Did you try to solve this puzzle yourself? How quickly did you solve it and what strategies did you use?

@mediumjohnsilver 2 жыл бұрын

Strategy: Construct squares. Number the edges +1 through +4 for the outies, and -1 through -4 for the innies.

@lppsr64 2 жыл бұрын

Hello, I solved it in approximatively 40 minutes. For the strategie, I started like you, sorting the different shapes and counting how many "in" and "out" there is. But the result wasn't really helpfull, so I figure I should start somewhere. So I looked at a piece with the best chance to don't be a corner (for me it was the one with two club and two diamonds). After that I can't really explain how I solved it.

@liammccoy7502 2 жыл бұрын

I cut out paper squares and colored the edges (then realized I did need ins and outs for the correct solution and cut square ins and outs and color coded them) did not have time to solve it, looked at the top left and right corner of your solution to get those pieces then did the rest

i have 2 colors of this one also one of the "another tough puzzle" I found you have to watch the sides and make sure they really line up on the grid

@erinhamerla3395 2 жыл бұрын

I finished in about 10min total with a mixture of logic and luck. I made the same table as Karen to find some edge information (spades had 5 outs but only 3 ins, so 2 spade outs must on the edge). I thought it would be easiest to determine the corner pieces first. There was one piece that had 2 spade outs, so I tried that in the corner. It just so happened that the first piece I tried was the correct placement. I finished the puzzle by finding which of the club outs connected to the corner piece since that was only 3 possibilities.

I constructed squares and numbered the edges +1 through +4 for the outies, and -1 through -4 for the innies. I also lettered the pieces A though I to keep track of my trials on note paper. Like you, I discovered the most limiting integers (-1 and +4 in my case, just three of each). One piece had both -1 and +4. I started with that as my center, then systematically branched out attempts, eliminating connections as I came to dead ends. My time for this TOUGH puzzle was a bit over an hour.

I think the reason Karen didn't find this puzzle satisfying is because she is just so used to brute forcing puzzles, and that happened to be the way you solve this one. Definitely not as tough as it was advertised though.

@catinabox3048 7 ай бұрын

She didn't find the puzzle satisfying because she doesn't feel like she actually solved it. She feels like she stumbled across the solution randomly, which is probably 50% true. Even with normal jigsaw puzzles, she uses logic to pick out pieces and then feels a sense of accomplishment when she finishes the puzzle.

@bkackman 2 жыл бұрын

With 300,000 and no obvious "trick," I'm surprised you were able to solve this tough puzzle as quickly as you did. And I get why, without the discovery of a "trick," it was somewhat unsatisfying. But fun as ever to watch and listen to your try!

@zachrodan7543 Жыл бұрын

the number of possible combinations being over 300000 is meaningless, frankly. since none of those combinations use all 9 pieces in a 3x3 square, an argument could be made for them to instead say there are "over 6 trillion combinations"

@stuartmcconnachie Жыл бұрын

@@zachrodan7543 Number of unique arrangements of 9 things is 9! = 362,880, which is I guess where they got their 300,000 figure from (although they haven’t taken into account rotations). But you are right it is meaningless since a lot of those combinations do not fit together correctly, so you’d only ever start by trying pieces that *do* fit. So you have a much better chance of finding the solution since you don’t try every combination, only ones that appear as though they may at least be plausible. Ultimately you get to an almost correct solution with 8 pieces, as Karen did, and then chase pieces around the board until the last piece fits. And that 8 piece solutions was itself based an at least vaguely plausible 7 piece solution and so on.

Wait I just stumbled across this video, but this unlocked a vivid memory! I used to play with this at my grandma’s apartment when I was little! It was really fun to me because I loved puzzles and also playing cards so having the suits be the ins and outs was a neat idea. It definitely could be tough putting it together to get the intended solution, but it was fun to just recombine the pieces in whatever ways I could find. Sadly, I played with it so much that eventually the outs started breaking off.

It's nine pieces, and the pictures overlap the edges where one half of the picture is on one piece and the other half is on the adjoining piece. It's a bit of a challenge to solve it, which I usually do through trial and error. Speaking of tough puzzles, I finished my Van Gogh puzzle a couple days ago, and I'm going to be recording my own puzzle video later today.

Yeah this was *tough* for me! I did pause, thank you! I cut simple puzzle piece shapes with semicircular knobs and I colour coded the ins and outs with marker. Then I counted the ins and outs shapes and decided that the clubs definitely need to have at least three outs on the edge. After a bit of random tries, I numbered the pieces. I numbered the piece with two clubs ins as "1" and just tried all possible combinations in order. Weirdly I didn't find the solution while I was trying with 1 in the corner although I went through all the pieces (except the one correct combo I missed... obviously), but I found the solution while piece 2 was the start corner. Piece 2 turned out to be the opposite corner from piece 1. In total it took me 1h02'. So although I should have paid more attention, I think numbering them was a good strategy to keep track of the ones I tried. I hope this makes sense. And a propos of *tough* puzzles... I bought the "world's most difficult" with cats and I'm absolutely DREADING it.

I pause the video to do it! I am not sure about my time, I think about an half hour, maybe a little bit more. My final strategy was to put 4 piece in a square and try all the solution around with the other pieces until I was sure the square was not right. And then trying with an other square. I can say that it works even if it still tough :P

Great strategy!

I actually own that puzzle (a friend gifted it to me) and I solved it, fairly quickly, but that was a few years ago, and I didn't time myself. =) I remember that it was tough.

Oh my god! I live in New Zealand, and I went on a trip to my boyfriend's home town and on an op shop shopping spree we found this same puzzle! This is amazing! I cant believe we have the same puzzle. Im going to save this video and time myself to compare later
