A coil and ring puzzle was passed on to me for my attempt at solving it. As I looked at it, I knew it could not be solved in its current state. Something had to change. As I pondered the possibilities, I realized there was only one and it required a slight bit of force. I hesitated...do I exert the force and risk damaging something that did not belong to me? Though it was only a couple of pieces of heavy wire, it brought memories of a long lost father to the owner. Did I want to risk causing irreparable harm? Encouraged by a trusted smile and wink, I did. I took the risk and though it initially caused me some confusion, with more encouragement, I solved the puzzle.

Hmmmmm.
