When I was young I got this puzzle as a gift to me.
The aim is to get the long piece out. I haven't yet found a solution, and I'm not sure if there is one
Does this have a solution and if so what is it?
Answer
This puzzle is called a "Baguenaudier" which is French for "Time Waster".
This solution assumes that you are holding the handle end on the left. The rings are numbered from right to left starting at 1.
The solution to the puzzle involves a couple possible moves.
1) The first ring is always available to put on or take off of the bar. You take it off the bar by pulling it to the right and then dropping it through the center of the bar. You put it on by pulling it up through the bar and pulling it right and putting it on the bar.
2) To remove or put on any other ring, the next lowest ring must be on the bar and every other lower ring be off the bar.
