I will have to find Chain Gang first! I guess it is a good thing to try these disentanglements in order of increasing difficulty.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10140920751826036814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341941751324943000.post-36388253678891894132011-11-06T19:22:34.159+00:002011-11-06T19:22:34.159+00:00Well done George!!!

One of my puzzle friends here has just solved it after playing for about a day in total - quite impressive.<br /><br />Now you must be ready for the challenge of the <a href="http://www.puzzlemad.co.uk/2011/09/chain-gang.html" rel="nofollow">Chain gang puzzle</a> again! It is only an order of magnitude tougher!!!Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649523779226834414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341941751324943000.post-49312007735096361772011-11-06T00:18:41.130+00:002011-11-06T00:18:41.130+00:00SSOOLLVVEEDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I must say I didn't have an "Aha" moment, although I started to get an idea of what needed doing to get the diamond off. This is a freakin' hard puzzle, IMHO. I think a year from now I will have forgotten how to do it.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10140920751826036814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341941751324943000.post-19614406436435633752011-11-01T21:45:20.193+00:002011-11-01T21:45:20.193+00:00Obviously you are a masochist!

Hmm, maybe I will have to give it another try.

I bought one and have still not solved it two years down the road.<br /><br />Funny thing is I discovered that some disentanglement puzzles, like Ball and Chain, are easier to solve in reverse. So I took a second diamond from another puzzle and tried getting it on. And I succeeded! But I could not remember how I solved it, so now my puzzle is stuck with two diamonds on it and I cannot get them off. :(Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10140920751826036814noreply@blogger.com
