Here's a mystifying puzzle to ponder over. Happy Friday everyone!

A nice geometric "puzzle". As he adds each piece, the area increases slightly, but is spread across the whole square per se. The more pieces he adds, the smaller the gap between each piece is, so there is a difference, but it's hard to see with the naked eye. That being said, he adds a fun little misdirection at the end. You'll notice he only shakes the square at the end because if he did that before, when the area was smaller, the spectator might notice that it shakes ever so slightly due to the gaps. TL;DR The pieces don't initially fill the whole black frame perfectly. The pieces add more area until it finally closes the gap between all pieces.

Initially there's some space between pieces. As he adds more pieces everything is more tightly packed. Still cool that someone made an actual puzzle out of the chocolate bar trick picture from so many years ago

Loved this video! I really like the new changes you've made to the channel and I'm really enjoying it! Keep up the good work❤️

Love your vids man!

This is like this infinite chocolate trick!

There are heaps of these videos. And yours is the best.

When you add another piece the area of the rectangle changes but its width remains the same, so every time you add one piece the height of the rectangle slightly increases. The first time you tryt o fit it into the frame its not as tight as the last time you do it.

Great videos and I love Chris Ramsay’s puzzle videos I like that you are doing puzzles now

The 2 bottom small pieces are the same size as the pieces you added. They started length wise and ended width wise making the 2 added pieces the same size.

Brilliant fantastic puzzle I've ever seen.

I think it's a combination of two tricks, the firs one is that in the box everything looks neat, because the edges of the square are not seen and I think you can move the lower part a bit to make it look better. The second trick is that the space from top to bottom gets more with each piece and because of that he has to leave little gaps inbetween some pieces. He only moves it around in the end, and that is because we are meant to believe that the first step is a little one and the actual trick comes in from the second to the third one, so we overlook the second image, which actually is the one with the secret hidden inside itself.

Man that’s such mind blowing trick! Will definitely get one some day ✌️👌

Great video liked it.Big 52kards and Chris Ramsay fan.

Its great to see people so puzzled about this in the comments 😉

cool shapes asad!

Notice that when he removes the first piece, he moves it down enough to get his finger on the edge. By the time he adds the other two pieces, that space is gone.

There was more space before he added more pieces into the frame, as you can tell in the beginning he was able to take them out with his fingers which proves that there is some sort of space in between the figure and the frame. The added figures add to the area so slightly it can barely be seen by just the naked eye.

Its like that unlimited chocolate thing. It gets bigger but not drastically, only a little throughout the sides. As for the frame, the black part goes over the part of the puzzle that extends out.

The reason is the I have noticed the initial set has a bit of gaps that is not easily seen. Adding and rearranging the piece only serve to close those gaps.

So cool! :D

This is a new take on a very old trick. There are small variances in the first puzzle which are filled in by the second piece. There are then still small variances in the second puzzle, filled in by the third piece. The variances all average out along the piece edges so it looks like each complete puzzle is exactly the same size. But they are slightly different.

Quite similar to, but I guess a little different from the classic Winston Freer tile puzzle. I want one of those...

Very cool Puzzle 😎👍

I wish Asad was able to see my face while he preformed this. He might enjoyed my reaction.

Vsauce has a video on something like this but in reverse and with a candy bar....the area is spread over the whole of the rectangle so it be difficult to see the difference

The frame is a bit wider in the inside PLUS some area is added in the shape of a gap between the pieces, unnoticeable because of the lighter colour of the edges. Also in the last moment he shakes it and no sound is heard but at the begginning you can clearly hear some sounds. Both tricks+performance add up.

This was so cool I ordered one lol. I made one out of cardboard first and tried it, when It worked I ordered one, I'm a mechanical engineer and part-time math tutor so I a sucker for this kind of stuff, just love it lol.

This is pretty easy, the three squares might fit in the frame but they have actually different sizes. Only the third one, the last you put together, seems to fit perfectly in the frame, while the first two don't. That's why, at the beginning of the puzzle, you could take the parts off the frame from up, instead of having to remove the frame.

