0024: Keyhole to Hell

This puzzle uses the similar basic concept as the design "Sultans Examination". So both are a tanglement puzzle using a wire construction and a piece of rope that has to be maneuvered into a special position within the wire. For this puzzle "Keyhole to Hell" I improved the previous one by the following two differences:

Here you can see a picture of the design "Keyhole to Hell" in its starting position (disassembled):

Keyhole to Hell: starting position

The name for that puzzle was given due to obvious reasons: The shape of the wire is similar to an old-fashioned keyhole whereas the difficulty of the puzzle adds the expression "to Hell".
Of course there is an 'obvious' position the rope has to be put into the wire construction: the rope goes behind the middle crossing with each end of the rope sticking out of a hole - the end with the slice goes through the round hole and the end with the ball goes through the rectangular hole. But how can it be achieved? That is the puzzle!

Keyhole to Hell: one of the most interesting objectives

In addition to the puzzle itself it is supplied with a small stand where the wire construction and the rope can be put up on a hook for display.
