    I've had this nightmare for 5 years at least, I have never solved it and even with this video it was a challenge to do. Hanayama are sadistic puzzle makers, and bloody geniuses as well.

    • @Julia_Berrrlin
      @Julia_Berrrlin Před 4 lety

      I don't feel like the puzzles require brain though, just patience and tolerance for frustration. It's not like you need to figure out complex thought processes, just find the right angle.
      Are all of the Hanayama puzzles like that?

    • @fpvtomi8965
      @fpvtomi8965 Před 3 lety +1

      For me, this one is to difficult. More difficult than dial and ufo, which can be solved by thinking. This one has to many options, it's frustrating. I think, it had been constructed by a robot.
      Only very clever people, with good frustration skills, can make it.

  • @Hokiebird428
    @Hokiebird428 Před 6 lety +45

    My impression of the Hanayama difficulty scale:
    4 - Easy once you know the solution
    5 - Difficult, but doable after you know the solution
    6 - So difficult that I still don't understand how to solve it _even after seeing the solution!_

    • @Sitruk86
      @Sitruk86 Před 5 lety +1

      i feel like some of the "difficulty" comes from poor manufactoring or cheap gimmicks more then the puzzle actually being difficult, at least for a few of them. Labyrinth for instance, even if you know the exact solution, and have a diagram, actually getting the 2 pieces to slide properly is a nightmare. meanwhile NEWS is the simplest dumbest thing in the world once you crack it and see the mechanism and its like "oh. the difficulty is that you don't understand the internals. but now that you see the system it drops from a 5 to a 2."

    Then when trying to put it back together i did it completely wrong and realised i needed to take it apart again and start from scratch, couldn't get it apart again so i had to turn to this, got it apart in about 10 mins.
    And then... somehow.. I managed to finish the puzzle in 60 seconds on my own.

    Ok I have weird issue here. I know how to do this, I understand the mechanics and did it twice. But 2nd move, when you have hanayama ring out on the thin part and you rotate the other ring so it can come out next to hanayama one. How on earth is it possible to turn the 2nd ring this way? Its filling the space fully and I cant slide the peg into other room so it can turn! I can twist and wiggle both but no way its right. I see it done here so easy yet I cant replicate that turn. 4:45-5:15

    I own 13 Hanayama puzzles. This is the first one that I have fucked up so badly I cannot reassemble it. First of all it took me three days to solve this WITH the solution video playing each time. That's how much of an evil motherfucker this puzzle really is. Then I reassembled it. Now today I took it apart (after much trouble once again) and now the two C-rings in the center will not separate. It's impossible to separate them because they were inexplicably reversed somehow as I was taking it apart and the notches do not line up on them. They absolutely will not separate. Frustrated, I tried getting them back into the cage part. One ring is inside, one ring is outside. The whole thing is fucking stuck and I am ready to check into an asylum.

I have had this equa puzzle longer than the vortex one and have only managed to solve it twice in 3 years but the vortex one I can disassemble and reassemble within 1 minute. Now even after watching this video I still can’t solve the equa puzzle. Sooo frustrating 😂😂😂
