Solving The RAREST Puzzle Box in the World!! (Steampunk Puzzle)

Hello guys, welcome back. I'm beyond excited about today's video, if you couldn't already tell from the huge amount of effort we put into that intro. I hope you enjoyed it, by the way, today's

puzzle

is probably something out of this

world

. One of the craziest

puzzle

s I have ever seen and one of the weirdest puzzles I have, which is why this puzzle is known as the ax mechanism. It is made by a company in France called NK D. These parts are CNC laser cut and 3D cut. printed and then hand assembled by a guy called Krista Lab, who owns this thing, it looks amazing, it feels amazing, it's exactly what you'd want in a puzzle box.

I think this is the perfect puzzle box, it has all those satisfying knickknacks. and knobs and in that whimsical mystery that comes with just looking at or holding this box, that's why I'm so excited. I haven't been this excited about a puzzle in a long time. I can't wait to figure it out. again I hope we do if by the way you enjoyed this content and you liked the amount of effort we put in every week like this video it actually helps comment below subscribe to all that and without further ado let's solve the fuse , I need my puzzle box.

I'm not going to drop it Wow, look at this thing, it's a work of art and I've got gears falling on me here, I'm going to adjust the timing, so this thing is pretty exquisite. I thought about having a multiple camera angle as well, but I think top down will be best to see what's going on because I'll be working on the top sections, but for the most part anyway, yeah, this cost about 2,300 euros, which is approximately 2,300 dollars. dollars plus about 500 dollars import tax hoping it's worth it, many of these parts are 3D printed initially when I saw this on the site I thought they were wrong, it's all metal, they are 3D printed, they are still quite ornate and beautiful.

I don't know which side to start with and even though there are no clues or hints available to me, I'm just going to put this aside and I like this side because it seems the most interesting, it's got all this really interesting stuff in here, oh. man so I don't want to force anything look how cool it is you can move that thing and everything moves here yeah I feel like if I force that something will break okay so this thing wants to come out but it's stuck. it keeps bouncing against this wheel here, so it doesn't change in any way, what about these, who are they, okay, it's like one click, that locks like that, so maybe there's around 10, 10 to 15 movements depending on apparently, how you see the movements performed man, this looks great, isn't it good though? let's start on this side here we have a bunch of symbols here oh, we have a hand, we've seen that hand before here's a lock there's like a little lock symbol here for these to move I mean, maybe that hand should point where point that hand pointing this way where is the point to wait what is it pointing at the hand is pointing at I don't know, it's playing - oh here we go ooh look At that, that's something, okay, this side opens up, that's the negative , but this definitely opens up and why is that?

Oh right, wow, because it moved now, this part happens, oh my gosh, that's okay, okay, two things happened, look and that lifts this up so this wheel ah now this wheel turns and what does that mean why are we turning? this wheel oh now that this can move so now that it moves it was so bad so that's stuck there now it's okay oh man that's cool well this Here you have to get out of the way. Can this one move now? Yes it can, it can move now, therefore this one moves and because this one moves, what does that do?

That makes it loose. Ugh, I think so, this is definitely needed. out of here and our breakup requires no force oh look at this oh wow wow what else is holding this back this giant wheel oh this here so this seems to be the last puzzle I have to solve here right, they are just random so I have to write them down somewhere place I'm not sure what to do and I have to do it, this is the only one, if I'm not mistaken, it's like this, that one is unlocked, that one seems to be unlocked too, this side is unlocked and this side is unlocked, so the only side that's still locked is this side I guess that's where the opening is, which will be sick when it opens, but we definitely have to find a way to unlock maybe oh, these are all different sides than the ones that have one side. the hand, these are all different sides, right, but what are the different sides that they match?

What are they? What do you mean? So let's take, for example, the hand which is the side with the hand. Is there any shape in this circle here that looks like something you would do? find on the side with your hand what we have here square hexagon like a triangle and like an almost triangle where are they supposed to point, okay, you can take another one here, what is this one? I bet you know what that shape looks like. This kind of appearance looks like that little guy. It is a hexagon. I'm bad at geometry. That shape, right?

