hey there ur video helped me out thanks its pretty simple once u get it the first time , it took me 10hrs and i watched ur video about 50 times cheers
Can't figure out the move 1:38 - 1:44. I repeat all those movements, but piece without EQUA just doesn't lay down like in your video. It actually get stuck. I totally understand how it SHOULD go, but it just doesn't move that way.
Hey guys, just saying if you need help with any other puzzles by hanayama or on this one, on my channel I have lots of vivid videos explaining how to solve each puzzle
Kind of a cheap trick, making one bar thinner. Then you just get trial and bloody error. So screw this puzzle, I'm filing off those knob thingies and using it as a paperweight.
alright bud, first let me start by saying that i enjoyed the video even though i was actually looking for how to put it back together. that being said i just got done measuring the damn thing with a set of digital calipers and with the exeption of one side that had a light manufacturing error, they all measure the same (.143)
This puzzle was not fun at all. I solved the Enigma and the Quartet before, although very difficult, they were very nice toys and felt good in my hands. This one gave me fingercramps, a headache and cost me 6 weeks of fiddling with it. Eventually I came here for the solution. Thinner bar? That's ridiculous.
@sweetzez I'm going to assume you are falling in to a common trap with this puzzle. Each part of the "outer cage" is made up of three brs that join. So when you look around, you can imagine it as 12 bars. 11 of those bars are sligtly wider than one of them, and it is that one narrow bar that will fit through the gaps in the pieces.
I can't get the protruding part of the non-Equa ring past the outer frame like you do at 2:26 - how do you bring it into position for that? I've been trying to get it into that position for the past hour. Everything else is as it should be.
It's not fake. But there are the moments when U heed to use Force (in my variant of this puzzle - 2:36 and 2:48 - is not easy move - veeeeeeeeery hard to do the same action).
I gave up after trying for a while by myself. Your video was most helpful. It still took me a while to solve it even with your video. There are two places were slight force is needed. At first I was afraid to bend these pieces, but now I know they are strong enough not to bend.
I am starting to see a pattern with these mechanical puzzles (well, with two puzzles - the Cast NEWS and this one). The names of these puzzles are hints.
how can you see which bar you can 'actually use' ? I'm searching and trying to find but i cant seem to find any difference in the bars.. Non is thinner of something... Thanx
I think I somehow messed up my puzzle, cuz i'm trying to follow the steps but they don't work out for me and the puzzle isn't working, or i'm doing something wrong... :(
I almost went nuts - I succeeded taking it apart in two weeks, but then could not assemble, despite retracing all the moves I did :( And then out of the thin air I succeeded. And then coud not dissassemble it again! Now I understand what happened. It is hard to notice 9% difference by unaided eye, concidered that you are not looking for it. Accompanied manual leads you to believe that the puzzle is symmetrical :) Anyway, I like it. It should have difficulty rating of six!
This is a terrible puzzle! I finally got mine apart... with a hammer... into 10 different pieces.
The thin bar is 10 - thousandths of an inch smaller than the thick bars. Finding minute differences in an apparently symmetrical object is NOT FUN. As you can see, the frigging thing is plenty difficult to get apart without the knowledge that one bar is literally 7% thinner than the others.
I'm beginning to question the quality of the products offered by Think Geek.
I did it! May be your Equa puzzle doesn't has it. But mine got a mark on one bar. That confused me... But it wasn't the right bar... There is indeed one bar thinner than the other bars...
Thank you for this great movie!! Although I viewed it a hundred times :-)
My biggest problem is to get the two pointy things on the right place. It cost me every time almost an hour to to get those in the right place. The moment I want to go on with your next step, within a second they're back on the wrong place.
Is it true that the right bar is the one with the mark on it?
There's a bar on the outside that is slightly thinner than the other bars. You are searching for this. This is the bar that you will be able to slide the pieces out from.
@puzzlemastercanada I got mine stuck and I have no idea how. I think I put the EQUA piece around the wrong bar (not the thinnest) and somehow got the blank piece's knob on the bottom so that the open part of the "C" is underneath the EQUA piece's "C". For some reason I cannot unsolve it and i am stuck. PLEASE HELP ASAP!
Took me several days, but I finally got it apart. Now if I can just remember what I did. lol
