Question is: where is the ink now?

I knew it lol I didn’t know it

It’s what the Chinese used to write with back when.

I bet that paper tastes great.

I feel the same so much work goes into these intros yet I feel so few truly appreciate them

Yes

not only the intro, but this whole video is a work of art! truly astonishing.

Top quality at everything else than PUZZLE SOLVING!

they keep improving everytime, actual quality youtube videos

Sooooo, after 10 months this still has no replies?

ok

5:00 Yw people

peep his juul at about 22 mins in

I knoow 😂 i was also screaming LATIN at him. but he figured it out in the end, so it's all good

"oooh, TYPE of art... Painting! =D"..... *facepalms*

yeah there were a couple painful moments in this one... it's like come on dude especially with the hints it's not hard haha

@@addangel Same lol

Hahahaha

not to make fun of them, but, why all of the tattoos?

Haha

Heavily tatoooed *Magician*

@@soonersciencenerd383 because, why not? He had the money, ideas of what he wanted, and he wanted them. That’s valid enough, and he looks fucking awesome

Shelby Baby when did that happen?

When was that?

He once used his phone as a timer

Oof idk when that was 😅

nah it’s cuz they didn’t have timers in da Vinci’s time

LMAO 🤣 🤣 🤣

Same

If I were him I would have burned it to ash

I'd 1000% scream first

Im sure you wouldn't if you actually had to pay for that puzzle though, probably expensive

right? i would’ve thrown it across my room lol

Wise people are left handed

He also used codes messing up the words

Actually, at the time Da Vinci was alive nobody spoke latin in italy... so, the hint was not so correct

I'm glad you think it was only mildly because I thought it was very

When did he say the hints barely helped?? Chris specifically said that the clues should be mandatory reading for everyone trying the puzzle & that he wouldn't have gotten far without them.

@@medea27 he says it at 27:15.

It could be the Machine that Davinci, designed to manufacture Gold (AU) from Lead (PB) by compressing sunlight through Lenses, and other parts. As this is depicted in the movie "Hudson Hawk" Eddie The Hawk. performed by the famous U.S. actor B.Willis. If you remember the movie you could easily recognise the top secret mechanism. but it's not easy. :-)

@@alexandrebotev5038 nope, it's a lazer burner. You can stop and see its engraving a rune on a peice of wood

@@alexandrebotev5038 Lenses is an later invention, someone in Netherlands did that several hundreds of years later. That was the first time humans realize there was microscopic creatures in the water and so, and it started with single lenses in the beginning.

Yeah! It is. :)

I noticed that too!

It also shows he’s not doing KZfaq only for money

I didn’t have any adds Edit: I didn’t because I had yt red at the moment lol

I know I was shocked when there was no adds

That’s what I thought too actually.

sameee

That one was the most obvious of the clues presented but still required either knowing a dead language or looking up what "painting" is in a dead language. Having to turn to google isn't a great way to solve something.

@@ForeverLaxx That's true.

Look I’m Italian and I’ve studied Latin for 5 years. I have no idea how someone was supposed to get that puzzle without the hint. There should be something to make you think about the solution without using hints

he says the hints were necessary but the main times he needed them were because he wasn't using the suggested object and chose brute force over translating the runes

Found the same translation. Took so loong, he kept putting his fingers in the way!!

wow

I spent an hour on this, and came up with "FOLLOW THE ****R**, THEN *O**T THE W*N" just from seeing patterns and sheer guessing. After seeing what you came up with, I think the answer is supposed to be "follow the guiders 'THEY' point the way". The last runes in "They" and "Way" are the same, not different. Nice work!

@@jordanholley8146 yeah you were right, just looked back at the video, nice catch

ok

*oK*

ok

He also did it so not to smudge the ink

ok

Chill, it’s a puzzle

Yeah

It's like the price of a video game console or like a standard 40" TV. Not a loaf of bread for sure but it's nothing crazy. Pretty reasonable considering the amount of work put into it and the customization options.

@@patsayjack402 true true! I posted the comment before looking up the puzzle as more of a joke lol. But after I looked it up, I saw that it’s actually a very fair price for such a detailed puzzle

@@patsayjack402 some do cost a few hundred dollars or more, not everyone has money for that.

The sad part here is that these premium puzzles are often easier to solve than many of the simple puzzles. It's sort of like the press x to not die video games these days, expensive and flashy, but predictable and not much actual gameplay involved. Cheap puzzles that you can contemplate over for days have spoiled me I suppose.

