Steps to Solve Nine Consecutive Rings

The Nine Rings is made up of nine rings connected by nine rods on a handle, and removing the handle from the rings means the game is successful.

We can start by wrapping the first two rings together from the front of the handle. As shown below

After winding out the first two rings, drop them through the gap in the handle as shown below.

Unwinding the first two rings is easy, but how do you unwind the back? Obviously, the first two rings don't apply to the third ring. But the fourth ring can be removed by wrapping the fourth ring around the front of the handle and dropping it through the handle slit. This method of avoiding the ring that needs to be undone right away and undoing the ring on the level above it is called a leap. It's pictured below.

When the fourth ring is also removed, our first task becomes to remove the first three rings, which is an easy task, from the third ring pushed forward to remove, as shown below, when the first two rings are removed we have completed the first four rings. At this point the fifth ring is exposed, follow the previous step to remove the sixth ring first and then push forward to remove, until the last ring is completed. Thus, in this order of two, four, six and eight, the process of solving rings can be accomplished in even leaps and odd renditions. Until the rings are all unraveled.

The Nine Linked Rings is a traditional Chinese folk intellectual toy made of nine rings made of metal wire, which are set on a horizontal board or various frames and threaded through the ring handles.

When playing, according to a certain program of repeated operations, you can make the nine rings were unraveled, or merged into one.
