@blackspot - correct
Another extremely easy one -
A Goldsmith has a chain which is broken into 5 equal sections of 3 links each. What is the minimum number of links he has to open and solder to repair the chain

@mince - The goldsmith has to make it into one long chain, not necessarily into a loop, i think i should have mentioned that before
@eastcoast - Just think about it

@k4m!k4ze it's 3!
Edit: one of the 5 chains of 3 link break into 3 open links and use these 3 open links to link together the 4 remaining chains
