"Can I do it backwards? Yes, I can!" *proceeds to not do it backwards*

This is like Tower of Hanoi, in that there is a simple mechanical sequence to follow to solve it. BEGIN by labeling one side of each ring 0 and the other side 1. Then just count in binary. 6 rings = 2^6 = 64 different combos. If you don't keep track about where you are and where you've been, then it's like rolling a 64 sided die each time.

Love how the puzzle and the timer's UI match 👌

This one was cool. When i watch your videos in the winter I always get a cool comforting feeling like family together in a log cabin fireplace going and doing puzzles like these together. Appreciate your cool content.

Ring 3 and 4 have two notches making it have 4 positions instead of 2. That's why it kept being so close

Love you Chris!! Keep them coming! Super excited every time I see your notification pop up 😁😁😁

Seriously love these puzzles. I was honestly wishing I had the puzzle the whole time haha. I would like to see more definitely in this range of price. Thank you for the show

I love these puzzles!! As veiwers we can see each piece and go through it with you. Gread video😊

A simple yet challenging puzzle. Love all your videos. Take care.

I love these real simple looking ones and how difficult they actually become!

I have watched almost all of your videos and just amazed, for some reason I got this one right off! Sorry I screamed at you!

I like this one. Feels very mathematical, like you're picking which angles to add together to get the final notch to line up. Still it seems a little vulnerable to brute forcing

9:39 PTSD intensifies

love you're videos man keep it 💯

You can do this 💪. YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like all puzzles but I wouldn't mind seeing another one where you fit pieces in a frame 😊❤ Great video and awesome puzzle solver!

Others have pointed out a brute force method , but there is a mathematical way to solve this which may be more effective and faster, but takes some time to set up and understand. You can measure the minor arc angle on each disk from one notch to the next. For the ones with two notches, instead of measuring them normally, connect them together in both orientations, and measure the angle between the inner notch of the inner ring and outer notch of the outer ring for both (you only need to flip once to get both). Finally measure the total angle from the center to the outside of the frame. Set up an equation frame angle = angle 1 __ angle 2 __ [orientation one or orientation 2] __ angle 5 __ angle six This equation can and will be satisfied if you substitute either a plus or minus sign in each space, and will also tell you how to orient it. Let’s say you’re measuring from the inside to the out. The minor angle is measured clockwise, from inner left to outer right. If you have a plus sign, you orient the next notch in the sequence clockwise to the previous one, likewise if you have a minus sign orient it counterclockwise. This may seem complicated, but it’s basically the exact same problem with a more easily verifiable solution, and it’s easier to play around with different combinations since you don’t have to manually move and align the pieces every time. Doing it this way also has another great benefit, you can measure the amount of error from one solution, this error must be twice the angle created from one or more angles. So now you can simplify the problem even more by ruling out more potential solutions

Let's go!! Great puzzle. 😮Definitely was something different from the usual wooden. I love watching the many parts type of puzzle. The one with the spaceship coming out of the cabinet and all the different pieces of information with you being as a detective was astounding. I would love to see more of that type of long version puzzle

I felt like I was doing this last night with the fake log inserts in a gas fireplace(before breaking down and actually lookingat the directions)... 1 picture said there was 7 pieces we probably spent 10 minutes looking for a piece that didn't exisit

always love the yuu asaka puzzle vids :D

Such a great puzzle! And from the way it's made, yo ucan do this over and over again!

Thanks Chris! Cool looking puzzle.

"What a cool puzzle." You said it! Beautiful puzzle and great video!

Love these types of puzzles!

That was fun to watch! Thanks!

My favorite puzzle from him I have seen you do I would definitely buy this!

What a beautiful and deceptively hard puzzle - great video, great solve, Chris 🤘🙏

Great little puzzle Chris!

Tell me I'm not the only one who talks out loud to Chris while he's trying to solve these. hahahaha

Yuu always delivers with something special!

I love that such a simple looking puzzle is so difficult

One of those that you get lucky and solve it quickly, or stuck for ages. I was the latter. The pond 12 and Traffic 15 are very good, and worth getting. I love all his puzzles

Seeing that you had the solution at like...10:08 (or at least it looked like you did), and you didn't even try putting the last piece on to see...took it apart instead 😫😭

I love Yuu Asakas puzzles. I only own the ice 9 but it’s so much fun to solve every couple of months. I have to get more 😁 this might have to be my next one!

Dude as a guy who loves cards and is a avid card collector of the strange and unique your cards are awesome even though I have not bought a pack yet the pictures I've seen of them look amazing.

Thank you for doing this one!

"Hopefully we can smash this in under 10 minutes" But the video is like 20 minutes? Well done Chris! I was stumped all the way to the end 😂

Start from the outside fam

Nice to see you doing the puzzles again.

