How many minimum links need to be cut in a chain having 23 links to seperate it into single links..

Answer / sridhar ramachandran

I think its 11 cuts, i cut a ring i can seperate two ring
from the chain ( suppose i cut the second ring in the chain
i get 1st ring and second ring seperated from the chain.)
(1st ring cut and second ring cut , so its easy to seperate
them apart) similarily if i cut 10 rings i will get 20
rings removed from the chain(10 rings un cut and 10 rings
cut) remaining 3 rings together if i cut the middle ring
all three rings get seperated. So, i think 11 cuts would be
the minimum number of cuts needed.
