down now this up ...yeah ... “ I swear I was on the edge of my seat the sword was coming out 😂😂😂 this happened many times 😂😂😂 I’m exhausted as heck at the end 🤣🤣🤣! Great vid mr puzzle ! Salute ! 🙌👍🤗
I watched the complete video, but I think you need to assemble it back, maybe another video :)
Oh, that's easy. Just order another puzzle and wait for the delivery. Done!
lol.
He Said in tue beginning he will only Show the First Part :)
Currently, it is in the position shown in the picture of this video. :D
I actually think that this puzzle was well designed and all, but I have a feeling that it was assembled thusly, and then afterwards they put the frame over it. So putting it back together would be really interesting if it's possible, I'm sure its possible!.....
Now make a video of how to put the wooden blocks, back in.
Absolutely fascinating and oddly therapeutic- thanks so much for making this 👍❤️
I gotta say, I just found your channel today after finding another guy's channel that also does puzzles, and it's very relaxing watching both of u do these. I'm watching this specific one of yours cause I just watched him attempt it and he couldn't solve it, then I saw that u had a video where u did solve it. I'm about halfway through this video and I'm very impressed so far! I consider myself pretty smart (not trying to brag) and I don't think I could do this puzzle. U must be very intelligent! Love your channel!
Very nice puzzle! I bought one of the originals built my Stephan himself. I couldn't do it. I needed to see the puzzle file to get some hints lol
CrazyBadCuber I also built Stephan my self
@@trawlrz37 hello I turn to ypou coz i need help. I really do need help...
Someone needs to send this to Chris Ramsey 😂😂
Ethan Strain He will see it. Then his video will come out in about 2 months.
you can just ask for the solution on the site where you order the puzzle, so he doesn't need tje video to solve it if he just want the solution
No, just to step up his attempt, because he hasn't tried it in a while.
He's already uploaded a video of him attempting it. But he gave up and said he will do another video later when he finally gets it.
He said he's tried it many times. But will only upload the video if it is solved.
Ive come back to this video over and over. I have watched a minimum of 10 times. I am waiting for this puzzle to come back into production.
Watched the entire video. Wow great job, so difficult especially the more free play created. Awesome!
What the heck man, you're a monster!! Watching you solve this is incredible. I love this stuff.
Monster? No. Genius? YES!
I don't understand how these puzzles are created... Do you know a channel or a site that shows a puzzle being created from scratch? If yes, can you give us a link?? 😉 Thank you!
Industrial product designer here. I don't have actual experience with making puzzles myself, but as far as I know it's a reverse proces. It all starts with an idea and a single piece, and you add single steps at a time to make the puzzle more complicated. Generally, the idea here is that you can only take a single step in order to progress; There are no multiple solutions (maybe unintended solutions, but never planned). As Mr. Puzzle said, it's a "one-way", meaning that you can do a bunch of things, but you only have one way to the solution, which is crucial to making these types of puzzles. Let's give you an example: From the look of the sword after he pulled it out, I would guess that the shape of the sword started like this. It's the base of the puzzle to which we will add. This is most of the time "just an idea". Let's add two bars running on the sides to keep it locked in, where the two bars slide into the "pockets" of the S-shaped sword frame. This is already a 3-step "puzzle" (slide the two bars out, then pull the sword out). Now, we can add a step, by adding a bar perpendicular to these added two bars. We've now added a 4th step to our puzzle, where we now need to remove the newly added bar first in order to solve it. We can keep on adding steps like these, constantly repeating the steps up to here to confirm that the puzzle is still possible (e.g. If we add a fifth step, we repeat step 4 to 1 again to verify that each of these steps can still be performed). This is "easily" done with 3D CAD software such as Siemens NX or SolidWorks, by making use of "save states" in assemblies, modifying a part and then walking back and forth through all the steps. Of course, you'll still need serious spacial insight & creativity to create these puzzles. It's not something you'll do overnight and can take many weeks in order to make puzzles of sizes like these, as the more steps you add to the puzzle, the higher the risk becomes that you create a "gap" somewhere, allowing you to skip a couple of steps, etc. - It's crucial to keep checking every single step by undoing and redoing as you toy with the shape of the pieces. It's very important to give your puzzle to other people during the design process, as they might find one of these gaps for you, or do something you haven't intended and have overlooked. This is of course still an intepretation of how these puzzles are designed. If you want to know with 100% guarantee how they've done it, you need to find an actual puzzle designer. :)
Quackertree thank you very much!
Us?
Quackertree Thank you. I'm very curious, what do you do for a living, if I may ask without getting to personal. And what is your SS #, address, and mothers maiden name, and your favorite color.
I'm an industrial product designer, which is someone who designs products for the mass. Can be pretty much anything, like a lamp, a speaker, a chair, a couch, a television or things like puzzles. Anything that is produced on "industrial scale", really. I'm technically not an actual "designer", but I'm more of an "engineer", in the sense that I don't think of new ideas, but take ideas and finalize them by making them production ready. :) Oh, and my favourite colour is red. ;)
Thanks Mr Puzzle the whole vid was good, i would love one of those, fun & frustration.
I watched a lot of people try to sell that puzzle and you have been your only one that’s done great job
If he lived in the dark ages, Arthur would have never been king
Yep, he would still today try to extract the damn sword. Unless he dies of old age.
🤣
LUcky Beast The legend says that King Arthur will return. Is Mr Puzzle the Once and Future King?
