Oh man, that was a stupid typo. I was very confused, mostly because I myself hadn’t properly read the question. Edited now; yours is a clever solution though.
Similar puzzles to this one sometimes allow `out-of-the-box’ thinking, where you use a single cut (as in: cleaving action) to cut vertically through all links in a single chain, producing 6 half-links at once.
