Questions
How are these two puzzles and the handcuffs puzzle related? What makes them topological puzzles?
They are all solved by making something pass through, rather around, something else. I suppose what makes them topological is that the puzzler, in solving them, must without literally extending any of the pieces make a way/space for the string to pass by. I'm not sure if that's a fully adequate explaination.
