Alright, so in my biology class a new lab was introduced called The Rope Problem.
Basically, you and a partner are cuffed by rope, and then intertwined with each other. I can't find out the answer to it, and it's driving me insane. Anyone know how to get out of this mess?
I. Objective: Separate two individuals joined together by two strands of rope
II. Directions:
Tie a small loop onto the two ends of each rope. Do this such that you can slip the rope over your hands and onto your wrists.
Person “A”: Take one of the lengths of rope and slip the loop of one side onto your right hand, the other loop onto your left.
Person “B”: Take your rope and slip one of the loops onto your left hand. Next, pass the free end of your rope between your partner’s rope and his/her body. Last, slip the other loop onto your right hand.
You may now attempt to separate yourselves; however, you may not:
a. cut the ropes
b. untie the knots
c. slip the loops off your hands
Yes!!! It is physically possible!!!
