Today I'm going to attempt to solve this extremely difficult burr puzzle. This puzzle is known as excalibur and the whole point is to remove the sword from the box puzzle while moving around the parts and put it back to how it was. Can I solve it?

Am I the only one who finds the level of thought that goes into making these puzzles more interesting than actually solving them?
It was a computer algorithm that made this one.
oh absolutely!! it takes a beautiful mind!
Rawr Imma kitty you ain't the only one..
Yes
aceofspades someone still had to make the algorithm

Chris i know what you need to do to solve it!!
You see the sword handle sticking out from the box? Well you need to remove that!
You are very welcome my friend!
Why didn’t I think of that!
@@HillFam72305 Yeah you just have to think outside the box lol.
Ambrose LOL

Smart, Chris should see this
Now someone should painstakingly make this thing with a real sword, cement, and cinderblocks.

Its not hard because you just have to learn patterns. No logich needed there
@@dusanbursac5012 nope,it is needed,very much logic

fardin er wtf are you nerds talking about
It will be interesting if the developer actually decided to have only one puzzle to have the solution
I've been watching him solve puzzles for 3 days now. Some complex, some not. Very challenging. I love his positivity on ever piece.

This thing is a masterpiece in wood!

TheSurgePhoenix I was reading your comment then he said let try not to tilt this too much 😂
Lol

When Excalibur falls, hold that piece out and turn the puzzle upside down and start pushing everything around again. There shouldn’t be any way that it goes back to square one if you are holding that piece out. Just a thought.

Relentless Bass Fishing i did it and holy shit ur right
anime pineapple 66 that’s awesome. I thought it might work.
That's the answer.
Well done!!
Relentless Bass Fishing where can I get Excalibur?
If you haven't solved it yet I can give you 2 hints. I finally got it after a few weeks lol
1: You won't twist or turn any pieces, you will be able to pull them straight out as you solve them.
2:You won't move the sword at all until you are working on removing your SECOND piece.
Have you tried legally changing you're name to Arthur
I bet Aquaman could solve it
I can pull out the sword because I was born with the name arthur

"You are name to arthur" :D
Dude, don't give up. I seriously NEED to see how you solve this one.
Just go watch Mr. Puzzle
*Have you tried turning it on and off again?*

Sorry dude. There's a problem. *IT HAS NO ON/OFF SWITCH.*
Monkeyfaceplant it has one
Monkeyfaceplant it's a jokeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I believe he has restarted it 4 times already, the fourth time he even shows in the video. Hmmm
Chris: *spins a puzzle*
The puzzle: alright now I’m solved
My heart melted when you just plopped a puppy dog on the table to help like 😍😍😍
When the sword drops down did you try turning the sword piece? The sword handle is angled which gives me the impression that you should be able to turn the sword. This would change the position the holes in the blocks are when you pull it up so the blocks go to the edge like you were thinking. Then you can pull the sword up when all the blocks are edged to the white sides. Not sure if that makes sense...
HonestSpiritual it looked like he was trying to do that earlier in the video and I thought the same thing when the sword dropped down.
Thought the exact same thing
I just watched Mr. Puzzle solve this... I have to say... dude, you weren't even close. I don't say that as an insult - I say that as an OH MY GOD THIS THING IS FREAKING CRAZY. I consider myself a very patient person - but there is no way - NO WAY I'd ever spend the amount of time necessary to solve this puzzle. Especially since it isn't a logical puzzle - just trial and error. If you solve it, I'll be seriously impressed.
I have. (say hello to the emperor of puzzles, me.)
he won't he wasn't even close Mr Puzzle is the real puzzling guru
@@chaselemay1068 I will say this because I've just watch the video myself and you do have to be a little forceful with it.
Yeah, Mr.puzzle is the Guru, but Ramsey is so much more entertaining.
seriously
Chris: I dont want to tilt it because it might mess it up.
Also Chris: shakes the cube
It's good to show when you can fail, and kudos for uploading a video on just how hard these sorts of puzzles are!
the handle of the sword seems to rotate also
Jason Alaimo I was gonna say the exact same thing
Yes. Saw it too.
maybe the goal could be to get Excalibur low enough to rotate, which could free the blocks, maybe.

