Price: The puzzle consists of a looped handle interlocked with nine rings. The object is to remove the nine rings from the handle. It will take 341 moves to do the puzzle but there's a method and once you know it you'll certainly be able to solve the puzzle. The puzzle has been analysed by many mathematicians and more recently computer scientists alike. It is particularly interesting because it's been shown that the process of removing the rings can be directly related to binary numbers.