I mean the shape with the teeth is a square, so it looks like. like the gears so that would make this a square what is this what is it with the two the two bars what do the two bars look like two bars looks more like what that looks like what is the shape of a triangle and another triangle oh well , triangles What is that side? Well, that's this one, right, it looks like that. Okay, look, he's going. I think this will be this one. I think this will be a triangle. If not, we swap those two and see what happens. a no, just put that one in a triangle and then put this one in that one yet a no, they're all lined up oh this one, which one are we missing we have five four shapes maybe that's the hand that's the line what combination don't we have I tried this one is the triangle, no, this is the open, we really have to figure out what I think this opening here, what is this, I mean, it has this shape, this star shape, which is which is what you find. right there, so I'm pretty sure this one looks more like a square than anything else with the gears and stuff, so I think you have to aim for the square, um, the two lines, I don't know, that would be all. of those symbols what would be that would be I mean figure there are many triangles there maybe maybe that is the triangle so one with this one here that will be the triangle let's put that in the triangle so let's say we have this this this one we discover this hence it's on this side what shapes we see here I think the lines are correct and they make sense in the last one it has to be that kind of open V shape not yet No, so the hand Where is the hand again?

It's over here. What is it most like? Kind of shapes we have here for the most part. I don't see any way. I don't see the V. I don't see. the triangle and I don't see the line this is difficult everything else was very simple but this is difficult I really have to figure out why clearly that is a correct block that is connected here like all of these I have to slide to these here and I'm sure that There's a whole that you know in each of these that lines up somehow once you turn it right, which is super clever for figuring out which is which.

And how do I know which is which? Is there any clue about this that would lead me to believe that they are enemies if there is a little symbol hidden somewhere on one of these sides still looking for a little symbol hmm oh well this is opening up. Now, oh, hello, does this mean? Look, that's great, that was really good, but okay, see if that doesn't move because this one got stuck in the way, so maybe I had it before. Now it will unlock if I find the right one. combination okay, let's try this again, we just take a second to appreciate the craftsmanship of this thing, this is pretty intense.

I feel like I was in the movie The Time Machine, there was a time traveler or the time machine, thanks to the time machine. It looks like a little time machine, yeah, okay, the only way this will open is if I figure it out because there's no clue, maybe there is, maybe there is, there has to be a clue as to why these symbols are here and how they match the different sizes the only similar clue I can see is this one, which are the circles here, which one is this one that looks like a square, right, there's five, wait, so there's five, so it's one, two, three, there are six sides here, why? there are only five of these things whose side is not included is this right that clearly this is right this this symbol here is clearly this this symbol here is clearly the one with the two sides that is here this side so Those are these two symbols clearly the one has the hand and this is clearly this one, so this is this one or which one would make more sense would be this side, yeah, it would make a lot more sense, yeah, SSS, right, right, so what?

Does that mean well here's the other thing here's the other thing Oh all these symbols have correct lines so this is clever one two three four five that's it, that's the order in which they were solved so the last one is five this is right for which one was four I had a look here this one was definitely not one one was I think this one here I think not I don't remember so one would make a lot more sense it's like a safe combination so one so we have one now too, so once it opened, which side we opened next was this.

I think the lines are correct, so the lines on this one were five, yeah, five, then we got one, two, three, missing three and four, so it's one of these two bath three. and four or yes, so now what. Wow, look at this puzzle mechanism ax from nkd and then inside we have a little gift. There is no correct way to configure this animal. I guess that's a key. I guess that's a key. What is this key for? or is there no keyhole anywhere completely impressed I mean, come on, all this here, finding out that was the best thing ever, that was the best.

I was discovering that they were one, two, three, four five, that they were sides and not just. random shapes that blew my mind, which makes logical sense, so let's put that, oh man, this is so cool and then that lever at the end that's there with this little, you throw this here, baby, that's so cool. Can I get this together? that's going to go there no matter what we can press as much as we want okay, I think the next thing was this, why do we have your number? It was this, I think there we go.

Wow, that's great, this closes here and I think we're. at first, so incredibly cool, oh my god. Wow, so I went back to the puzzle and pulled out this thing because I think maybe it's like a cool mechanism that I can put together for you guys, okay peace, there you have it. Ladies and gentlemen, I've created whatever it is, it's like a little

steampunk

arm that I can grab things with, so it's not a key, the whole thing looks like a key, it's a little bit of a

steampunk

arm or a bottle opener, like that I can grab things, let me. grab whoo, there's my trophy, pretty sweet, okay, hot, oh yeah, just give me a second, we're okay, okay, oh, that was, uh, that was an unintentional mechanism and amazing magma.

I'm completely excited about this whole puzzle, even that little mechanism they gave me. which is great, by the way, this is another little thing they sent me from home, which is great, look it has my logo on it, it's possibly my favorite puzzle if you enjoyed it, go ahead and like this video, subscribe to new here and see you in the next peace ah I'm not going to throw anything away I'm done throwing things away for today
