Puzzle written on a pencil...

"Good luck if you solve this puzzle, but seven years bad luck to untie, cut, burn or break the string or the pencil. Easiest way, cut the buttonhole."

PS: I think the pencil might not be complete.

Scratch this...puzzle is useless. As its not attached to something.

Total spoiler.

I don't understand what the question is?

The puzzle is to loop the string through a buttonhole on a piece of clothing and then challenge someone to remove it without cutting the string.

It's easy when you know how it's done. Google it and I'm sure there'll be YouTube videos

Edit: too late, you figured it out for yourself

That has got to be the easiest puzzle ever.

Sorry, it's just that I love a good puzzle, especially a topological one.
