L. Kauffman conjectured that a particular solution of the Chinese Rings puzzle is the simplest possible. We prove his conjecture by using low-dimensional topology and group theory. We notice also a surprising connection between the Chinese Rings and Habiro moves (related to Vassiliev invariants).

This study investigates whether the head of the Chinese adjective compounds is on the left or right or on both sides.

Using the ABB type of adjectives as evidence, I argued that the head of the Chinese adjectives is more...
