Scale of 1-10 what do you rate this puzzle in terms of originality?

I use these videos to fall asleep. Not in a rude way his voice is just soothing and I'm comforted

The effort that Chris puts into his intros is unbelievable.

Chris: *talking* Me: my brain “Theres a piece that fits right there try it”

Chris: “What do u guys do when u watch my vids?” Me: Casually eating leftover chicken tenders from my work in bed at 1:00am

"I hope you're not JUST watching this video" * Me sitting in parked car watching video feeling attacked *

The great thing about this hard puzzle is the fact that the puzzle gives the solver hope for a moment and then ruined it

It’s as if this is a two step puzzle. You have to come to the first conclusion, or solve it the first way to where there’s the 4 ugly pieces remaining, to eventually find the real solution. To be able to come up with and design that is unreal. I’d love to see more jigsaw puzzles that require “steps” like that. Anyway, well done!

"You can screenshot this and read it yourself" The letter: has the smallest writing known to man

Chris 4:30 into the video: “This is gonna be a breeze!” Me: *notices there’s still 18 minutes left in the video*

Chris: let me know what you are doing while watching these videos! Me: * is half asleep ending the night with Chris’s puzzle solving mastery *

"I wanna know what you're doing while watching..." "I wouldn't think you're just watching me solve" no you've got it wrong. It's 3 am and I have a history exam at 8. I'm watching you solve all these puzzles in the dark. You think too highly of me, thinking I'm doing other things.

Ngl, got frustrated when you took the puzzle apart and Im yelling "flip the piece! Jus flip it! I see where it goes!"😆

Chris: That one has to go there Narrator: It did not, in fact, go there.

Chris: "Hey, that's a fit!" Me: "No it's not, there's a little gap." Narrator: "It was not, in fact, a fit." Me: "SEE."

This is one of the most brilliantly designed jigsaw puzzles I've seen. I would love to see a video of the designer actually take us through his thought process while he designed this 😍😍

“we’re not gonna sit here and stare at a wrong answer all day” just contradicted my entire existence

The fact that this is literally called 'the ugly 4' and there are exactly 4 UGLY pieces left when you try to solve it the reasonable way genuinely terrifies me and I'm not kidding

Has anyone noticed that the "true corner piece" actually resemble an angel? with wings and everything? If so, you had a cool hint from the very beginning ;) surely someone spot it already! nice puzzle!!

I use these videos now when I'm working on modding/refurbishing retro game systems. Tonight was a Dreamcast with Black-Dog Tech's HDMI mod and other goodies. These videos are great but I'm starting to watch more of the playing card videos and practicing from the tutorials. It's great!

I have this video on while doing my homework I find it very relaxing. I also love the sound of the pieces clicking together.

What I’m doing while watching: Shouting in my head “try that one!” Good video

The cool thing is that the odd peice in the bottom looks like a angel, tge ones the creator claimed that inspired him

I love watching them and put these videos on at night when I want to relax or calm down chrises voice is just so calming

yeah i just watch your videos while i’m watching them. it’s infinite fun to watch your thoughts branch and expand as you solve

I watched the whole thing all the way through without doing anything else.

Your intro is so great... I struggle to my focus right.

I cook, try to nap and get small online errands done while listening/watching your videos. I find your voice and the background music very relaxing.

"what do you do while watching these videos?" Me... Yelling " turn that piece over! Stop using it the same way every time!"... Yeah, just background noise

The music stopping when he makes a breakthrough or is about to solve a puzzle hits different y'all. I swear Chris invented a whole new emotion.

What do you do during these videos? “Me laying in bed when I should be sleeping because I have work in morning”

Its truly a mind boggling puzzle. So many variables and ways they can fit. Thank you Chris for sharing a mind blower.

your videos and voice is very calming, and right now i’m trying to fall asleep. the length of your videos are also a plus, because i don’t have to change the video every five minutes.

I'm actually watching and saying "the left one, get the left one. No, the OTHER one! Turn the piece!"

"Not gonna sit here and stare at a wrong answer all day" You perfectly summarized the mentality that separates good puzzle solvers from bad ones

I watch your videos to calm me down. Because at the end it’s always so satisfying when you complete the puzzle:)

Just chilling on my couch. I like actually watching the process. Thanks for sharing

Chris: "6 pieces left" Puzzle: "Only 5 spots baby" Chris: *Confused screaming*

I stare intently and continuously at the screen never blinking for the entire video for fear of missing even one fraction of a moment of this mesmerizing display of critical thinking and problem-solving skills. I am also extremely high.

Definitely on my phone in bed about to go to sleep. I find the puzzles quite relaxing and love your excitement.

