a friend gave it to me ±15 years ago. He thought it was impossible to get the ring out. Maybe it's faulty and they cut the rope shorter than they should have.

We don't know what this is 🤷

a baby toy?

Knowing these you'll probably have to thread the ring through the slit at least once.

I bet the real trouble will be once you solve it remembering how you did it and getting the ring back on.

Not just the ring, also the disc.

~~Edit: I'm not good at visualising, but it looks like mive the ring to the left over the slit, put the disc through the slit and then move the ring back.~~

Second edit: probably not.
