  • Today I'm going to attempt to solve this extremely challenging, level 10 Lotus Box puzzle! The object of the Lotus is to find the Lotus Flower.
    BUY PUZZLES HERE: bit.ly/2gcfgMe
    To do this you need to remove an aluminum circular disc with a rod running through the centre. But if you think you've done the puzzle by then you're very much mistaken.
    The Lotus is based on the Yen Puzzle which was invented by Wil back in 1979. That puzzle had a wooden frame with a nail in it that held a Japanese Yen Coin. This new puzzle is beautifully machined from anodised blue aluminum and has additional secrets not found in the original design. Those secrets are where the puzzle gets it's name Lotus Flower and until you understand the reason for the name it can be said you have not solved the puzzle.

    Its called a lotus flower because traditionally, you can pick up a lotus flower by its stem and twirl it between two hands (like one of those helicopter toys) and it will fly on its own. You have to unlock the puzzle by turning it upside down and spinning it by the screwed in piece (stem), just as you would a lotus blossom. That is how you unlocked the mechanism the first time if you pay attention closely.

    12:15 "I can't read Chinese" he says while holding a Japanese 5 Yen coin.
    Edit: A lot of the newer comments appear to be rather salty and uninformed, claiming I'm wrong and this is indeed a Chinese coin with Chinese writing.
    You're wrong on both accounts.
    The kanji on the coin reads 日本 (Nihon) which means Japan.
    Also Japanese coins have round holes (5 Yen and 50 Yen coins)
    Chinese coins had square holes.

    So I started on this one a few days ago. I got the first parts out and knew the next step had to be using the rods as a tool. I also felt the spin move was somehow part of it, but nothing worked! I fought with it for the longest time, then decided to watch this video. The first thing I noticed was the long thin pin that you were using was not part of my collection of pieces. Since I moved from the couch to the table so I could spin it better, I went back to see if i had dropped a piece! Voila! There it was between the cushions in plain view! I was able to solve it after that! So glad I watched the video or I’d still be struggling! Lol

  • @pam8806
    @pam8806 Před 5 lety +481

    Reading through some of the comments and my own research, I'm piecing together some hints shared by other people regarding the "reason" behind the name. Kelsey Megan mentioned twirling it between two hands to make it fly - there are martial art movements called the Lotus Spin where you jump in the air and put your legs in a cross legged position while spinning in the air. I take it to depict the way that the lotus can spin and fly in mid air if you twirl it, hence the spinning action required to solve this puzzle (maybe). Also as a few people have pointed out, the first coin that came out is a Japanese 5 yen. The image on the 5 yen is a rice plant, which is planted in water. The second coin is a chinese 5 jiao, which is something like a 50c coin, and the image on the back of that is of a lotus. After looking for info on the lotus I found that the lotus (also grown in water) grows on a rotation cycle along with rice plants (the 5 yen). The lotus is harvested in July and the rice can then be planted in the same field, forming a rotation and making good use of the field. Perhaps the spinning action also represents the rotation of crops? I'm just making some educated guesses here.
    Btw awesome puzzle, and new subscriber :)

    The true reason why this puzzle is called "Lotus Flower" is, that the puzzle has two coins, old one and new one. Both of coins hidden inside puzzle are 5 Yen, but first is very very VERY old one with a hole in coin's center, other is contemporary 5 Yen coin without hole. This is reference to Lotus seed's extraordinary durability, which can last virtually thousands of years. Thus, meaning of puzzle is, "relic" Lotus seed (old coin) being planted and blooming new Lotus Flower (new coin)
    Ultimately, the true answer to the puzzle, in terms of puzzle's mechanism , is, a synchronicity: as second coin, is designed to be obtained through accidental, but reasonably expected event. (well, spin mechanism itself requires "expected accident" as it is expected to be solved by spinning, but requires some "luck" for actual success.)
    -
    P.S.
    Little tip for folks who are curious about the reason why there is hole in old coin: it is hole there to allow the coin holder to hold a coin with tiny rope. (More precisely, it was not actually a rope hole; the hole was just part of coin's aesthetic feature, which represents ancient view on the Universe: the sky is round, and the land is square. Eventually people used that hole for roping coins though.)

      It's not about being patient, it's about seeing the fun in solving it. You'd probably be thinking you have other things to do that you'd consider more fun or fulfilling than solving this puzzle, although subconsciously.
