I have been successful at solving other puzzles using computer programs, These are usually made from hard wire or cast metal elements, sometimes nails. Separated, typically by some sequence of twists and slides relative to each other. Sometimes more than two, more-or-less equal parts that must be Other types of tanglement include those where there are two, The best tanglement puzzles can elicit the reaction, "It can't be done!" often a rigid ring, shuttle, or flexible loop - even an open cord with a bead at each end -įrom the rest of the puzzle, to which I'll refer as the Frame, (a term I've borrowed from a description of route-finding puzzles) The objective is usually to separate a distinct piece I'll refer to as the Traveler ![]() Some have been made from nothing more than paper and string.