I watch you on my phone when I need away from studying time. It’s like therapy to me. Love you videos!

0:59: "you can screenshot it and read it yourself" **cries in 144p**

I am currently working on the Apollo 11 Lunar Lander LEGO set while this plays in the background.

I’m just pretty impressed that these jigsaw puzzles were designed that many pieces can “fit together” while being wrong. Like you solve it traditionally until you hit the designed roadblock.

Very well put together video, never thought I'd he so hyped to see a puzzle 🧩

Chris has done a few of these weird jigsaws which haven't had a 'normal' shaped solution; yet at the beginning he still assumes that they will.

Chris: what are you guys doing rn Me sitting in my closet watching this because my closets surprisingly comfortable to sit in

i typically watch your videos when i’m tired and can’t fall asleep, you have that calming voice that helps relax me

I watch these videos a lot. I either fully watch or just listen to it to calm my anxiety and will repeatedly glance up from my phone. You have a soothing voice.

I think one of my favorite, let’s call it “design elements”, to this puzzle is that doing it the standard way gave you a hint on how to solve it the right way. First it subverts your expectations and by doing so gives you a hint towards the correct answer, and I think that is such an amazing idea.

use these videos to chill, usually while chatting or writing stuff for tabletop rpgs.

i usually watch these videos while i’m doing something, currently making breakfast or while i’m cleaning the house, journaling, playing cards games on my ipad etc sometimes use these videos to fall asleep just cause your voice is super soothing. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm usually in bed with my phone, all snuggled under the comforter and about a half hour away from sleepytime. I find your puzzle vids satisfying, something accomplished at the end of the day. After your puzzles, I put on some sleep talk to drift off to.

I’m eating a quesadilla, love to watch people struggling while I’m having a good time

I watch your puzzle videos on my ride to work and from work!! Let’s go!!!

Just chillin watching u solve it.

I see the whole thing without doing anything else :) but fr they help me relax to no end. Before going to sleep, instead of going on social media, I come to this channel bc it helps me take my mind off of whatever stress I may have going on. So... thanks!

I’m enjoying a glass of beer wile watching. Cheers.

my partner enjoys puzzles, thanks for this video. I have just ordered one of these to NZ for his birthday so I'm looking forward to giving this to him. I think the underlying 'moral' you could say is what I like about this. The ugly 4 are what give you the impetus to really start solving the problem. Our mindset makes us choose what we assume MUST be the starting pieces - which is our bias. It's only until we look at the 'imperfections' and build on those to solve the puzzle. It's actually a beautiful lesson.

Literally laying down watching you solve it, per usual 💯😂🔥

4:59 Im on the damn toilet, thinking about life

Just laying in bed when there’s nothing else to do. Watching you solve puzzles is really relaxing. 🧩

loved this one!! *i play sudoku while i watch your videos*

I really like learning to this while doing homework. I get distracted a lot and this weirdly helps me focus on my work. Plus you have a very smoothing voice that keeps me calm

Thirty minutes into every jigsaw puzzle - “that piece HAS to go there!”

*places final puzzle piece* Brain: rub it Me: why Brain: you gotta

Normally when I watch you I use it as a stress reliever, and im usually playing a game on the side and back track when i hear something i want to see, but your videos are always comforting to me

I use these videos to fall asleep and as background noise when I craft sometimes. They are relaxing

This puzzle is ingenious, where the solution lies within the expected failure most may end up with.

What I'm doing while watching: I'm programming a nano-satellite that measures neutrino time of flight and reports it back down to us on the ground. I got brought into the project late and have like a week to do a few months worth of work. Your content is the perfect balance of background and interesting and it actually helps my productivity! Thanks for the content!

sometimes I stop and watch but I watch a lot of videos while drawing. Helps having part of my brain focussed on something else.