EXTREMELY IMPRESSED MR. PUZZLE. GREAT VIDEO!!
I'm not sure how I got sucked into watching thirty minute puzzle videos but I am simply awestruck at your ability to problem solve through this one specifically. Bravo, sir.
2 moves for solving it 1: Pick it up 2: throw it on a wall Tadaaaaaaaa
Actually made me laugh
I can’t believe this is my first time to realize that ta da is spelled dada
@@olbcansat9726 xd now that i see it i spelled it wrong let meh fix it
Thats just crazy hard.... mostly because you can't really see whats going on inside.
Check out Inside3, it's a 3d ball maze inside a box... The hardest box don't even have a diagram to tell you what the maze looks like inside... AND YOU CANT OPEN IT, so if you "get lost" you can't ever restart
@@Mr_Jumbles I used to have a simple puzzle of this type, but all of transparent plastic.
I watched this all the way to the end. I remember seeing another channel try to tackle this one, but failed. At first, I thought that maybe the notification I got was indicating that the channel in question finally solved it, but I was practically glued to my seat watching you solve this. Congratulations! Very nice sword design, there. Admittedly, now I need to ask: would reassembling this puzzle require its own video?
anonormale well I wasted my time and went to yours but I don't see it on there, its now 2 days later
CitfosIla Yes.

Watched the entire video. Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely diabolical. Congratulations! Expect millions of views!👑
I really liked the cluck sound made by wood
I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and I can say, I’ve never skipped forward. Also, I’ve never tried a puzzle but this is very interesting and for me it’s relaxing to watch you solve puzzles! I love this channel! One of my favorites!
Wonderful job. Thank you for this difficult puzzle solve.
These guys made a puzzle just so that people have to stumble upon the solution and not look it up online but Mr.Puzzle is such a dedicated person to mapping solutions that he memorized the solution anyways
He looked it up prior to filming . That's why the tape is there how would you be able to follow step by step guides if you don't k is what block is which
ThaTraitor oh yeah that makes way more sense
And in his next video Mr.Puzzle will be walking on water.
I wouldn't be surprised if he did
Yea this was an epic puzzle. I know it would have took me awhile to solve it alone. It was awesome to see all the moves i wouldn't have thought of probably for months. Keep up the amazing work.
Watched the whole video man! I was mind blown the entire time😂 that was awesome!
This is going to be a little long but i had to say this eventually.. hope you see this. :3 You're amazing and although I don't do puzzles myself, you're great at everything you do. Your different ways of filming are always interesting to see and keep the video interesting and they look very snazzy, you're an amazingly smart man and I'm sure your intellect extends way beyond puzzles, and I happen to have a soft spot for your accent, so sue me 😅 Your explanations are very thorough and I'm more than happy to see longer videos from you, Keep being amazing and making time here worthwhile, I might not be a puzzler, but I'll always enjoy Mr Puzzle and his intriguing content. You might never see this, but you're a great person so I hope it finds it's way to you. Thank you for being a inspiration for more elaborate thinking at the very least. Enjoy your day and all that follow.
Of course, I see and read this! I always read all comments posted during the first few days! Thanks a lot for your great feedback. Based on what you said you definately need to try some puzzles yourself!
OH MY GODDD :D You're the best! Good day to you sir!!
"Did I solve it? Well you'll find out in this video." Actually I found it out from your thumbnail.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 mind blowing, great job! you now need to make a video on how to put them back for a complete success
Whenever I'm sick (like today), I just watch some of your videos and it really makes me feel better emotionally.
U can make the word excalibur with the peices
Wow I got highlighted
@@wafflemaker4922 no you didn't
Oof
Lmao "getting highlighted" isn't a thing. When you receive notifications about somebody liking or replying to your comment youtube just "highlights" your comment for you so you don't have to go digging for it.
Wow I got highlighted
A lil underwhelming it's not shaped like a sword 😂
Think they could make that last tricky piece a sheath for the actual sword...
I watched the complete video. It was fascinating. I can't say I followed it, but I remember a similar puzzle, without the frame, that I solved as a kid. I know this is from two years ago, but hey, I still liked it. Thank you!
Your giggles when you got a tricky move right are precious.
I am soo happy that you did this puzzle :) I watched the whole video as well, it was very confusing for sure. I first saw this puzzle attempted by Chris Ramsey I think but he wasn't able to solve it, that it why I asked for this video. We all knew that if it was possible that you would do it! Great job Mr. Puzzle.

Watched the entire video! And holy hell you actually beat it! Excellent!!
Watched the whole thing. And subscribed. Nice work!
Watched the entire video. Thanks for sharing. Peace.
If the requirement to draw excalibur was this, we won't have King Arthur's story right now.
I cannot imagine how you visualize the parts of this puzzle and conceive a solution, with over 100 moves. I admire your skill and always enjoy watching you work.
There's one puzzle with a ball inside a cylinder with no windows or visual queues and he draws out this entire 3d pathway with pen as he goes. It's pretty incredible.
I watched the entire video...good job!!!
U r the chosen one, Mr puzzle, the Arthur of our generation 😂
Thank you Mr Puzzle, this is a great tutorial.
Thank you!!
WOW! You are definitely a puzzlemaster! I saw one video where the person couldn’t complete it. I watched this from beginning to end.
Bought this puzzle a feww month's back and honestly how you described it's functionality of everything I can possably solve it thx for the help