Those clicks when the pieces fall in place are so satisfying.

Yo Chris, Love what you do, long time sub! Also love the crisp sound of the new mic. You inspire me to be creative and hope you can hold on to positivity and hope. 🙏🏼

I feel your pain, Chris. I suspect you still managed to solve it faster than I would have done!

Start with the big piece and work your way in chris.

Amazing, it looked so simple at the beginning..and I'm surprised how it went

Very relaxing 10/10.

I love these deceptively simple puzzles

At about 8 minutes I figured out how to do it. Each ring will change the outer ring by a set angle when flipped. If you take note of how much each ring causes the angle to change then when you get to the end you can say, for instance, "I'm about 22 degrees off. This ring changes the angle by 17 degrees and this other one changes it by 5. Maybe if I flip them together I'll get the right solution."

When a puzzle cannot be broken with brute force to take short cuts, Chris struggles 😂

Deceptive little bugger. Loved it.

So close with that third ring in so many times. Cool!

Back at it again.

These are the beat puzzles!!

You should do a live where you're doing a puzzle or something and we can comment to help you. That would be iconic.

This was a cool puzzle 👍

I would have started by placing the outer and the inner rings and work from there, place them in a position and try to place the others, if you cant than move the inner one and retry, if again you fail then move the outer ring and retry, it should take only 4 tries this way... man now I wanna buy this puzzle so bad

nice one!

Always want a future chris video or a explanation to who the watcher was.

That was a blast

Solving this puzzle is a lot like finding the code to a combination lock by trying every number.

Mr Ramsay, you have the patience of a saint. Bravo!

That was so entertaining

we need a "so close" counter :)

This would be the best Squid Game Challenge

Yuu Asaka is a legend

This puzzle has 2^6 configurations and you can easily iterate over them... You can also count (approximate) angle which each circle and than just assign + or - till your result is equal to 90°

This puzzle got me fooled right at the beginning looked like it's gonna be over in about 20 sec.

I was going to get my drill too just put another natche on that last one

There's only four possible configurations that needed to be tested, two for the central circle, two for the outer layer. You position the outer layer and the central layer, and try to match the other discs to it. Not working, you just change one of the outer or central circles positions and try again. A+A, A+B, B+A and B+B. All the other permutations of the other circles have to be tested, but you have at least a far more efficient method..🎉

So close, and yet, so far away! 🤣

Chris, do you keep focusing on using the center first as a way of just building content for the video?

What I would do is put the outer ring on, then the inner ring, then kinda just mess around the middle still it works while occasionally flipping the outer and or middle

Please let me know if this is solved like the groove in a vinyl record. Start on the outside and the next ring is put in place by spinning it in a clockwise direction. Until they fall in place.

I feel like outside in would be the best way to go.

Your a good actor btw

I think its funny how you said "can I work backwards", and then worked backwards, but outside of the frame.

This puzzle reminds me of the eye doctor 😂

This was a tough one

Surly the two inside outside you only need to change once each to get correct then there are only 3 parts that need to be moved the most. XxX

I love your brain most times 😂

I'm glad I'm not the only one the wondered why he didn't start with the outside ring

did you try starting from the outside and working your way in

I love how he never once tries to turn the big outer one around but keeps it in the same position..

Start the outside piece, then the inside piece and bridge the gap.

Don't! Touch! The Grooves!!! 😄

The thing is u could hav placed the smallest ones and largest one first, then ajust the rest middle pieces accordingly... it won't take time

Immediate buy on this puzzle

3:43 actually i think id put the outer and inner in one position and try backwards

Have you tried the room 5? Is on vr

If it was me which it’s not and easily said but I would’ve started with outside ring first and made my way to the center

The outer two only have two choices then the oranges you try the different options

Just gotta try all 64 options in sequence

Simplicity is the hardest thing to achieve

This could have been a short, instead we all have aneurysms

The struggle that transmission mechanics face 😅

I would start with the outside ring and move inwards

Start from the outside! There’s only one way the outer piece can fit, so it then becomes a five piece puzzle! 🤦🏻‍♂️ lol, so frustrating to watch! 😂😂😂

I want to see you finish the unfinished puzzles

Its like a Record, you start from the outside and go inwards

My solution would be to try and cut down on variables. I would pair up the two outside rings and the two inside rings knowing they could be flip. Then fiddle with the two middle rings. If the two middle rings dont fit then flip the inside or outside rings. repeat the process then flip the other set of rings and fiddle with the middle rings.

I would have started from the outside ring moving inward.

wow this puzzle really shows the difference in how the western vs eastern mind works :D
