Abstract
A system and method for a knot game. The game includes a weight coupled to a flexible line. The flexible line has an upstream end and a downstream end which his coupled to the weight. The game includes gripping the flexible line at a position upstream from the weight. Thereafter, the weight is dropped and allowed to remove the slack in the line. Then a force is applied to create slack in the line in an attempt to tie a knot in the flexible line.
Claims6
A method of playing a game with at least a first user, the game comprising the steps of:
- providing an apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- a flexible line having an upstream end and a downstream end;
- and
- a weight coupled to said downstream end of said flexible line;
- said at least first user carrying out the steps of:
- a) holding the apparatus and gripping said flexible line at a position upstream from said weight;
- b) causing said weight to create tension in said flexible line;
- c) applying an upward force on said flexible line to create slack causing the weight to move upward;
- d) bouncing the weight upward so that a knot is formed along the length of said flexible line.
A method of playing a game by conducting a competitive game between at least a first user and a second user, the game comprising the steps of:
- providing an apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- a flexible line having an upstream end and a downstream end;
- and
- a weight coupled to said downstream end of said flexible line;
- said at least first user carrying out the steps of:
- a) holding the apparatus and gripping said flexible line at a position upstream from said weight;
- b) causing said weight to create tension in said flexible line;
- c) applying an upward force on said flexible line to create slack causing the weight to move upward;
- d) bouncing the weight upward so that a first knot is formed along the length of said flexible line;
- measuring the position of said first tied knot from the bottom of the weight, and
- recording the measured distance for the first tied knot;
- said second user carrying out the steps of:
- a) through d);
- measuring the position of said second tied knot from the bottom of the weight, and
- recording the measured distance for the second tied knot;
- and
- determining if the first or second knot is closest or alternatively furthest from the weight.
