This Puzzle Box owns a secret!!

Ойын-сауық

The "First Box" was designed by Wil Strijbos in 1984. 35 years later I recorded my first attempt to solve this unique puzzle box. The target "Make me Smile". As soon as you have a closer look you will understand what that means! Enjoy!

    The unfortunate thing about watching Chris Ramsay's KZread channel and this one is that sometimes I see the solve of the same puzzle on one channel first before it shows up on the other channel like this puzzle and the last video. However, I do like watching Mr. Puzzle solve the puzzles more. It is less frustrating to watch Mr. Puzzle than when Chris tries to solve it. I think it is because Mr. Puzzle is able to clearly and logically explain how to solve the puzzle.

    So the nut at the top was attached to a threaded piece, and I wonder whether it wasn't the original intent to remove the hex bar, shift the top pin under the hole and then tighten that little set-screw back into the top hole, to secure the pin in the unlocked position? It kind of feels like that part was separate from the nut for a reason?

    I'm no puzzle price expert, but $25-$50 for a sequential puzzle seems quite low to me. Good, high quality puzzles are usually not sold in high volumes, so they don't make alot to begin with and as you can see with this puzzle, they are usually very well made, so I'd guess low priced puzzles would start around $80-$100. Google is your friend. Look around on Google. You might find something in your price range.
