The Magus · Quest for Jiulianhuan (Nine Linked Rings)
A Variant Puzzle Designed
The Prompt
Design a variant of the Nine Linked Rings — by adding rings, by modifying the interlock pattern, or by mapping the puzzle onto a different binary or Gray-code structure. Analyse the variant's solution length and compare it to the classical 341-move solution for nine rings.
Completion Criteria
A specification of the variant, the solution length (derived or computed), and a one-paragraph comparison to the classical puzzle.
