	Gordian Knot - Crystalinks
		The Gordian Knot is a metaphor for an intractable problem, solved by a bold stroke ("cutting the Gordian knot").
		It was further prophesied by an oracle that the one to untie the knot would become the king of Asia, or at least so claimed the publicists in the circle of Alexander the Great.

	Untying the Gordian Knot
		Thus, the Gordian knot was most likely constructed by first splicing the two ends of a length of rope to form a loop, and then "tying" the loop up (i.e.
