Two ropes hang from a ceiling that is 100 feet high down to the ground.
Your mission: Attain as much length of rope as you possibly can.
Your tools: A pair of clippers.
Rules: Rope is only “attained” if you cut it from the hanging rope and bring it safely with you back to the ground. If you fall from more than a 20-ft height, you will die. ‘Length of rope’ is only counted if it is at its original thickness; the rope will also only support you (plus the clippers) at its original thickness.
What is the greatest length of rope you can possibly attain?
Hint: If done correctly, you can successfully attain more than 150 feet of rope.
