Puzzling

Okay, I know I should be getting back into Ramadan reporting, but I can't seem to focus on that right now. You see, I've bought a puzzle ring.
We went to the gold souk and sold some old gold pieces that I've had laying around. Now is a great time to sell old gold...high prices, weak dollar. (David actually walked out of the jewelry store with money IN his pocket... he seemed dazed and disoriented... almost in shock.)
I've always wanted a puzzle ring, and so I used some of the proceeds to finally buy one. Puzzle rings originated with the harems. Only the sultan would know the solution to the puzzle guaranteeing the wife would not take off the ring.

All this is well and good, but I dropped the puzzle ring and it fell all to bits and I have no idea how to put it back together. There are entire websites devoted to complicated directions on how to put it back together. The gold souk guy said that he has been selling them for 13 years and still hasn't figured them out. I had a dinner party last night and there were some engineers from the office there and each one took a stab at it. They can construct giant oil platforms in the middle of the ocean, but my ring stumped them.
If any of my faithful readers knows how to work one or knows a sultan...please let me know.
