Henry Ernest Dudeney/Puzzles and Curious Problems/351 - The Entangled Scissors

 * The Entangled Scissors
 * Here is an old puzzle that many readers, who have forgotten to put on the string, will be glad to see again.


 * If you start on the loop at the bottom, the string can readily be got into position.
 * The puzzle is, of course, to let someone hold the two ends of the string until you disengage the scissors.
 * A good length of string should be used to give you free play.
