TOPOLOGICAL BONDAGE ADVENTURE or MOBIUS/MOEBIUS
BOWLINE
( in part inspired by by Brion TOSS : Chapter 11 'Tricks and Puzzles'
of
THE RIGGING HANDBOOK (2004) that I just opened again these recently
passed days
Möbius Bowline : a quite inadequate name (nothing
to related it to the
Moebius band )
given by Brion TOSS for reasons unknown and unfathomable to me. (He
gives only
the
single loop.)
A rather low difficulty but interesting puzzle and a quite secure
bowline : the' ultimately
completely ' secured bowline to ape some hyperbolic titles
of books
on knots ( The Complete.... The Ultimate....) !
Will
you be able to start from :
--- this
situation and arrive at that one ?
or if you prefer do it the other way around. (That
to This
)
Constraint
:
the extremity of the SPart is either a fixed point or
with a device that will not go through the spliced eye (with the
bottle cork) .
Now can you make (identical constraints) it with
double
loops (get inspiration from
ABoK #1072)
Help (cheating sheet)
:
- solution of single loop rest on #ABoK 46
- solution of double loop rest on #ABoK 456
