Ball Push Puzzle

How to Start

The aim is to restore the strings of coloured balls by pushing them round the circular tracks. So first you need to click / tap on Mix to begin. Tap / click on a ball to push them round clockwise or anti-clockwise. Solve shows the moves in action solving the puzzle. It’s mesmerising.

The puzzle is the second to be put in the Compendium. The idea came from William Churchill in 1891 using 42 balls which he patented in the US. Later, mathematician Endre Pap produced ‘Hungarian Rings’ using 38 balls as here.
