RING PUZZLE SOLUTION

Here I'm going to show you the Hanayama Ring solution.

The Ring puzzle is a level 4 out of a possible 6 on the Hanayama difficulty scale.

The Ring puzzle solution firstly requires you to identify which piece is which and put in a certain orientation. This makes the moves much, much easier to do.

The hardest part of this Ring puzzle solution is putting the second silver piece over the top of the first silver piece. Being able to keep hold of the first gold and silver pieces while you do this move is key.

Once that is done, the finishing move are quite simple to do.

If you have any issues, comment below and I'll do my very best to help where I can.

Enjoy the Hanayama Ring puzzle solution!

Thank you so much! My wife purchased this puzzle some years ago as a shelf souvenir, and I've occasionally broke it up. She was angry with me as we couldn't put it into order. Now one family problem is solved with kind your help 🤣🤣🤣

So I think there's a far easier way to solve this, but first the story:

I had one of these when I was young, and I used to play with it all the time. I had lost it for over a decade and only today found it. I fiddled with it a d managed to solve it then took it apart to replicate the solution and couldn't. After about an hour of failing I started looking for videos and found a few (including yours) all of which have really complex ways of solving it.

I vaguely remembered the way I used to do it, I think I even got the solution from some instructions that came with it? But either way, I'm not sure how I could describe it in words, but I'll try...

The easiest way to see is by going backwards with a solved one. Keeping the two gold pieces together, lift the flat parts of the silver rings up 90 degrees. From the side it should look like a 'T' and you'll notice the silver rings actually hinge up and down really easily. This is the solution. As you'll see if you can get the two gold rings arranged into the 'X' shape all you have to do is rotate the silver rings around until the 'bumps' are crossing and then hinge them down.

Doesn't help when it's a ring puzzle with out the same brand marking. Can't tell which one would be the starting silver piece hen they both look the same.

Now do it after taking it all the way apart, you should have 4 rings hanging in a row when it is fully apart
