Golden rule: Put it back together just like how you disassembled it.
Edit: Thanks for the 17k likes, I know it doesn't work in everything, but still a golden first aid remedy that saved my ass many times.

“Oh guys I invited John to come for a beer too he should be here soon”
“For fuck sake not the guy who brings puzzles to the bar”

Use something similar on powerlines, call it armor rod, it's always fun to watch the new guys try to figure it out. I can do 6 strand all at once, but not the 12 strand

... The only puzzle I knew existed was the jigsaw puzzle. Like such things even exist!?

Fun fact: the shovel was a ground breaking invention

According to particle physics and string theory, the first way he showed that was unsuccessful will eventually work. The "strings" that make up all atoms and matter are constantly vibrating and moving around. So theoretically, after trying an incomprehensible amount of times (a number that's so large, it's not even really conceivable to most people), the strings will all align perfectly and the two pieces of metal will phase right through each other...thus solving the puzzle 👍🏼

Cheap and simple looking brain teasers always make for good conversation pieces

I know the second solution but I don't know how to explain well. You put together the three sticks but not on the same level. The second stick needs to look longer than the first one, the third stick needs to look longer than the second and you add the fourth stick by sliding along the three others.

Can we just appreciate how fascinating it looks when it’s assembled

Love the vids, when I was a kid my dad would take me to a local sub sandwich shop, they had 4 metal puzzles on the counter and anyone that could beat all of them in under 2 mins got a free foot long sub, I'd win every time lol

I can imagine your friends trying to bend the metal pieces for hours and not thinking of doing something differently and just being like, “I just need to bend harder!”

Whoa, this is the first of these puzzles I actually figured out on my own🙌🏼

Me: "It looks like twizlers?"
Barin: *"eat it"*
Me: "Why?"
Brain: *"yes"*
*B a r i n*

Cool nice 👍

We use these in Powerline to protect wire from connection points it’s called armor rod. Much bigger and many more pieces.

As a backyard mechanic, things like these are very easy because the only way I know how to fix things is by putting it back together the way I took it apart 😎

I would bring it to the bar and give it to my friends and say whoever can solve this right now is the designated driver

You just push two pieces together end to end, and make sure they curl around each other, then the third, then the fourth

“Let me know if you know the second way to solve this puzzle”
Me being me: Put it through the second hole :D

I m not that puzzle interested but u made me love it thanks buddy❤

Wow, chrome plated pre-formed wire looks nice.

Everyone: talking how cool the puzzle is
Me: but can i eat the peppermint puzzle?

Fun fact: that's how it's made originally in brake cables and ordinary metal cables 😉🏭

Use something very similar all the time. Armor rods for distribution power lines.

When he mentioned the twisting method, I *FLIPPED* thinking it was revolutionary.
Then, he said that it was the wrong method and I felt stupid all over again.

As an electrician, this puzzle made me smile for a longgggggg time

That is so satisfying and eye candy for the brain 👍😊👍

Anyone else know what armor rod is we use it working on power lines it’s basically the same thing and you CAN put it together the same way but you can also twist it if your good at it 👍🏻

I like the aesthetic of the puzzle. Would make a nice house deco if suspended into a frame.

That was balls easy. I could tell just by seeing it how to solve it.

finally i found something worth to watch on yt shorts and subscribed man. keep it up the great work!

LOVE IT! Super cool.

That was actually pretty cool and easy

Imagine having a friend that wips out puzzles every time you go out for drinks with them. Hey who's coming to the bar? Steve. Steve? You mean the guy that brings the puzzles? I really don't feel like getting hammered and this guy's going to make me play with his puzzle all night. Must be a blast at parties

I was literally thinking of doing that bc that’s how he took it apart so my brain automatically thought “that might also be how you put it together”

This puzzle is beautiful. Thanks for b sharing

Wait. This insane! So you put it back together the same way you took it apart?

second way: use the same technique but use the other two sticks instead

*PUT DOWN THE WEAPON SIR*
“It’s a puzzle chill”
*DIES*
Edit: thanks for the likes lol, wish I got that much on my vIdEoS

I did this 1 years ago it was super simple

I am not sure if someone has commented the second way but it's by combining 2 pieces along with the remaining 2 pieces by running it along the grooves. Can't explain it very well sorry.

As a Distro Liney we do this everyday with Armour Rods for conductor.

