a friend gave it to me ±15 years ago. He thought it was impossible to get the ring out. Maybe it’s faulty and they cut the rope shorter than they should have.

We don’t know what this is 🤷

a baby toy?

    The trick to knots is that only two kinds of them exist in 2D. The knot that is a knot and the one that isn’t. To transform any knot into not a knot you only need to cross the rope through itself once. Ie cut and splice.

    If you want I can give you abstract tips. But I think my hint was already close to telling you the solution.
