Nancy Drew: Stay Tuned for Danger Hints

I need help solving the Ring Puzzle in the Prop Room!

  • 1 of 11: The directions are written on a plaque at the bottom of the puzzle.  The object is to move all of the rings from the left to the far right in order. (Click on a ring and hold your mouse button down while picking it up and dragging it over a new post.  Release your mouse button to drop the ring onto the post.)
  • 2 of 11: Begin by moving the smallest ring to the far right post.
  • 3 of 11: The next ring can go to the middle, since it cannot be stacked on top of the smallest ring.
  • 4 of 11: Now move the smallest one (which sits on the right post) to the middle, on top of the one you just put there.
  • 5 of 11: That frees up the right post entirely, so the next larger one can be placed there.
  • 6 of 11: It begins to get a little trickier now.  You'll need to move both of the ones in the middle to somewhere else.
  • 7 of 11: Move the smallest from the middle to the left side.  Most the next one from the middle to the right.
  • 8 of 11: Then move the smallest one from the left to right.
  • 9 of 11: Continue moving them around between the posts.  Eventually you will get the largest one by itself on the left side, ready to be moved.
  • 10 of 11: By moving the others around, free up the right side post so the largest ring can be moved there.
  • 11 of 11: Then stack the rest on top of it in order.
