He enlists a TV station for help which seeks out a physicist and a magician. Funny stuff.






The puzzle does get solved by a man who does ring puzzles for a living.

Those wacky Japanese. Love 'em.

The guy that solved the puzzle was probably one of those high-ranking zen bondage masters, that has a 5 year waiting list of frustrated Japanese women. Forget what they're called now.

I am probably 'projecting' and shouldn't say any more.

Sorry for the OT Roosh.

I am convinced just about anything can be funny if its narrated in Japanese. They have a great sense of humor. I'll never forget getting hammered at a HUB in Tokyo with some 30 year old business men, in Spanish, who just got back from working at a Toyota plan in Mexico... they were funny as shit.

I wasn't expecting that song from Final Fantasy 8 to pop up there.

I bet there's a major hurdle in life that needs to be solved in a similar way.
We're probably a ring puzzle equivalent away from curing cancer or something.

EDIT: I just remembered an example.
For a long time, Henry Ford and his engineers could not figure out how to make a V8 engine.
They kept telling him it couldn't be done. After trying so many times, they finally figured it out.
We need people like that in our society so we can finally get flying cars for crying out loud.

Here's another Knight Scoop where a viewer writes in what word people in different areas of Japan use when sprayed by water. Apparently every area is different and says words like AKI!

So of course they travel around the country shooting people with squirt guns

They're doing this shit instead of rutting.

Sad!

I loved it! I loved how the puzzle specialist simply knew how to do it. I love being dazzled by insane skills.

There is something profoundly sad and depressing about being old

Roosh, what shows up in your "Suggested for you..." list?

Why are there some stupid videos with double subtitles in the same language - nearly made the video unwatchable for me. Who benefits for doing subs all over?

Edit: Ok I figured out ho to switch off one of the subs - yet still I wonder why someone wasted his time and mine to make them.

The video is really funny trough - I love how Japanese people dont take themselves seriosly.

No doubt the guy who solved this puzzle is genius but I am thinking who made the puzzle must be an absolute genius. How people come up with these ideas to make such puzzles?

Before modern times people were not distracted by flashy movies, games, phones and television, they also didn't have to spend most of their time in a fixed work environment, their work hours were generally much more flexible depending on social standing, also they didn't have education system that overdevelops left side of brain instead of right side of brain, so they had more time and energy to get creative.

One of those endearing things about Japanese culture is that it's like a culture of nerd celebration. No matter what mundane subject matter you can think of (trains, flower arrangements, rice balls, etc.), there will be Japanese nerds out there completely dedicated to all of the little intricacies of such things and taking it to a completely unnecessary but amusing level, and the other Japanese people will be cheering them on instead of condemning them.

Like this Japanese lady who runs an umbrella store and is so dedicated to her craft that she can identify the different types of umbrellas just from hearing them open:






And here's a sample set identifying the sounds of different types of umbrellas when they open:






This is like autistic levels of dedication.

I can't find the thread, but I remember you posting this video as well.






Everybody needs a hobby?

This woman has a phobia of balloons. So they get her to to face her fear.

I could watch videos like these all day.

Hobby is such an integral part of Japanese life. Its often one of the stranger things that people notice when they go to Japan for the first time, that people can be so committed to an art or to a subject that they become experts. That girl with the umbrella; Its a source of pride of mastery. Not every one makes it part of their business, but some certainly master aspects of their business, while still maintaining a lot of time for hobbies on the side.

Its part of the reason that Japanese can live so long. Boredom is death of the soul, not surprising the body soon follows.

What a fantastic culture. Thank God they are hell bent on protecting it.

I thought one of the guys on the show looked familiar. Toshiyuki Nishida who played Pigsy on the tv show Monkey in the early 80's.

No.

If it is, I'd say it's the positive face of Beta. The shame is that these sorts of skills aren't useful in the current Walmart of lust that is North America.

This video made me think legends about ninjas are not exagerated, what if someone applied the same level of dedication to martial skills, surely if anyone can do it it's Japanese.

If you want to get more of Japanese geekery you have to check out the Begin Japanology and Japanology Plus series:

I've always had great experiences with Japanese people, when I was around 12 years old I had a Japanese exchange student stay with my family. He brought me a little gundam toy and we assembled it together.

I had another one who brought origami paper and taught my family to fold jumping frogs and make sea otters and other animal shapes. It's just cheap origami paper, but we had a lot of fun folding shapes together and getting taught by this little kid.

He also brought a kendama and showed us the tricks he'd been practicing.

Someone should tell her opening an umbrella inside is bad luck.
