Gordian's Knot puzzle animation

[impediguy]

Funny, this is not the way that I solved it: there is more than one way. This way is purely orthogonal: the way that I did it took much fewer moves (without forcing anything). Is this the way they tell you in the instructions? My friends took the solution away from me before giving it to me as a gift (and a test). I had no desire to see the solution (e.g. on YouTube) because what would I learn from it? By doing it myself, I learned how to think ("outside of the box") and discovered another way.

Thank you.  This is beautiful, knowing that the solution is available to study.

[abcdefghijklmno12705]

[cybervietman1996]

how about taking it apart O.O

[Falconator3377]

solved it in 15 mins first try and first time ive ever heard of it

[ecsurvivor]

i solved it alone. but for me the green piece came out first.

[wenaolong]

I want one of those. I'll make one out of wood one of these days, when most of my life is behind me and I need something to do to keep my mind calm until death finally comes for me.

[1Lisztener1]

Wow...

[richardmullins44]

cool.

[ChrisEddie1401]

I firstly heard of it last week... 10 minutes after that I solved it... no internet or TV or books or whatever... alone. It ain't that hard if you got some brains.

@ChrisEddie1401

the question is did you do it the right way.

There is a part where you can take of the yellow one if you force it just a little bit.

[ChrisEddie1401]

no way... I didn't force it dude haha :))

[douro20]

Is there only one solution to this puzzle?

[psisaza]

Its a nightmare

[Jgodman1324]

to fast make it slower

[Silent13Assassin]

Where can I find other puzzles like this?

[minmax6868]

Try livecube

[ripstikchild10]

[Novjunulo]

Shouldn't it start either all apart or all together?

[RaymondHamby2424]

[gmanspartan11]

[thejlcman]

nice video

i know a lil about animation but i know this would have taken a while.

kudos

[Sevenputput]

wow, this helped me understand it better.

[j3ngen]

wow, i use autodesk and autoCAD a lot and this would have taken me HOURS or work, great job man, kudos to you

[cubingidiot]

yout screwed the purple piece up

[zekopad]

you know about around 2:00 or 2:02 you can just rotate the yellow and it slides off then the others come quickly off after that like the purple would slide right off when you move it

[AfrinonM]

I was about to say that. It's much easier that way.

[gamemeister27]

I found a different solution....odd

[DaSalamence]

Crazy! I was deciding to buy one

[dmCraz]

thanks.. i managed to get this thing apart but I couldn't get it back together until I found this video

[Pizzscn]

My dad solved it on his first try... sheesh

[manicania]

thanks, i actually solved it because of this video, the instructions that come with it are terrible

[CheatWithMe0101]

[SantaClause49]

Your giving ideas for jigsaw...

[cyb3rphr33k]

this looks like satan's work...

[TheRammer314]

Awesome animation. Thanks.

Gotta have more puzzle!

[AltSuperSpider]

WTF

[MNFoxtrot]

I just woke up on the floor shaking... I started watching this video 11 days ago and don't remember watching it... My cat has starved to death....

[gangious]

why didnt you start with the starting position?

[181PYM]

good question.

but it encourages finishing on your own first, then seeking how the fuck to put it back together. and finally, trying to understand how it came apart in the first place

complex indeed...

[terrapin5]

this helps alot thanks!
