      +Novaria don't see why not, as if they are on their side ! along the dotted line they should be symmetrical unless the sides were cut on an angle

    I thought it will be circle because I know biscuits are circle

  • @jscacioppo
    @jscacioppo Před 7 lety +74

    Wouldn't another solution, or rather infinite amount of solutions, be to put the pieces orthogonal to the plane the paper is on yet co-planer with each other? At least by the descriptions of the rules you gave.

    • @Calimariyum
      @Calimariyum Před 7 lety +24

      You mean the pieces stand up straight on top of eachother, aka on top of the line, then it would form a symmetric shape across that line. While this is true, this type of solution can be seen as a trivial solution to the problem since it will always be symmetric in this way. The goal of the puzzle is to find a symmetric answer, but it is assumed that what it is really asking for is a nontrivial solution to the puzzle.
      The puzzle solution you bring into account here really has nothing to do with the puzzle pieces themselves. The puzzle is only a puzzle because it is (and should be) assumed that the shape of the pieces influence what the answer could be, therefore, under this constraint, your solution, while valid in the sense it follows all the explicit rules, is not a true solution to the puzzle.

    • @ComradeTiki
      @ComradeTiki Před 7 lety +2

      A better reply is to demand this puzzle meet two perpendicular planes of symmetry-- the one intended -and- the trivial one parallel to the paper.

      Won't work. It will look symmetrical when viewed from above but won't have any physical symmetry.

    • @kitchenmaiden81

      Put them on their sides parallel with the line. That way half of each piece is on each side of the line.

      I've been meaning to do that for a while. I'm hoping I'll get to it later today.
      Unfortunately, a number of these puzzles aren't available for sale. They were either made for a one-time event or only a few were made and they're highly sought after by collectors, but I'll try to get information up for the ones I know are mass produced.

  • @TrustTheFund
    @TrustTheFund Před 7 lety

    What if you placed the pieces on top of each other and arranged them in such a way that, when you look down on it from above, it gives you a circle? Wouldn't that be symmetrical?

  • @brandynettleton1658
    @brandynettleton1658 Před 7 lety

    Well, it does seem super easy once you know the answer! It would've driven me nuts to figure it out, though. I would've continued to try to somehow put the pieces flush together and that wouldn't have ever reached a solution.

    • @FLEBpuzzles
      @FLEBpuzzles  Před 7 lety +1

      It's actually very tricky! There's a good reason it's an award-winning puzzle.

  • @ApocaIipto
    @ApocaIipto Před 7 lety

    awesome stuff dude! i subscribed.
    I actually recognized this puzzle from another video I watched some other time.
    for a puzzle lover who has no easy accessability to a workshop, wood tool, or a community workspace, but who would like to take steps in this fascinating world of puzzle inventing or manufacturing.. would you recommend getting a small cnc machine for home use?
    or rather a lazer cutter?

    • @FLEBpuzzles
      @FLEBpuzzles  Před 7 lety

      One way to start would be to make wire puzzles! You don't need a cnc machine or laser cutter, just some pliers and a wire!
      But if you want to get serious about making your own custom puzzles, you'll either have to spend a lot of money 3D printing, or learn woodworking. I've seen very few puzzles that aren't made one of those two ways.
      You could also use a cnc machine or laser cutter, but I think it might be harder, from a tolerance perspective, to get the puzzle to feel right.
      There are also a lot of puzzles which are just on paper, such as the entire puzzlehunt community!

    the first 5 seconds i thought the solution would be placing them atop one another, creating a circle. Kinda seems like putting them in a certain orientation can do so. Maybe it is one of the solutions?

  • @alanmccormick6911
    @alanmccormick6911 Před 7 lety +1

    I think the problem with the puzzle is that it has two solutions. The puzzle would be more pure if it only had 1 intended solution. In chess problems, extra solutions that aren't intentionally thematically related to each other are considered "cooks" and void the validity of the composition. I think with a little more work the creator could have came up with shapes that only had 1 solution.

  • @mr.manladies5518

      Right! There's a whole class of puzzles that try to find "psychological blindspots" to make it hard for you to solve. I recently solved a puzzle called the "Eccentric's Dream" whose solution was a dirty, dirty psychological trick.
