Solution to Two Rings Problem

Because of the heaviness of the rings, melting the wax to form a bond around the rings will not be secure enough.

The candle's wick is a string. Free the wick by scraping away the wax on the edges of the cube of steel. Tie the rings together with the string.

Because the wick is not normally seen as a string, this problem is considered an insight problem that requires seeing more than is normally noticed.
