The LEGENDARY Orb - World's most challenging Puzzle - SOLVED in two ways!

hi and welcome to another episode of mr. parsall today we're gonna talk for the second time about the ISIS or puzzle the self-proclaimed world's most challenging puzzle and I can tell you already it is pretty challenging and I give it my highest difficulty rating of five out of a maximum of five it is very very difficult but there are its coming also with some clues and these Clues you get after you register your puzzle on the website and there are overall ten of them and they are encrypted and this encryption is pretty easy to solve so it's just a simple encryption that replaces a letter by another letter you can encrypt it easily by hand or you can also use it a website for a nearly fully automated encryption the puzzle itself has a pretty interesting mechanism and solution inside unfortunately or luckily I found a different solution which nearly bypasses this complete mechanism and enabled me to solve it maybe in within one hour but I can guess that if you need to find a real solution for this puzzle it will be much much more difficult and take you much longer and without these clues I would consider this puzzle to be impossible today will be a I expect a long episode so be prepared for that I will show you two different solutions the original intended solution and also my personal solution and if you like watching videos about puzzles and enjoy my explanations about the mechanisms behind I recommend you to check out brilliant ER doc who sponsor today's episode brilliant ER doc is a problem-solving website that teaches you how to think like a mathematician or a scientist they offer you a huge amount of courses in the field of math science and computer science for example considering today's puzzle the ISIS orb you can learn and understand classical mechanics and if you provide a wrong answer don't worry that's part of making progress you can check out a solution for each single exercise and improve your skills so unlike listening and copying in a boring

interested to buy it just check out the website from Sonic games I will put you the link in the description of this video and of course if you intending to buy it don't watch the solution after the spoiler break [Music] the ISIS orb a very very interesting looking very cool puzzle and what does this puzzle about well it's about opening up this sphere and that makes it some kind of a trick box even if there's no real compartment inside it is or can be considered to be something like a trick box to open it as I mentioned in the introduction there are clues to solve this puzzle that are provided to solve this puzzle and if you know the solution they are pretty clear if you do not know the solution they are pretty difficult to understand anyhow one of the cues for example is telling you that these rings that go around here and can be twisted that made me think in the unboxing video this puzzle is something like a combination lock they are basically completely useless they're nothing to do with the solution also my guess here about this book and about the the pictures here on the box that they have something to do with the solution no they have not to do anything with the solution and I will show you now the intended way of the of sonic games how to open it up it's like a kind of a similar solution like with a lot of trick boxes yeah if you move it you can hear there's something going on inside here and there are some ball bearings at least to that rolling around and one thing that is not mentioned in the clues is you need to give it a good smack and I dude I do not mean like this yeah I mean really hard and this is probably what prevents a lot of people from solving it because this thing is pretty expensive and it's pretty cool-looking and well then you need to take your puzzle and do like something like this and this was really not too much you really need to hit it that hard to make a ball that stick to a magnet inside release and drops down and now the ball is released but the problem is and it is described in the glue in the clues that you need to hear be able to hear three ball bearings but it's nearly impossible to hear the difference between two and three ball bearings however if the ball is dropped down there's some kind of a maze lock inside and you need to actually do this kind of movement if you have the same maze inside as I do maybe there are more existing okay so you need I penalty a little bit towards me and then I do a circle 360 degrees counterclockwise 180 degrees clockwise another 360 degrees counterclockwise and another 180 degrees clockwise and now this button that I could press in the beginning let's say nearly doubled them as much as I can do now is blocked pretty much on the top so I can nearly press it in and this according to the clues is already a important step you need to reach okay but what I did need to do now is I need to press it in you will understand later in detail why I press it in and now I flip it upside down and I will move the puzzle now until it remains silent and I cannot hear any more of these ball bearings here okay so let me just do that [Music] so now I reach the point and you could see that it quite can take you some time the puzzle is now completely silent and if they if the puzzle is in this state and this state is already also mentioned in the clues I can press the button here on the rear side on the bottom side incompletely so you hear that sound if I you can hear that sound the puzzle is solved because I can screw unscrew these two halves from each other so the solution seems to be quite easy but I will show you if you see the mechanics the mechanism behind you will understand that it's actually not because it's quite complicated okay so how does it work well this ball bearing is in the beginning located here inside of this hole over here and it sticks to a magnet okay so that means to release it you need to apply some force yeah and the problem is if I do it by hand this is what I mentioned and this is the most difficult part of this puzzle the magnet is just too strong for my point of view you need to really hit it hard that the ball bearing comes out okay this is the most difficult part and then you have inside here this plate is metal plate I will just release the cover that you can see what's going on inside there and this is a maze lock and this is an amazing idea from my point of view very very cool the ball will drop down out of this hole through this hole over here inside the maze at this position and then I will do the movement as I described I will go one rotation counterclockwise half a rotation clockwise another 360 degrees counterclockwise ends 180 degrees clockwise and then you end up here in the center position and you have this pin here that you can press down and this press look inside it will make this movement and in the unopen stage this party of the puzzle will be not down here but more like in this position so it will lock by these two parts it will be