Jiu Lian Huan (Nine Linked Rings Puzzle)

Examine the puzzle, which consists of nine rings looped onto a frame with a connected handle, all locked together.

Work through the rings in a strict alternating sequence, since removing one ring depends on the position of its neighbors.

Slide and rotate the rings step by step, tracking which combination frees the next ring in line.

Continue the sequence patiently, since a wrong move can lock several rings back into place and add extra steps.

The puzzle is solved when all nine rings are separated from the frame, and can then be reassembled by reversing the sequence.
