This paper discusses a question in complexity of untanglement of graph embeddings in relation to the well-known Chinese Rings puzzle. A series of examples is described in which the complexity of untanglement is conjectured to rise exponentially as a function of the structural complexity of the associated graphs. Possible relations with biological and physical systems are discussed.
