This puzzle is impossible to solve. It's topologically impossible. Must be some kind of hoax.

These kind of puzzles are no brainer, I have done so many under one minute, all you have to do pull the knot to either side and it’s all done from there.

Thank you for this tutorial. Just now, my sister's masker connector was in this state. I found this video and it worked! So thrilled since me & my father struggled with it for about an hour + my sister for about an hour too. 😂😂 This works!

I solved it in 1 second of looking at it.
