One version of African ball and string puzzle

There is one version of the African ball puzzles. I tried to demonstrate the whole solving process as slowly as possible. There are two loops each with a polyhedron of different colour at both sides. It's not an easy task to transfer one polyhedron from side to another, which requires quite a careful and delicate skill.

I've not shown the "recovery" process because the procedure is just the same.
I use Arcylic rod and tube to make this string puzzle somewhat transparent, which makes the solving process more easy to understand.

Should you have any problem of solving the African ball puzzle or the like, please feel free to contact me. If you know the solution, I would do my best to help.

Dear kinford,

Thank you for your encouragement!

In fact, to solve most of the string puzzles is normally very tricky. Sometimes,the problem solver of this kind of string puzzles should get help from the book or other people who could solve the problem concerned.

Thanks your kind attention and comment again!

I think I've seen the same sort of thing done with a beads on a measuring ruler that had two holes at it's center, would that have the same solution and be the same as this if you used a second hole instead of the tube? Wow those books look interesting, it's great that you the skill to build them and solve them yourself. Some people only wait until stores supply puzzles before they can enjoy them, and never really learn the mechanics or skill to create them themselves. :)

DearTearyEyesAnderson,

I'd like to express my thanks for your great and lovely comments.

You've mentioned that some people never really learn and study the puzzle. It's a very common scenario since most of the people give up too readily and never get start even thinking about any slightly meaningful thing. And therefore education is so important to the children. Most people grow older but cannot grow up.

Thank you for your support again!