To be fair, he was about to break the puzzle in half

He basically used it to double check the rules so I'm gonna give him a pass there

Well, it was two minutes for us, i guess he spend some more time with it ;)

Who needs hints when you have a _flammenwerfer?_

yeah he used the internet as always to get those sudden AH HA solves.

Did he do that so people couldn’t read it??

The Restoration of Dr Who possibly. I’ve also heard it may be due to being left handed, so would avoid smearing the ink and getting it on his hand. Could be a bit of both.

I was annoyed by that, I feel like it ruins the beautiful paper that came with it :/

Actually he was left handed and as most know writing left handed is very messy so he wrote backwards as to not make a mess of himself or smear his writing. Tho most do believe it was an act of secrecy so no one could steal his discoveries.

@@kasadilaman6122 being left handed doesn't make your writing messy it is controlled by a different hemisphere so it is a different architecture to the writing and can if properly taught (it isn't) be just as neat and of fine point. There is no actual correlation to left handedness and messiness, only in the way writing is taught. (Your pulling shit out your ass) Edit: while the real reason is in contestion it probably was just to be different, he was human you know.

@@Laachen I didn't say his handwriting was messy according to historians it was actually very neat but writing from left to right as a left handed person can prove to be difficult especially when working with ink this coming from someone who happens to be left handed. Plus historians have also declared that as a result of him being left handed he wrote backwards for those reasons

😂😂😂

What about that phone box thing?

Hazel Macaraig do you have a fetish for hard puzzles or what?

@@NoBounceForYeiden What kind of question is that? Lol.

I'd love to own one of these, but as with every puzzle I watch Chris solve, I hate that I become mesmerized and watch the video. I'd rather own a puzzle and solve it myself before watching someone solve it for me, because it then becomes nowhere near as fun.

That notebook was worth it

Ma'Liah Maddox yes everything just sounds like an off shoot of Latin!

nah, then he wouldn’t need the hints

The implication that someone then has to ‘solve’ him is terrifying

@@guywithknife well he needs the hints to help with his understanding of specific puzzles, which a lot of people *wouldn't * know. So with each puzzle that he uses hints on, he gets smarter

sounds like a cop-out excuse to me 😏

Chris gets harder.

Honestly you're not missing much. Without audio it's clearer when he keeps banging things in a hope of stumbling onto a solution.

You can put subtitles on yourself.

@@jamiecoburn6857 yeah, I'll just listen to the video and write out the subtitles myself, then apply them to the video. OH WAIT. I can't hear. That makes things rather difficult.

@@ThatOneKaya What he meant by that is you can turn on automated subtitles, on phone and pc, if you can't find Google how, I don't know how to explain but it works

Yikes that’s very childish to say... I didn’t realize there were 5yr olds on here

Not exactly. "Silent Book" is _Codex Silens_ or _Codex Silentus_ . The real puzzle here is what they meant with that name. Hypothesis 1. They messed with the grammar. In Latin, when you see a word that ends with -a usually is either a feminine singular or a neuter plural. When it ends with -ndus/nda/ndum it can be a gerundive (a future passive participle), a participle or a passive form. Henceforth _silenda_ is actually a verb that can be translated with "which is to be silent" or "which must be kept silent/not to be spoken about" or "which is to be silenced". Since adjectives in Latin basically come from participles, one can surmise that in medieval Latin existed an adjective _silendus_ even if it does not occur in ancient Latin. The main issue here is that _codex_ is a masculine singular, nominative case, so it must end with -us or, in its passive form, with -um (accusative) or _de_ + -o (ablative). Therefore, "The Book that have to be Silent" etc. should be translated as _Codex Silendus_ . Hypothesis 2. They were referring to something else. _Silenda_ is not declined along with _codex_ , but with an implicit nominative/accusative neuter plural or feminine singular. We can infer what this implicit term could be. If a neuter plural, then can be translated as "the things that have to be kept silent", while a nominative feminine singular doesn't make much sense here, unless it was intended in genitive case ( _silendae_ , "of the silent/not to speak about (woman)"), referring to Da Vinci's Mona Lisa. So we have 4 possible meanings intended: _The Silent Book_ (hypothetical or fictional medieval Latin with wrong grammar) _The Book that is to be kept silent/not to be spoken about/silenced_ (wrong grammar) _The Book of the woman one should not speak about_ (wrong grammar) _The Book of things that have to be kept unspoken_ (right grammar). < my fav guess so far.

@@rasendra4392 are you a teacher
