  • Today we're going through the simplest solution for the Hanayama Elk puzzle.
    To get more puzzles like the Elk puzzle, check out the Puzzle Master website; www.puzzlemaster.ca/?a=816591
    The solution is easy to do but not easy to find first time around.
    It's all about one of the pegs on the antlers of the N.O.B piece being very slightly shorter than the others.
    Hopefully, the solution you'll see is easy to follow. If you think you can beat my time for how quickly you solve the Hanayama Elk puzzle, comment below with your time.

    My guy, I love these videos, especially because when I finally solve these buggers, you help me make sure the puzzle is back in neutral before handing it off to my friends

    I solved this without any help in less than 5 minutes. Can't believe this is a level 6 puzzle. Should be level 1 or 2, not the highest level. Way to easy. Still love all my puzzles, but this isn't true level 6. FYI I own close to 50 hanayama puzzles, I only watch your videos after I solve them first myself and I enjoy seeing how you do it versus me. The damn Hourglass still kicks my butt when I break it out, but I can honestly say, I did the puzzle without any help the first time. Fairly proud of that achievement.

    • @RossDM

      Well done on the Hourglass. I'd agree with the Elk being rated higher than it should be

    • @RossDM
      @RossDM  Před 2 lety

      Without looking at it, I'd guess you need to do the solution with one of the pieces the other way around. Not sure which without trying it myself so see if you can figure it out?

    I know it will seem idiotic, but actually, it took me longer to put it back properly into its thermoformed plastic box than to solve it… ^_^; That was impossible to find the exact position Elk would fit inside…

    I think my puzzle is defective. The pegs are a little too big. It will not go through 0:43 🙁

    • @RossDM
      @RossDM  Před 2 lety

      Double check the orientation you have it in. The only alternative may be that it's a different shorter peg? But if it's a Hanayama version, that shouldn't be the case.

      The point is to teach you how to do it in 3 seconds. I'd say learning this essential life skill is well worth 3 minutes of your time, wouldn't you?
