Chinese Puzzle Rings: A detailed History through the ages   . . . . . introducing the Spiral-Flex handle


This solution works for all three of these puzzles . . . and probably several more different-shaped nail types .


       





Here is the starting position

   
right-hand latch starts its way downwards

   
. . . . . and over . . . . .

   

. . . . . and over . . . . . until you have made an approximate total swing of 315°

At this point, as you want to continue the swing, you will automatically
be forced to twist the right-hand latch away from you
. . . . . to be finally separated !