This is Pythagoras theorem. :) this works because the long triangle at the end always have some space (gap above) I think it’s tiny but enough. You could do this with paper and if you think about it, you could also do this with a chessboard

Only the width remains (x axis) equal, the height (y axis) varies with each added piece. The pink pieces are thick and their edges are angled (ie. not 90° but a little slanted), these angles take away some of the surface gain. It would probably not work if you put the pieces together in another way, because the angles of the pieces' edges wouldn't work together. In the second configuration you can see that the pink pieces reach through the frame (z axis), in the last config the frame sits on the pieces, they don't extend out. Why am I suddenly hungry for chocolate?

Neat. There is no space /between/ the pieces. The angles all match just like they look. All the wiggle room is in the width of the rectangle. Say the added pieces are 7x7 and 7x14, and the top piece's side lengths are left 7, top 49, right 21. Then the 5 pieces make a 49x32 box; 6 make a 49x33; 7 make a 49x35. The frame hides a bit of the pieces and conceals the fact that the rectangle is getting wider and wider and that the frame conceals more and more of it.

Simple. There is just space between the pieces at the start. It doesn’t seem like much but it is enough to add 2 more pieces spread out through the pieces. You can tell it’s more compact at the end.

The explanation is pretty simple, if your brain stops trying to 'think' that you're fitting the frame into each new shape-group. What is happening is actually (and you know it ;) ) the frame, at each new slightly bigger group-shape, is eating away part of the outline ( area) of the group.

So worth the upload ty and I have to add for anyone thinking the frame is gimmicked, try this with the video. Pause at 1:31. Now directly jump to 1:39. Notice the overall size of pink is identical, nothing hidden behind a trick frame and those times are a portion of the video after he's added a piece. Not to mention those pink pieces appear to me to be thicker (taller) than the frame, the frame would be resting on top of any overlapping pink if it was indeed gimmicked but it falls to rest on the table, FRAMING the puzzle pieces. This is just math, not a trick. Smh at the untrusting bunch.

Damn that’s super cool

Thats genius, it is slightly loose in between pieces, but adding peices only increase the night, but ever so slightly. That's amazing.

First one has slight space near the sides of the frame (the little square worth of space all arround) the second, when added the little squre fits perfectly, third one doesent fit, the frame lies on top of it and hides sertain ammount of the pink rectangle

where did you bought the puzzle?

If u move everything over then it will retake shape by moving the pieces, kinda like the infinite chocolate bar

The trick is the hypotenuse of the triangle the way its moved

If it isn't a trick frame than I have the belief that it's due to the change in elevation arranging the rectangle pieces. Such as using the first new piece to move the center frame lower and moving the top piece to the side. Same with the second new piece which simply places that declining slope to its original position and once again rearranging the top piece which ensures a fitted frame.

The inclinations of trapezoid should be diffferent I mean this thing should have 2 inclinations in it that are too close numerically an that makes the eye illusion =l

Very old but very effective "illusion". Even knowing the answer i still was not convinced. This version add 2 pieces and that's new for me. I would love to have one of this in my hand and make some closer observations.

Since the base is the same the high changes not a lot so it can fit in the frame again

Can you do this trick in reverse? Even with the frame?

When are you going to bring back mint deck?

hi any specific measurement of each shape?

Wish you would show the movement taking the pieces out, back to the original pieces.

The top aperture is smaller than the underside of the frame

Hey can u do the thumb around pen trick. Your last video was kinda hard to understand

The top piece always remains where it is. It slighlty moves left or right. The top piece is full width of rectange so it always aligns with rest. As for the height because of the angle of top piece and some other pieces, when moved space is created ...i dont really know how to explain

What is the product name?

-HEY, VSAUCE!!

Have been looking for this a couple of hours after seeing this on instagram and arguing with this guy about it being all about using the total area of the space and this guy cannot get over the fact it’s possible swearing the frames are different. I swear I seen one of these when I was just a child like 50 years ago

I came to see how it really works because it almost made me cry :D I know nothing but I love this neon pink version! Calms be down a bit. I still dont get it, thought.

The way the puzzle was taken out at the beginning (NOT using the half-moon finger depression in the black frame) tipped me off. If the puzzle WAS flush against the frame at the beginning, it would be impossible to remove without using that finger depression. After the 2 "extra" pieces are added, the puzzle is so flush against the frame, it would have to be taken out using the finger depression. As another commenter noted, the pink color provides a distraction, but compare the neon sides so visible at the beginning when the puzzle is unboxed and how you barely see them at the end of the video. Very nice puzzle!

