You can make a puzzle with a T-shaped metal connector, two washers (or two of anything with a hole in the center) and a piece of string. It's simple to make, but difficult to solve! The washers begin at opposite ends of the metal fitting, and your objective is to bring them together on one side without untying the string. Try it!
1Tie thread to the T like in the picture (Length of thread is important, do not make it too short).Ad
2Thread a coin (or washer) through the respective ends of the string.
3Tie the string to the "wings" of T.
4The challenge begins! Without untying a knot, move the coins so they are on the same loop, touching.
We could really use your help!