Crazy I knew how to solve this one from the start

This left me with a feeling of wanting. Haflbaked, I was expecting something more difficult, thinking that it all was a trick to seem difficult.

The way the light bounces off of it creating shadows on the edges makes it kinda look animated into the video

Bruh I been wondering how to solve this puzzle for a minute now 🤯😂

So that thing I decided to make after a flash of inspiration from twisting random things is called a peppermint stick puzzle

“Put it back together the same way you disassemble it”
All fun and games till you receive it disassembled like his friends. They couldn’t do it because they didn’t k ow how it looked like in the beginning.

That's gotta be the easiest puzzle I've seen. Now drunk that's a different story

Reminds me of when I used to weave steel cable into lifting slings

Thanks to TheXvid I haven't figured a puzzle out on my own for quite a while...lol

He's the guy at the bar with the crazy puzzles... great ice breaker 👌

Amongst all the other bs shorts on TheXvid. I genuinely appreciate puzzle guy the most.

If my buddy brought a puzzle out at the bar, I'd immediately start mingling with strangers.

The sticks looks so pretty it could easily be jewelry.

Me: *Sees 2 curve metals*
*Sees 3 curve metals when he disassembles it*
*Sees 4 curve metals when he spread it*

I'd like portable cutlery like this, the curveture doesn't seem so big that it will be uncomforable to hold

You mustn't be fun at parties 😆
Just kidding love you man ❤️❤️

Well......it seems that getting friends is harder than the puzzle. 😭

Yes I would be the one to solve this in 1 minute! I think this puzzle was obvious 😇

Bro please make more videos bc I'm loving it

Where do you get these? So cool

Wow that was so good 🤩

Someone needs to make a 3D print file for this

That’s a beautiful puzzle tbh. A bit loud with metalmclanking but i guess it sounds sophisticated and will def get my crush to notice that I’m in her class. PagMan

THAT WAS SOOOOOOOO SATISFYING😌😩

A quote I found: “It’s easy to destroy something but harder to build it”

Love these puzzles man

Second way is to take one stick in hand and slide the other 3 held together.

You’re telling me, when you’re out with the Boys, getting some drinks, you’re like “hang on guys. Lemme grab this puzzle I already know how to solve”

" the assembling part is much more difficult" it's the same as raking it apart but in reverse

That was satisfying ❤️

Wow 👍🏻
The second way to solve this puzzle is from the top, just push it down.

That’s was a satisfying and smooth fit.

Steven. I really like those kind of puzzles. Cool DADDY-O. I have many ideas how to make puzzles. But I don't have money for a patent.

The second way: twist but for harder and longer obviously ;) also more drinks

Every electrician ever:
"What's the challenge exactly?" 😂👌

It's not a mistake it's a masterpiece

hands: looks easy enough
brain: yeah
*tries to do it
hands: okay brain how do we-
brain: 🤷‍♂️

Second way to solve it: low key never disassemble it… it’s always solved

Imagine bringing this to the bar

Plot twist: He feels sad when he gives the ball to people but they don't accept it.

Why did I figure this out in my mind in like 5 seconds?? I swear I’m not that smart and I’m not lying. I knew exactly how to solve it

You can absolutely twist all four parts together at once

I ❤ it!

Okay puzzle guy we gotta talk here, your only the true puzzle guy if you have a rubiks cube collection and if you do please please please make a video about it I'm a cuber and I would love to see your collection 😁

Reverse engineering. The moment you pulled one out to disassemble it, I knew the solution. Would be more challenging if I didn't see how you took them apart though.

Yes i Want a second part please.

So cool...
Thanks for sharing...
greeting from Malaysia 🇲🇾

Any electrician would have this solved in a second.

I just know one of these days somebody is going to come up to me on the street and ask me to solve a puzzle and I'm going to blow their mind

I actually solved this problem in 20 secs

There is an easier solution just get buff enough to just bend it into whatever shape you want it to be

Any lineman or even groundsman can solve this in a matter of seconds, since they do these everyday with steel cable tie wires.

Got it right away. Same way in as the way out

it's not a mistake ✨it's a masterpiece ✨ ayo😳

Him: I love this puzzle
Me: oh my god it’s a twizler!

Someone needs to make edible peppermint puzzles. Sure, they'd piss off parents everywhere with half-eaten puzzle pieces stuck to car seats and backpacks, but they'd be rich.

Second way: you slide it down instead of up