,my mom and I have to go out to be a little more too it was a good day for the next few weeks and months of this year and a half hours and hours of sleep last week to get my umbrella organization that is the most beautiful girl in the world is full version and I have a nice dream of the year and the first half of my friends are the only way I can get the hang of this page and I don't have a nice person and a few years ago I have to go out to be the same thing as the only thing I would be a great way to the gym and a lot of fun with my ipad
did you just tap the middle button a bunch of times?
I have an idea
“Don’t tilt the hilt
And don’t shade the blade”
I have no idea why I just thought of that
I have watched a lot of your videos, and this is the first one where I saw you unable to saw a puzzle. It was actually a really good surprise and refreshing to know your're human. Anyways, cool channel brother. You and a few others got me into magic at the age of 30.
For some reason, it somehow reminds me of a really hardcore game of Jenga.
Can’t wait for a journalist to write an article entitled the Excalibur puzzle is the dark souls of puzzles
Haha! Yes!
Bro it'll happen soon I'm sure smh
thanks chris for getting me away from the electronics and get my mind and hands active after seeing you do these puzzles i have been buying like crazy thanks again
U cannot give up just yet!
Chris! Stay Determined
The most impressive thing is how they came up with it...
shallowlord the machine came up with it :)
shallowlord
That's what i was thinking. The puzzle is crazy hard, but how do you even start creating something like this?
119 moves in sequence will not require just luck, each move has a purpose.
Possibly returning to the start is like you said 'muscle memory' taking back through moves you have already done.
You said yourself that in some of these puzzles you may need to twist pieces, when the sword drops down that could create space for a twisting motion.
I hope you solve it and I love your doggo!
Another suggestion i just thought of would be to see if any pieces move up and over others. Hope that makes sense.
as soon as I noticed that 'solving' wasn't in the title. I knew this would be a nice video
udos, man, for being real and honest. Showing non-successess is super cool for some reason. I respect you.
Hi Chris i want to share a quick story with you, it will probablly get lost in the tons of comments, but i hope you are going to read this. So i just wanted to say that the Memento Mori deck is my favourite deck. So here's why. I live in the Czech Republic, and i had a dream to go to the US. So i did, went to New York. When i was there i really wanted to visit an actual magic shop, because we have none here, only internet ones. It was friday and Tannen's was closed, so i went to Fantasma. Had a great time there, met Brandon K. Willams and other cool people. He showed me the new decks they had, and one of them was the MM Blue. And we talked about the controversy and stuff. I said that i would love to have the original version. They had 1 deck left, that was put on show for people to try out. So they gave it to me at a discount. Whenever i take the deck and do something with it i always remember the occasion and i like to think, that the energy of all the people, who handled it before me is still in that deck. Anyways that was my story and i also hope that i'll be so lucky to meet you one day, so you can sign it for me :D
really cool story just so you know. Off to the top you go!
Oh man thanks for taking the time to read this ! I really appreciate you :)
Nice adventure, dude. I hope you can have his sign one day!
nice story, velmi dobry :-)
A legit deck of that rarity OMFG
I love so much to take a brake and watch your puzzle videos
It's so relaxing!
Imagine if Arthur had to do this
Not sure what brought me here but I’ve been stuck on you channel for 3 days. Pretty satisfying oddly.
The inevitable conclusion to this video will be so awesome. What a frustration puzzle. Keep doing what you're doing.
The sword is supposed to drop down. It also moves back and fourth after it drops down. Heres a link to it being solved but probably won't help a whole lot because it's near impossible to memorize each side and piece.

@Chris Ramsay -- Thanks for doing these videos. I have been contemplating getting into doing these types of puzzles, because I like activities that exercise my intellect. The ability to stick with a challenging task and attempt multiple variations of solutions increases intellectual fortitude and is very satisfying. That is why I took up coding and woodworking in fact. After watching your videos I am in the process of selecting my first puzzle. Would you have any suggestions on what my first puzzle should be? I would like to keep the cost under $100 for my first puzzle. Thanks for your time and these wonderful videos!!
Looks like England remain without a king
With 119 moves required, you'll never happen on the solution by chance!!! Is there some way to methodically try one move after another and see what each does, recording the moves as you go? Also, since you can't see the inside of the puzzle, try probing between the blocks using a feeler gauge, lockpick, etc. You may be able to determine the internal configuration by feel. That may give you some idea when you've made progress after a move. Good luck! You're far more patient than I am!
Love your videos! Chris Ramsay
When I've tried these types of puzzles, usually you have to twist a piece into position. You could also try starting upside-down.
I have honestly just removed excalibur. about 4 hours in total and I have no idea how I did it
JPT315 wow lol
Hope that helps
You got your monies worth then..
Video or it didn't happen 😉
Do you remember turning the blade at all?
I'm no puzzle expert but I would start by putting some colored stickys on each side of the block and even on the pieces themselves to help with remembering what went where ya dig, awesome looking puzzle 👍
Perfect then start removing pieces in order to get the sword out puzzle solved
Sweet original idea about the colored stickers
Somebody watched Mr. Puzzle’s video on solving this puzzle 🤷🏻♂️
@@evo9_slut849 i was gone say samething lolol
Ya dig
at 2:45 you can see the handle/handguard is not straight
THE DARING SMITH I’m glad I’m not the only one who spotted it

