Puzzle rings

[FrekeChild]

Does anyone else have one of these nasty little things? Mine was all put together but then stupid me dropped it and now it''s all apart again and I am not patient enough to try to put it back together.

Nope, I don''t own a puzzle ring. Always wanted one when I was little though...thought it would be fun to play with in school

. Can you look up solutions on the web??

I have one! Need help?

 

[FrekeChild]

Yes. I think it has six rings...I''ll post a pic tomorrow? That thing is evil. I have an ex who managed to get it all back together but dummy me dropped it about 10 minutes after he gave it to me, and of course it immediately fell apart. And obviously it''s an ex, so I''m not going to hunt him down to get him to put it back together!

My HS BF gave me one with 4 rings. I was pretty descent at getting it back together in those days. It was an evil little thing at first. I wonder what happened to it, I wasn''t in HS that long ago, surely I haven''t lost it.

Good luck. 6 rings is hard, 4 was all I could handle and I needed both hands, my tongue in just the right position, and to squint to get that done.

Oh dear...I do not have one because I simply do not have the patience for one!
I hope that you can solve this and get it back together!

This might help.. (it''s instructions found online) But when I looked at it just now, it confused the crap out of me.. http://www.puzzlering.net/6band-inst.html

Good luck!

I must have the "entry level" puzzle ring because mine only has 4 rings.

My mom and I both have ones...I don''t know where mine is though, and I got it in El Rastro in Madrid, so probably should find the thing! Anyway, I had the same problem. My mom is a PRO at getting back though, but every time she''d fix it, I''d try to figure out how she did it. The secret is making the two pointy parts so they make a diamond, but then it involves wedging and flipping, and at that point, I''d give up.

I love puzzle rings! I don''t have one myself, though, so I don''t have any tips for you! My mom has her mom''s puzzle ring, and my grandfather actually took it from my grandmother and got the rings (I think there are 4) soldered together because my grandmother kept taking them apart and could never get them back together!

That ring actually started to wear out so me and my sisters pitched in and got her a new identical one last Mothers Day. We got it from PuzzleRing.com, but I got it with a small gold piece at the bottom that holds the rings together. I think they had instructions on their website for putting them back together, though. Good luck!

They are the devil. Seriously. I had them this close [] to being put together (Actually closer than that), and then I accidentally let go of ONE RING for a second, and splat. That was it.

I HATE THEM I HATE THEM I HATE THEM.
