Hold the cord with both hands thumb and forefingers on the coil to either side of the kink.
Twist the right hand in the direction shown.
This will cause one coil to move from the right side of the kink to the left side.
One turn for every coil on the right hand end of the cord.
Attempting to do this resulted in an even worse tangle.
In the interests of full disclosure, I should point out that there are
two kinks in the cord (see attached photo), which brings up the interesting philosophical conundrum of whether the coil anomalies
always appear in pairs, and if so whether the correct solution is to manipulate the cord so that the two anomalies converge and neutralize each other.
Of course the simple solution would be to go to Fry's and buy another cord...
