Wooden balls and cord, the first; hexagonal nuts and cord,
the second. |
This puzzle exhibits the most desirable qualities for any puzzle. It is very
simple with only one loop and one rope about 350mm long tied into a square (reef)
knot. Neither ball will not fit through the little loop. Yet it confuses even
the most seasoned disentanglement puzzle solvers. Even those who manage to get
it apart do so with such enthusiasm that they quickly pull the rope straight
without paying attention to its position at the moment of success thereby making
it much more difficult to put the knot back. You can easily make one for
yourself. |