the lock if we grab these two notches here and it will prevent you from twisting it and open it up okay so we need to push it down but basically you cannot push it down because it's not able not possible to push it down and also the distance of this piece is too less if the ball is not in position so if the ball is not inside here you can push it down but it will stop immediately before they start pushing down displayed only if the ball is in this position so it will be like a elongation of this piece you will be able to move to the next step so this is a pretty cool solution from my point of view a pretty cool part of the solution but why Cannot why can't I press it down and this is another very cool feature on this puzzle which I gonna show you in a minute if I take this mace lock out it's loaded by spring and by a spring that it's always pushed up and held in the locked position and there are two ball bearings inside here below it can rotate and this is the noise you can hear coming from the inside and when these two ball bearings positioned in these two holes and this was what I did with this strange movements when these are catched in these two holes from below and the puzzle is held upside down then I will be able to push this plate in by the button and it will grab here with these two bolts in a small knot see on the side and remain in the locked position and unlock position and I can screw it open very cool solution there's a lot of let's say thinking when I think they're the makers of this and put a lot of thinking inside here but they are also some design flaws yeah and this is for example if you take this piece here you will be able if it's covered up like this you will be able and this is what obviously happened to a lot of people you are able to assemble it wrong so in a wrong orientation so it means you can assemble it like this which actually it need to be to the air close to this notch the hole to this notch that the ball can drop down here if someone makes the mistake and assemble is like this the ball can never drop down again into the maze and you cannot unlock it and this is something that should not happen you should have implemented some kind of failure usually in designing it's called Pocoyo key it means you cannot switch the sides yes so you just need to make one pcs smaller and one not smaller and that prevents you from assembling in it in the wrong way so this is something that should not have should not happen in a cereal broad product that have been sold thousands of time nevertheless and what can also happen is you just take the ball out here and the problem is if you do not put it back well if I forget it and assemble it well it's not possible to get it open again because the ball cannot drop down in the maze it cannot get in this place and support this piece here if you push it in to push down the locking plate and open the puzzle up so the puzzle is closed also in this kind of if you make this kind of mistake the puzzle is closed forever ah in addition I forgot to mention there's also a key inside here now here it is so it's just a basic key some kind of a reward but in the end it has no no function okay so to lock it up again I need to do it in the following way or I will put this one in hole close to the notch over here a small groove put it in I will put the two bolts in the holes which can take you a moment okay now it's silent so I will push it in all the way down and ball the bearing is inside I will put it on top just screw it counter clockwise to lock it or get it into the locked position and if it's in position I'll give it a small smack from below that it jumps into place and the puzzle is locked again okay so this was the intended solution now I'm gonna show you the repair solution of my personal solution and how I solve this puzzle well I handled it a lot of times and I also read these Clues a lot of times and there's one clue that is at the very end of the clues I think the seventh or eighth ones and this one tells you that at the stage shortly before the puzzle is solved that you you should not hear the Bob yawns anymore and when I handled the puzzle and moved it around I also had it of course upside down and it happened to me not like now usually you take very long to get the ball bearings in position but now it happened to me that after some seconds they are already in position and when I handle it I notice it oh what's going on here because it sounds like yeah I can hear nothing anymore and it's it seemed to be like I'm very close to the solution and what I did in this position and this was the right step I took it and give it just a smack because like I do with a lot of puzzle boxes okay and if I do it like this the puzzle is already solved so this is not intended I think by the by the magnets of this puzzle and how did it work well I what I did here is I get the two ball bearings in the in the two Holsey of this piece so they are already in the right position usually this should be used to press down this locking plate the mace plate to unlock the puzzle much more difficult to get there but I used basically inertia here to open it because I I mean this this plate is kind of a mass okay and if I accelerate it and stop it immediately this will continue to travel due to inertia and it will unlock itself basically because if you if you hit it hard enough which I obviously did this thing is two ball bearings here or these two you locking bearings they will jump inside here from one notch to another notch and unlock itself so this is what what's basically happened to me and how I immediately could open this puzzle I will show you now something interesting because if I take this ball bearing out which is still in place this is horrible horrible difficult or horrible strong sticking here okay and if I now have this plate and I will now assemble it in the wrong direction so in this condition if I would assemble the original puzzle in this condition without the ball bearing and without the hole here in the correct position it would never open up again I will just lock it [Music] so it's a lock condition again you can see it bar bearing is still here and also the plate is assembled in the wrong direction so now I will get the two bolts again in the in the right position again and I hope that this kind of solution or trick might help all of you desperate guys who broke their puzzle because of Rome assembly so let's just get the two ball rings in position it is in position now the ball bearings are in position now and now I do it the same way as before I give it a smack that will be open able to open it up so please if you broke your puzzle and cannot open it anymore try the solution and let me know if this also works for you I hope you liked this episode it's a very interesting puzzle you have to consider if you give it to someone as a present or something it's very very difficult and the one should be able to or should have some experience with puzzling otherwise I think it will be impossible for them to open I
