Just a wooden cube?! Solving the Topless Box by Eric Fuller (Spoilers) #mechanicalpuzzle
18The Topless Box video! Finally made it. I have been looking forward to releasing this video for a very long time, I tried to kept this a secret as this is one of my first artisan level collectors puzzle, which I got back in December 2020, something like a Christmas present for myself. I was looking to solve it within a month and then make an exciting announcement of it, be it on instagram or in Youtube. Making a cool solution video and review.
However, it didn’t go according to my plan as it took me ages to solve it, 6 months to be exact. Well during this half a year, I attempted many times, and for some period I sort of gave up and then got distracted by other puzzles (as you can see from the other videos I released throughout the period since Dec). I had a breakthrough when picking it up in May/June and then one night I was solving it on my bed and then I finally got it! Thea-ha moment and excitement! Super cool puzzle
In this video, I will show you my solution to this excellent Topless Box puzzle box by Eric Fuller. This is my first puzzle from him and I am sure this is not my last. I will show how I tried to solve this puzzle, my failed sittings, and finally the full solution and revealing the mechanism in my video. I have obtained Eric’s consent to post this to the public, and he kindly allowed me to do so. Thank you Eric! Also thanks for the hidden prize :).
