Don't give up. It's quite a hard puzzle. The solution is definitely non-obvious. But, it is solveable and once you do figure it out, it's really easy.

The fact that you say you "bend them" suggests otherwise -- these things are nearly 1.0cm diameter solid steel. Would take some wicked force to bend these things ... not something I'd do casually. But, yes, these things are a great way to distract your brain when you're working on a problem, etc. Shawn:

We bend them and wrap them around to keep it interesting as well. Dossy,
