I'll post videos like this from time to time, but for weekly puzzles check out my puzzle only channel: goo.gl/yDfrRe

I seriously hate this puzzle so much. I managed to get in a such locked state that I can't move or I don't know how to but it back to the original position. It drives me crazy.

I've solved many of the hardest Hanayama puzzles (Level 6), but for some reason I've struggled with this one. I don't give up easily, so I'm not going to watch you video just yet, but I still gave it a thumbs up.

This hanayama puzzle was a bit too much for me, I got it apart but could not put it back together. I looked at some video solutions on youtube and most of them are really hard or impossible to follow. This quartet solution video is IMHO the best available, thank you

Managed to do this one yesterday. 20 minutes to dissemble but 90 minutes to reassemble. I found reassembling it really tough, you've done a good job of walking through it in a simple way here.

Wow amazing. I’m gonna have to watch this multiple times.

I somehow disassembled and reassembled it without instructions once, then disassembled it againn but was absolutely unable to reassemble it a second time - it drove me insane. Thanks for the solve.

It really blows my mind that someone can look at a puzzle like this a figure out a solution to it all on their own. I can solve q few different rubix cubes, but that's bc I learned the algorithms. It's crazy for me to think that someone sat down one day and figured out those algorithms for the first time all in their head. I spent a long time analyzing this puzzle, moving one piece and seeing how that configuration restricted or enabled the movement of other pieces, really trying to make sense of it. But my brain was no match for it and after watching this tutorial I realized I would have never figured it out. For me this was a good lesson in mental limitations. I like to think of myself as an intelligent person and I excell in many different aspects of life that other people find hard, but in the realm of intuitively solving 3 dimensional puzzles like this I have no inherent skill whatsoever. And that's ok, it's a humbling experience

I tried since two weeks WITH a lot of solution videos - nobody explained it so that I could solve the reassemble. THIS video brought the breakthrough - now I can assemble it again. THANK YOU!

I DID IT! Omg it took me like a solid week of messing with this thing every day. Thanks for explaining the steps!

This is the only 100% maddening Hanayama puzzle. Thank you!

I figured this out on my own before watching your video. And I still have no idea how. This puzzle is torture. Lol. I watched your video to learn it better. And man it has sooo many steps for such a simple design.

With your help it is the first time I got the quartet back together after solving it! Thanks!

Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou, been at this puzzle on and off for 2 years and could NEVER solve it, I gave in and decided to watch a video and finally got it back together 😅🙏🏻

I bought this puzzle around Christmas and within a day or so of fiddling with it, I somehow got it to come apart. I only just now had to watch your video to figure out how to put it back together. I never would have figured it out, my god this one is ridiculous. Thanks!

0:12 solution 4:12 putting it back

Found this puzzle in an old box. thanks for showing me how to put it back together in its original config. good video.

omfg thank u so much man for the assembling part, it was somewhat longer than others, but with easy enough twists and turns that I was able to assemble mine without breaking it or soaking it in oil

I got 3min to disassembly and 13 min assembly 💪 no tips/tutorials didn't expect it to go that fast, tried anothet puzzle which was noted as less hard, and couldn't solve. The star with spiral

Thank you. I solved it in about 1/2 hr. But needed to refer to your video to reassemble. Probably the most difficult Hanayama level 6 to date to reassemble that I’ve done.

I'm here because I'm an absolute failure.

Eric Buffington, thank you so much. Great video that make buyer of this puzzle sleep.

Best video for this puzzle. Thank you

This puzzle took me approximately 12 minutes to take it apart. Classic hanyama in the sense of 'if it doesn't move easy it shouldn't' And then I spent three days trying to figure out how to reassemble before giving up

I literally just subbed and turned on notifications and after a while I got this vid.... What a coincidence!

Sir, Thank you very much!!!!!

How do you keep your peices well without chipping or scratching them? I really don't use force at all and they still chip or scratch occasionally.

A little help here? I have the quartet couple in the "normal"/starting position, whereas the Hanayama are rotated 90 degrees. I can't go back to starting position for both couples.

thanks for the help

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

thanks to you. i finally fixed my puzzle

Thank you. Now I can get some sleep. This kept me awake at night, because I was not able to put it back together.

Great job. I watched several others. They sucked. You made it doable.

Thank you

I found this puzzle the other day when I was volunteering at goodwill and got it for free csuse they were gonna throw it away.. I have almost all of the Hanayama puzzles and needed this one.. but I haven't tried it yet but looks lkke a pain in the a$$

they changed the location of the stamps so ... you can't go by stamp orientation alone. It only marks the pairs.

In the last configuration in the bonus section, you forgot to spin it :) it comes apart neatly

The thickness of pieces appear to be same thickness,they are NOT it is a spatial illusion once you realize that there are no tricks! Very easy! LIKE A Boss! Nd is that all its got?

I can't manage to turn the hanamaya peice in the last step, is there a trick to it?

