6 linked-ring puzzle solving

Patience puzzle is a 6-interlocking ring puzzle. The formal name of it is classical chinese puzzle or in Chinese, Jiulianhuan. In this video, I've solved it under 28 seconds. This one can be bought online. Because the "sword" or the handle is very narrow in between but very heavy. It is not easy to solve it so quickly. Compared with my hand made and with optimal size, I can solve the puzzle of simliar type(of course with 6 interlocking rings) in about 16 seconds.

This reminds me of ?Towers of Hanoi puzzle where weights are on a balance and must me transferred from one pan to the other with size restrictions demanding piling up in order and out of order over and over.

You've a very keen observation and the analogy between the classic Chinese puzzle and "Towers of Hanoi" is accurate.
