The step I like best is the switch from attracting to repelling magnets.
-
It would have been cool if the three dummy 'feet' had not been glued but were able to be pulled out different distances and also able to spin. That misdirection would make the puzzle even more potentially perplexing!
-
Just to clarify, the d4 🎲 (the 🎲 with only 4 faces), is read exactly as you assumed. You read the number that appears at the peak. They are most commonly used for tabletop and board games along with d6, d8, d10, d12, and d20(each indicating the number of faces).

We All Appreciate Alliterations

in the bag with the dice- could have a diagram of the insides for inquisitive solvers. I'd like to know how it was built as it was a hand crafted in wood- maybe?
-
Great puzzle and the best part was the repelling magnets.
-
Yes. You read that kind of D4 (4sided dice) by reading the top number.
-
Always a good day on YouTube when I see a new video from Mr. Puzzle. This puzzle looks so much more innocent than it is. I can't even imagine how long it would take me.
-
Love the sequential discovery puzzles. We should have Mr. Puzzle sequential discovery videos, where you solve one video to get to the next one.
-
as a tabletop game player it is always funny seeing people struggle with D4's. i have 2 types: one where the number on the top is correct and one where the number on the bottom is correct
-
Boy, this puzzle is way too fiddly. I don't think I would ever solve it.
-
So are the dice loaded to always land the same way? That would be a cool way to let the owner know which serial they own of a limited run. (D4 & D10 would allow a limited run of 40.)
-
Reading a d4 depends on the placement of the numbers, but the solution to that puzzle is to read rhe number that's right side up.
-
Thank you Mr.Puzzle!! Great movie, even if just working through the solve
-
This is a cleverly made puzzle.
-
I wish i could see the inside as well. I suspect I know how it functions but would love to see it.
-
Throwback! Got to admit, I was really glad when you switched to a "live" solve, watching your brain work has always been fascinating! Shame about the footage, but cool little puzzle all the same.
-
Satisfying Mr Puzzle takes little effort! Hope the manufacturer will send you a replica but in perspex. Keep on posting!
-
That's an awesome puzzle.
-
Buy two and take a saw to the second? :P
