actually i have no patience for puzzles.
I'm a typical American- easily frustrated. I would have cut the rope and moved the things..

I do love chess puzzles; they are solvable by known chess methods..

Honestly, I hate puzzles.

I love puzzles but they don't always love me.

I love puzzles but they don't always love me.

I design repairs for building structure and they are, by any definition, puzzles. I find it very satisfying because when I'm done a building gets a new lease on life and I get a fat check.

I also design exterior "curtain" walls for commercial buildings and that is a puzzle figuring out what the architect and structural engineer are trying to do. Again, a fat check provides motivation.

I can't see wasting time on rope puzzles.
