    My mom gets me a new puzzle like this for Christmas every year. I usually have them solved within minutes, but this year I got this puzzle and I gotta say, it is by far the most difficult I've ever done.
    It took me a total of 11 hours to solve. Let me tell you, when I got that first piece off, the amount of satisfaction and joy I felt was incredible..
    I had to find a video showing how to solve it just to see if I did it right. I'm only watching the first half of this video as I now have to figure out how to put it back together.
    But I am going to wait till tomorrow to try. I don't want to just put it back together from memory. I want to figure it out on my own.

      According to the note that came in the box with mine, it was discovered in the US back in 1974. They thought it to be impossible, but eventually they took the design, made it larger, and sold it as the cast piece you see in the video.
      Or that is all just marketing wank. Who knows?

    Thanks! Nice exposition. There are two orientations. This starts with one piece flipped from the other orientation. I was stuck for a day or two until I found your solution. Worked like a charm! And for those here who are stuck because a piece is flipped, just look for the solution from Mr. Puzzle for the other orientation.

    Just needed a hint, thanks! The spacing on mine was messed up evidently and the very first move you showed in the video, was not possible without excessive force so I just assumed it was not the correct way. Now that I know, I spread the gap a little and can continue my efforts with no more hint hopefully!

    I am here to NOT watch the solution. I own the Delta (level 3?), and solved it easily within ten minutes of starting. The Enigma is the second of this puzzle series that I’ve obtained, and I’ve had it for several weeks and still have not solved it.
    I’m going to give myself a little more time before I give up and resort to watching this solution; but I’m glad to see that it’s here in case I need it. Thanks.
    P.S. Get the Delta. It may be easy, but it is SO MUCH FUN to take apart and put back together!

    This took me at least 12 hours to take apart (Total) and I managed to put it together. But with every piece in the incorrect orientation, apparently I had done it the way which "Puzzle Guy" did. So I finally decided to watch the video, but I don't plan on messing with this puzzle again, if I'm honest it seems a bit too obvious as what to do and it's rather repetitive with that one piece which you slide the Hanayama piece and the long curved loop piece. Yes it took almost half a day total, but it didn't take long to see what I had to do.

  • @austinhubbartt695
    @austinhubbartt695 Před 2 lety

    Yeah mine does not do that. The last move to get it apart I can't get mine to do that last pass before you line up the slot with the solid piece. The one I have just doesn't have enough clearance. It gets bound up and no amount of wiggling and moving will allow it to by pass freely. I was starting to get really pissed because I already had the Hanayama piece off but those two just couldn't/wouldn't come apart. I'm just happy to know that I had it right but the puzzle itself was causing the interference.

    • @EricBuffington
      @EricBuffington  Před 2 lety

      Yeah, sounds like it might be that. The puzzle needs to be exactly right as the pieces don't have much wiggle room

      Yes, this puzzle is definitely tough and can get tangled up. There are a couple of other puzzles that are better for getting started that you can't really tangle up beyond recognition. I recommend cylinder (amzn.to/2HpN19D) and Padlock (amzn.to/2HXxomG) Both are challenging, but don't get tangled up too much.