It’s the the the reason thing you can do with a chocolate bar. The certain way you cut it can just be put back into a rectangle again

Cause of the laws of motion

simply there is a little high comes when adding the first Piece. That high is = the square meter of the added Piece divided on the Width of the shape. for example: if the square meter of the first added Piece is 2*2=4 cm and Width of the shape is 20cm So the new high is: 4/20 = 0.2 cm you cant notice that added high by your eyes Same idea for the second Piece

The biggest piece is the key, this is the same as the reappearing chocolate trick, search that up and you'll see how it's done cos I can't explain it well enough 😂😂

1:32 si the black part cutting ;O)

Lol, even when you understand how it works it hurts your brain

Wow this is cool

My brain is already hurting 😅😂😂😂

I suppose the angle of the camera would give us the illusion that the 1st whole puzzle is tightly arranged but if we view it on a top perspective, its not. Thera are gaps in it.

Pls mention dimensions of the blocks

To make this trick more interesting, you can label each peace like it are rooms of a floor plan for your new house. This idea comes from a KZfaq video I've seen last year. Edit: this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gbN5f9Zj0afPZ5c.html

This is like the chocolate bar that you can cut up and eat one piece and put the remaining pieces back together to make the full chocolate bar again. The pieces are all a little bit smaller but still seem to look like they fit. There are wooden versions of this puzzle by TCC for sale online as well. This is a more affordable puzzle because the wooden puzzle that costs $92.

Chest hair? Lol

Really veryyyy intersting

Where can I get it

Crazy

this reminds me of the banarch tarski paradox. I guessing its loosely based on that principle...just a wild thought

Legit magic

Just like "infinite chocolate"

Sure the match is perfect only on the end and not at the start and even not after first pieces is added and. If small square has side equal to about 1/5 of height and 1/10 of width than the area of the square is about 1/50 of the area of initial rectangle or 2 percent. To increase area of a rectangle (A=w h), where w and h are width and height of initial rectangle, by 2 percent, you could for example increase width w for 1 percent and height h for 1 percent, because for small increase the relative increase of the product of two factors or area A is approximately equal to sum of increases of both factors (delta A/A = delta w/w '+ delta h/h). But in this puzzle width was not changed so the relative change in height must be equal to relative increase of area (delta A/A = delta h/h, in this case the formula is exact). So the increase of height was about 2 percent for the first addition. He than adds another bigger piece rectangular in shape which has maybe 4 percent of area of the big rectangle. In this case he also changes only the height which must be for about 4 percent. Only now the frame really fits perfectly.

This is ultimate Tetris

What is it called and where can we buy this?

And as always... Thanks for watching

It kind of looks like the infinity chocolate case

Basically the area gets larger, but the fact that we don't see it gets large is because the gaps are getting smaller, you can look and compare all 3 and u can see the white area are getting smaller

You see that the frame is bigger than the pieces with no extra pieces

This is like the chocolate life hack videos

I assume the puzzle was 6 inches by 5 inches then the perimeter would be 22 inches. If the first cube which looks to be 1/2 × 1/2 inches were cut into slivers to go around the perimeter it would have to be cut into 44 separate pieces. This would mean each sliver would only be .01 inches thick which is really really thin. If the other piece which looks to be 2 x 5/8 inches. It would need to be cut into 11 slivers and each sliver would be only .056 thick which is still really thin. So neither piece would actually add a substantial amount of width to the puzzle.

can somebody PLZ tell me the name of that puzzle you know what fuq it ill just look it up on google

How to make ( cut ) this puzzle pieces

that was good

Well it's the same thing as the missing chocolate puzzle.

It's the same principal as the chocolate bar

Yeah...basically the overall size of the rectangle is growing...ofcourse unnoticeably..and that extra size gets hid behind the black frame

Each piece added adds a fractionally small amount to the height, making it seem like it always fits. The height of the frame is originally slightly more than that of the pieces, but not noticeably so. Then adding the pieces makes it fit snugly. Here is a video explanation: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/otqhe62Fvp6qmJ8.html

It’s cuz when you move the pieces, area is lost, and that little square is about the size of the missing area. Hard to explain

Math is math, never become a magic...

Asad are you here can you please send greeting to Turkey ? Like your vid ;)

i don't really understand, can someone please, explain me the principle ?

Very easy..

😎 cool

Math!!

This was the infinite chocolate trick
