Suppose there's a bell tower with a single bell at the top and 2 ropes hanging down to ring it. (Doesn't matter how long they are, but let's just say they're 50 ft). You're an expert climber and want to steal the ropes. All you have are your hands and a knife, and you can swing back and forth between ropes. How much of the ropes can you safely get away with?
Bell tower math riddle?
