Mind Blown 2.0! – The Wavelinks

Hi and welcome to another episode of Mr puzzle today is the day I’m gonna review, crackle’s fifth puzzle. I think it’s the fifth puzzle already, the so-called wave links puzzle designed by Rod Bogart and made by krakil. If you remember, I mean you, you probably know I mean everyone knows, but if you remember this was cracles first puzzle, they released a Jack puzzle of course or reviewed it here on this channel.

The second one, if I remember correctly, was the second one in the row called the win puzzle, also a pretty cool one. Then the third one, the Taiko yeah, you see, the you know, like the relation to the standard German trick, shapes like a sphere like a cube like a yes tetrahedra and of number four, the Tetra puzzle, all of them made of steel, this one of brass, but The other ones and no aluminum here you see no aluminum or anything here.

So this is like brass and pure stainless steel on those puzzles, pretty heavy, pretty cool, and today I’m going to review number five and they were so kind sending me this puzzle to review it. The puzzle is not available to buy yet, but krakil sent me this copy to have a review before the official release, and if you are interested in this puzzle, you can check out their Kickstarter campaign that just went live and get this for a reduced price. I will put your link up here or in the description, so if you like what you see in today’s video be sure to check it out this one here, it looks a little bit to me like a solution card or something I will not open this up Right now, maybe later, but not right now – and this this is how the puzzle looks like same as the others. This is steel yeah. This is still no aluminum or something.

This is steel and wow. I just saw how this moves. I didn’t take it out of the box yet and wow look at this. This is crazy. They are joined here at these waves, therefore, probably wavelength, and they are twisting and sliding apart pretty cool. Also from Tuning Point of View, you need to connect these two Loops or Donuts through the center here that you have like two Donuts connected in this way.

Okay, after spoiler break you’re gonna see my first attempt at trying to assemble and then disassemble again the wavelings puzzle by Crackle, and here we go, so let’s see how to assemble two pieces. Okay, first two pieces: let’s take a black and silver one: okay, so whoa whoa It’s in again, but how should I get the second one inside there I mean eh, okay whoa. Can it maybe screw like 360 degrees and just continue here? I think yes or yes, oh okay, so it can move all the way through you see this, it’s a bit fiddly here to find the entrance of the next wave. Let’S say, but this might have something to do with the solution.

But how should I be able to get another piece joined? I mean it feels impossible. What is going on here? Hmm here, it’s already too late. I mean you can’t get this in anymore.

Okay, I can like it, but now, I’m very, very, very, very sure. It’S impossible to get this piece in um, maybe I can put this like through here. You know these fit so perfectly together here, okay, let me let me try something else. Let me create the same shape on these two now, let’s see if I can put it together like so, you know like wow, yes, like this, come on get in get in get in or imagine how these four pieces would slide together. They need to be perfectly aligned and then maybe I can get this one in or here we go.

Oh no, now the lower one fell out again, no idea how this should work at all. What am I doing here? This is so crazy. Oh my gosh! This is such a crazy puzzle, foreign.

This is just incredible. I know what I would like to do, but I I missing the last bit. You never expected this one to be so complex. No, does it somehow maybe work? No.

This does not work because I can’t slide them opposite. They need to slide All in One Direction. I think so yeah, but I can’t do this move when they are connected again. Let’S try to understand another way around. If I have a loop like this, how does it need to slide?

I mean it can own, it can only be as I I think it’s, it’s like sliding like so, but what about the fourth piece man? This drives me crazy here. I know exactly what I want to do, but I can’t do it. This is so crazy. Oh wait!

Wait. I think I got the point. This one will slide through this one until down here you see this you’ll just continue like down. Like down here and the other one, it is somehow located: oh, don’t don’t mess it up now it needs to be somehow located here from the top you slide into this one, but how how this is from the wrong side. What am I doing wrong?

What am I doing wrong? I can’t twist it in here yeah and then in the next one. This is not possible, you see and then maybe do it in the reverse. Don’T tell me this is possible. Now whoa, oh, come on.

This was stupid. Huh. Have you seen that, oh my gosh, I did it what happened I mean and now get it apart again. Oh my gosh, oh just give me a moment. Okay, oh no!

I have no moment. I just need to continue being too excited right now, um. This need to slide up, continue , continue , continue, continue, continue, continue, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. I got it. This puzzle is just amazing, so Rod Bogart.

You are my hero, this puzzled me, since a long time like this is incredible. Incredible design. Also on the manufacturing, excellent, but the design I mean this is just blowing me away. I will study this now for a second and then I will show you how to execute this flawlessly and in one take okay. So now this is how the puzzle works and um after I, this is some real, some of it sometime it.

For some reason, it was very very hard for me to figure it out, so I will show you two ways to solve it. First, the way I solved it and then the second probably the intended way to solve it, which is much easier, but I was just not capable of understanding it. I will join the first one by just getting it like in here by twisting it, and then I can get it into this position. I can slide it upwards, like so like this, like this okay, so then the second one so the lower one. I will get it on the bottom side in the same configuration or orientation that it was before, so that it is aligned with this one down here. It is very important.

And if, in this condition, I can slide the one here from the top downwards and it will just slide with a double rotation downwards, into its final position into the two rings. And if I now disconnect it from here – and this is, I think the easiest way is to just um just pull on this one. The black one here wants to drop down and then just pull it slightly downwards and it will come apart, and this reveals probably the intended solution, because if I slide these two pieces apart and hold them as they are, as you can see, they will line up And create this path here and down here, and if I keep them in this exact configuration, I will be able to slide it back together. Very easy, actually yeah. So you see this path going through here and I was just not capable of seeing it.

You probably were screaming at me watching this video just align them in this way. I was just not able to see it. If you do so, it’s a bit fiddly, not sure which solution or which way to solve it is better. But if you do so, you can see it will just slide inside and it’s again joined by a puzzle: water Masterpiece. I can only say it again excellent design here by Rod Bogart what a fantastic puzzle highly recommendable for my side.

Let me know what you think about this puzzle: did you see or see the solution within five minutes and just could not understand why I was not seeing it or did you just struggle with it as much as I did until the very end? Let me know in the comments: that’s it for today and until next time keep on puzzling
