Chinese Puzzles Abound

As usual, I took a bit of a long lunch break, wandering about a little longer than I should have.  I happened to pop into the Museum of Chinese in America to revisit an exhibition that I had looked through only in passing- Chinese Puzzles: Games for the Hands and Mind. Hardly being an avid puzzle solver, I had to bring my friend (who is one) to examine what was on offer.  While she had some fun untangling some of them, I found myself looking closer at fun items and the construction of things instead.

There were two sets of puzzles that did intrigue me, although I did not try to solve them. The visual captivated me, and it reminded me of some things which have crossed my mind these days- prison and love.

Although I could not solve it (nor did I try), I do hope others can break out of their chains (physical and otherwise) and be free.