Since there are a lot of comments about not being able to read the letter, let me help PAGE 1 Okay this will sound pretty mystic, but I really believe that angels created this jigsaw puzzle. One day, while I was experimenting with deep meditation in which there is a thin line between reality and hypnosis, from somewhere deep in my mind, I hear a voice that speaks to me loud and clear. I was fully aware of everything, but this voice wasn't mine - it looks like I am accompanied by some beings. These beings introduce themselves as "beings of light" it was just a funny hypnotic moment for me, so I decided to go with the flow and listen to what "they" had to say. They did have a lot to say, and I spent six full hours listening to them. Everything they told me was pretty exciting and made serious sense, at least to me. After 6 hours of listening to what they had to say, my thoughts popped out "Bozo, have you become so crazy that you believe you are listening to some beings of light?" (my name is Bozo) At this moment, accompanied by this thought, I understood clearly the difference between what thoughts are mine and which words are theirs. As I was trying to gather my thoughts, they already provided me with the answer, "if you are the one who imagined us, PAGE 2 Then you won't be able to find us on Google." and that made a lot of sense to me, as I have never heard of "beings of light" before. I immediately jumped out of the meditative state I was in, and sat in front of my computer to search for the term "beings of light" on Google. Honestly, I didn't believe that I would find anything, but Google showed me 1[?] 18000 results related to these terms (in Croatian language) I was pretty confused, but the real shock started when I opened the first article on Google and found almost all of those things [they] have been telling me about for the last six hours. Even I had a hard time believing that I had been talking to these beings but the rational mind of mine couldn't accept the fact that all of this is just a coincidence. I couldn't have made up all of these details that I now also found on the internet. And this is not the end of this story. This happened to me almost three years ago - in October 2017 and they are still with me to this day. It is a strange relationship I have with these beings of light, cause they are the most "hardcore" teachers I ever had. And this jigsaw puzzle is one of things they inspired in me.

While I'm watching this, it's 1:32am and I'm procrastinating on my english assignment :) Most of your videos I do just play in the background, but this is the first one I felt like I was solving the puzzle with you. I was actually pointing at my screen going "that one, that piece goes there!" lol, super fun video!

I watch your videos during work (tech support). Your genuine enthusiasm and calming voice help me put up with all the client crap.

All I'm doing is watching you solve it, while drinking my morning coffee. Your videos are the new-morning paper for me. Cheers mate.

Imma be real with you Chris. You're my background music for replying to emails at work

Chris: I like to imagine you not just watching the video and doing something else. Me, laying in bed intently watching with my full attention: 👁👄👁

I’m usually watching or more like listening to your videos for falling asleep cause your voice is so comforting

Watch while getting ready for bed between the puzzle and your voice puts me out. Lol. Thank you

These intros man,,,,,,,,,,*speechless gasps*😭❤️👍

I watch this while eating, i just like having something to watch when i'm eating plus your videos are very entertaining.

I like to watch these at night to relax before going to sleep. Your voice is very soothing and I start dozing off thinking about possible puzzle solutions (resulting in some wacky dreams sometimes). ❤

I have watch you while im at work to help keep my mind focused

Oh man! Called the “ugly 4” and the decoy leaves the odd pieces. Genius

“I imagine you’re not just watching me solve a puzzle, and are doing something productive while playing this video in the background” Me: *lying in bed, watching the video while doing nothing else* *attacked by chris*

I always watch you videos cause they calm me down and the puzzles are pretty cool

i love watching these while i do my homework!

After all you should be called the “King of Puzzles”

4:49 Uuhhh.... _USUSALLY_ I’m working on schoolwork or building something in a video game, but I just so happen to be on the toilet rn.

I use these videos to cure my ADHD, and to see a satisfying solution from the puzzles, whilst still having tiny hints of frustration with me seeing some ways you could have solved the puzzle so much easier, and you not seeing it and putting another peace in that spot. Either way, it still helps me gain focus, and really settle down all together!! So, thank you for making these wonderful videos!!😊😊

9 times out of 10 I'm watching the video all the way. The puzzles are so interesting to watch being solved.

Chris at 3:44 : "this side piece could end up being in the middle" Also Chris: *does all side pieces first*

4:31 Chris: "This is gonna be a breeze!" Me: "Oh honey."

ive been listening to puzzle videos whilst cooking!

Gotta love these jigsaw puzzles.... So deceptively difficult! The first one i saw you do it was ‘Pftsh... that’s gonna be cake!’ And time and time again I’m proved wrong, and i love it! Such a satisfying solve and so many curve balls. And to do it in 38min is crazy! I tip my hat to you good sir! Also amazing intro as allwaayys ❤️

what a journey i just went on holy shit. the fact that its designed to have a very specific WRONG answer that he KNOWS you'll come to first blows my mind. i just sit and watch these. i like to follow along and look for the next step as you are.

Chris: I hope you're not just watching this video. Me: lying in bed, procrastinating my homework

When Chris puts the peace on the bored at 7:09 there is another peace that would fit there

I love this puzzle!!! FREEKING AWESOMENESS!!!

i usually watch these videos whilst going to bed because 1.) your voice is really calming and 2 i find the act of solving a puzzle quite the brain workout because i'm trying to solve it alongside you it makes me quite sleepy, so i usually watch these and then if i fall asleep halfway through one the first thing i do in the morning is rewatch so i can actually see you solve the puzzle! these videos are i guess the equivalent of other peoples asmr to me