I eventually got the puzzle disassembled, but only thanks to your tutorial I got it back together. This is a very hard puzzle and I love everything about it. It feels great to handle, a very well designed piece! Thanks for the vid, it was very useful and not hard to follow. Well done.

The 'wonderwoman' config reminds me of the Weyland-Yutani Corp image heh.

Cool!! Which one is your number 1 favorite?

Today I solved it, I disassembled it in leas then an hour, but it took a week to assemble it. But I did it, without any help or instructions!

me over here throwing it at the wall trying to break it then counting it being broken and a success😂

I cant get past the first rotation it just locks

thank you! i sorted it out, but just could connect it 😂

managed to take it apart without even really thinking about it, but putting it back together is frustrating me so much

I was able to unlock it in minutes, but failed to put it back together. Even I’m watching this video I have to pause several times to make sure I follow it correctly.

Not even the first move works for me. And I followed exact orders. What is happening?

Mine are now two trapezoids and they are completely stuck and I can’t get them back

I some how got it into it's "initial state" but with un-matching pairs together

This is ok, but I have a much easier way of doing this. Using the Hanayama pair as a “base” and moving the quarter pair around and then apart. Sliding the side of the one quarter part takes a lot of practice though.

Perfect way to lose angry thoughts

I found a third pattern with bonus one.

2:28 how the hell are you able to make it appear that simple? Mine won't rotate in this step.

Mine is in a completely locked state right now. Does anyone have tips

Mine is just shot got it done then tried to reasonable on it is so messed up

To be honest I don't know why I'm here this just looks interesting

Swastika 9:39

What is your number one hanayama puzzle?

I got mine tangled and I can’t get it out now

Cool but where's the gigantic 19 year old mob boss?

Even with the video I can't do this. The first time I messed around with it for about 2 hours, I gave up and came back a couple days later, then just a few minutes I had a piece come off. I wasn't even happy, the one thing which I can say is something about this one just isn't satisfying. Not hating on this video. But that's my opinion.

Shouldn’t have to force it... challenge accepted

my hanayama peice doesnt rotate but my quartet one does im so confused

I followed it exactly, accidentally had one piece in the wrong position, now it’s stuck forever.

got this at a white elephant party but i’m an idiot thx for this

I've tried for days and can't get it back together.

What's your 1st favorite hanayama puzzle?

I’ve been stuck on how to put this bastard together for weeks. I got it apart but putting it together is impossible. I watched this video and still don’t get it.

I got it apart in 3 minutes, but I can’t get it back together 🤣

3 years later : still "giggling" the piece because IT WONT GO IN

Solved this by only hearing

Did you really figure this out on your own?

I think we got a fake, the paint started crumbling off and it was a mess

i feel like the only way to solve this puzzle is accidently

Even though i follow the directions, I still struggle every time. Tried to learn the whole recipe but i f up in some magical way and I'm so f-ing angry XD

Eric: Here we have a swastika it kinda looks like the Wonder Women symbol

Mai to Haryana padh kar yaha aa gaya

3min to dissemble 60min later still not able to reassemble....

I can solve this easy, have been able to for years, but I hate it more than almost all of the hanayama puzzles: There is nothing “puzzle” about it, you just jam together the pieces a bunch of times until it comes apart. The solution should be hard, but simple, but the quartet is hard, and super complicated. That is why I hate it.

🤦‍♂️ I can’t put it back together, this is so frustrating!

Who else is here bcuz of the tic tac toe master

Wow I must be a different type of stupid. Even with the video solution I still can’t get it back together

Not an easy solution if you continue to move pieces too quickly without pausing with close ups. Also, my puzzle has 2 pieces each marked quartet and one piece Hanayama. So when you refer to the quartet piece and move and rotate 15 times in 10 seconds I don’t know where the heck I’m supposed to be!! LoL.

I’ve tangled mine so bad I don’t think it’s even solvable

Reassembly is the hardest. Your solution is ridiculous in comparison to this: "Quartet puzzle by Hanayama SOLVED. Easiest solution + 2 different solutions" When I found this one I about crapped myself. In relation to this reassembly it is 1000 Times simpler. Sorry for being a critic but I stumbled onto a reassembly myself so I knew there had to be something just a bit simpler than your solution. It's when I was trying to reassemble it the 2nd time that I decided to look up a few videos.

yeah.. see.. thing is.. My pieces don't do that..?

Ayo the last one tho 🤨

Your tone of voice and vague labeling of corners is giving me an aneurysm

I'm pissed. 20 minutes with tutorial and I'm more messed up than ever. I hate this puzzle with a passion

Расскажите на русском языке, пожалуйста ❓🙂.. Please!!!

учи русский, весь мир уже говорит на русском!

So we’re just gonna ignore your subliminal swastika at 9:38? Lol

your reassembly is soooooooo confusing....

Not helpful at all

these instructions suck. I'll be making a 100X more simplified version
