found this game online in the pages of Microserfs, which in turn took them to The Millennium Problems by Keith Devlin, citing that comes from Mathematics, The New Golden Age. (The images are of Andreas Joensen that come in the book). This is a topological problem, all curiosity.
game These figures are deformed, as if they were elastic and the holes are important.
The Problem of the Rings is possible to solve without much effort. Of course, you have to look very well and mentally go stretching and shrinking the figure to find the solution:
Can transforms the figure of rings (A) (B) ?
can not cut the figure by a point. One solution is to cut one ring and separate, but is not allowed. Only you can stretch, move and twist the figure but never cut or make new holes.
can you do with these conditions?
Well I say that it is possible to release a ring on the other, so try it before you see the solution:
The movements are carried out are these:
The transformation to be accomplished is this:
What you think?. Now what is easy or otherwise do not see it clearly?
