SOLVING RUBIK’S MAGIC

When you first get a Rubik’s Cube, it is already solved. The objective is to scramble it and then solve it again yourself. Aft least this way you see the thing solve once, even if you never manageto solve it again. By contrast Rubik’s Magic comes out of the box unsolved, and if you wish to see it solved, you have to do it yourself. To solve this puzzle you really have to do 2 things. You must correctly arrange the design so that the chain pieces are linked and you must change the shape of the puzzle.

CHANGE THE UNLINKED CHAIN ON THE STARTING 2-BY-4 SHAPE TO THE LINKED CHAIN ON THE FINAL SHAPE, A 3-BY-3 SHAPE MISSING A CORNER.
