The image above is a three-strand monkey's fist in 3/8" braided polyester rope. Knot diameter ~2.3 inch.

Rep points to the first student who ties one, measures the length of rope required between the two taped points, and posts a correct result (+/- 30 mm).

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