IM not straight
i know the solution!
up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, A, B, A, B, A, start

Twist that block that falls down, maybe? Allow the piece holding Excalibur to rotate and allow for more unique moves on each side? 🤔
Pieces are square/rectangle; wouldn't twist when surrounded...
N'gasta Kvakis it looks like it can twist though
Does it now... Look again.
N'gasta Kvakis, nah man you look again, it looks like a rectangular prism with a square face that has a pin on the end not facing you, maybe it can turn maybe it can’t, but he never seemed to try it,
Look it is simple; it is a cube at the top and bottom. If the bottom spins freely, it doesn't accomplish anything because it's a cube with even sides (there's a small chance it does, but that is not what OP implied anyway). If the top spins, well it can't, because it is tightly stuck inside the brown cube frame. Extremely clear to see many times during the vid, and doesn't really take 200+ Rick and Morty fan IQ to see.
I bet I could solve it... with a table saw or two...
you can make anything fit... with a big enough hammer.
Why would you need 2?
Lambert Brother
1. It was an expression.
2. That sword ain't coming outta that box unless I have 100 table saws.
1. I know it was.
2. I think you have a serious table saw addiction. Would you like me to get you in touch with a support group to help you with your addiction?
Extremely funny
Chris to dog: "Can you solve it?"
Dog: *boops with nose*
The soothing asmr sounds tho, makes me sleepy😌🎧🎶🔊 the clicking and noise
The bottom piece is a large brown square attached to the sword. You need to create a sequential space of that dimension, that will allow it to travel up step by step and not drop it down in my opinion. Dropping it down is the opposite of what you want to do. I think a good way would be to imagine the box has three compartments in which that bottom square has to have space enough and try to get a gap big enough for that bottom piece to fit into it. Once it has moved up one level you have to create space on the second level and so on. Just a thought, and that is probably why it takes so many moves.
ya I'll bet at some point you have to hold the sword piece from dropping down while your still manipulating the sides and eventually you will get it to move up a notch, and then while still holding it up do some more moves and then you will finally release it.
Well put :)
The only problem is not knowing the shapes of each piece.
I think i does need to go down but later can be moved up. There is probably a reason why it can go down. This thing seems very hard. Then think how to put it back...
Actually very true
I think your dog might actually have been on to something. The fact that the hilt twists might have something to do with opening it. Possibly the blade contains some sort of pin that is retracted when the hilt is twisted?
He ended up accidentally turning that top part of the hilt several times. He said burr puzzles normally have a "twisting" element. I bet that is exactly what it is, and he just didn't notice. I was talking through the screen for him to notice the hilt, but he never did.
Does it matter that it seems to be able to do a full 360 degree rotation?
So basically pull an aurthur
The dog knew all along. The dog was probably saying"Dumb human im trying to help,jeez"
What if he held it upside-down by the hilt and spun it? some puzzles you need to do that
Hell no I didn’t enjoy this, I loved this!!! Especially the confidence booster in the end 🤣
lemme try! i liked not knowing if you were going to finish it. gave the video some suspense
Man my mind crumbles even with simpler puzzles. I can't imagine there insanity being any less after 6 hours!
I love watching you do these puzzles Chris!
OMG This looks so cool wow . my dad would of loved these puzzles .. i really hope you get to solve this hun good luck you can do it with some patience and a little bit of luck thrown in i have faith in you x
Caliburn is the sword in the stone and excalibur is the sword given to Arthur by The Lady of the Lake
You're wrong. There's no right answer for this. It may very much be a linguistic evolution. All studies point in this direction. Caliburn and Excalibur are the same sword until new studies of mythology arises and show a different logic to the King Arthur's tale.
Edit -> Source: mythology.stackexchange.com/questions/20/are-excalibur-and-caliburn-different-swords
