uk666 5,298 Report post Posted June 23, 2018 Cutting Links Puzzle A jeweller is asked to join four small 3-link chains (shown) into a large circular 12-link chain. In order to join two closed links, one of the links needs to be cut, placed onto the other link, and then closed. The clever jeweller finds a creative way to make the circular chain while cutting as few links as possible. How many links does he cut and what does he do? Hint Spoiler The answer is not 4 Answer Spoiler The jeweller need only cut 3 links, all from the same 3-link chain. He can then take the 3 links he cut and use them to join the 3 remaining small chains together. Did you solve the puzzle? Was it easy? Tell us in the section below!
