Help with the Chain Puzzle!?!?

Question

I have the metal chain puzzle from Hanayama and I've got it stuck in the 2,1,3 position. How do I get it open from here? Please help-it's really frustrating!!

Answer 1

It is painful until you see this video, and then it is straight forward.

After you interlink all 3 pieces, you possibly let go of the wrong piece, putting them in the wrong order when you passed the 2 remaining pieces through each other.

Good luck!
