Henry Ernest Dudeney/Puzzles and Curious Problems/347 - The Iron Chain

by : $347$

 * The Iron Chain
 * Two pieces of iron chain were picked up on the battlefield.
 * What purpose they had originally served is not certain, and does not immediately concern us.
 * They were formed of circular iron links (all of the same size) out of metal half an inch thick.
 * One piece of chain was exactly $3$ feet long, and the other $22$ inches in length.
 * Now, as one piece contained exactly six links more than the other, how many links were there in each piece of chain?