Karen here and acctually I know more than both of you because I studied a whole page of facebook and acctually neither swords existed! Do your research!
There is probably only one combination shakes it like crazy. LoL 😂
Morrow Volgs man 😂 break that ain't gon bother😂
Morrow Volgs burn it
Or, now this is just my thought, one could just shoot the thing.
Only the rightful king of England can draw Excalibur from the stone.
So clearly the solution is to give the puzzle to prince Charles.
Ascdren he’s a prince not a king :P
Prince and Heir.
moron
Excalibur wasn't the sword in the stone that was Caliburn. Excalibur was given to King Arthur by the lady of the lake
might makes right
Mordecai Israel the moors were in southern Spain my guy
Hey man just want to say love your vids and just subbed love them so much such cool puzzles nd really relaxing to watch
like your presentations, the jokes and the visuals are great also. subbed.
I’ve found with some burr puzzles (I’ve never done one over 50 moves so I don’t know how manageable it would be on this beast) it helps if you can come up with a notation to record the moves and draw out a tree of the paths you’ve tried. This helps keep you from going backwards or retrying the same thing that doesn’t work. Also it makes it feel like work so it may not be for everyone.
Mapping works just fine for any number, just gets really really tedious at some point over 80 moves or so :P Not half as tedious as spending the same time on making 0 progress with 0 idea what's going on though :P
I watched a video on how to do this, I wont spoil it but you move the pieces enough you can pull them out, the sword will move up and down but it doesn't mean anything as its a a piece of the puzzle its self.
LOL, loved the ending, that was awesome, and missed the giveaway by a year and a half, lol Love your videos
2 years :(
I really love your puzzle videos!
*have you tried incorporating the sword? it seemed to turn*
★ You need to keep a finger underneath the square piece so that you can push it up ★ and with luck the maze might open up a space and it might go up. Worth a shot
as soon as I saw his dog I clicked like, but I also loved this video,, I love puzzles so much it makes me want to try it myself
Obi melted my heart
Aww dang, hoping to see it solved in the near future, don't let it get to ya!
Saw this & immediately thought to myself, "I want this." Good attempt Mr. Chris.
Rewatching to prep for part 2!
Always excited to watch your puzzle videos!!!! Biggest fan from New Zealand 😋
Your dog is so cute❤️❤️❤️
I love you Chris Ramsayyyyy! I live in Dubai, if you ever visit Dubai please make sure to let me know....
When I see your video it make me relax ....... Thank u for posting this good video
all puzzels are time wasters, thats their point, to pass the time, glad you found one that does just that for you at last, it should keep you entertained for a very long time
Love magic, puzzles, and everything else u do keep up the great content!
Hope is slim on winning, but Im already thankful for all the free knowledge and entertainment by my boy Chris
You got this dude! I believe in you 🥳
Why are these videos so relaxing to watch?
I would never have the patience to do this puzzle or any other puzzles for that matter. But I love watching you solving these.
I could remove Excalibur in 10 seconds, 9 seconds of trying to do it right and one second to smash that block on the ground. Lol
haddoxboi do you want a trophy
I'd do the same thing...
haddoxboi congrats you win a Oscar
imdav 135 I always wanted to win an Oscar.... I would like to thank everyone behind me uh, God and uhhh....
Ayden Yost no but a medal would be nice
Have you played interlocked
It’s the same kind of puzzle
But there’s a bunch of levels
that doggy was so cute 😭❤️🐕
Thank you for making my day better
Perhaps you are supposed to return to the beginning for the most part except having a few blocks changed and get to the end by restarting over and over with a few blocks slightly changed.
Nope. its a one way road.
MAN! Hopefully you got around to solving Excalibur! That was an awesome puzzle.
Um I have no idea why but that key against the wood feels so relaxing like ASMR I keep replaying it lol
Man I love everything you do I love magic and you're the one that has really got me into these puzzles thank you for everything
Sup Chris, great video man keep up the amazing work, love your vids especially the puzzle ones, love you👍
