How feasible is this theory on creating a Gordian Knot?
- Separate two ends of one long length of rope to its individual strands (About 20cm from each end), and braid the two ends together, making a seamless, never-ending loop.
- With a second rope, separate the strands and weave half of these around the first loop, braiding the ends together, with the first loop.
- Do this several more times to get an increasingly thick rope/loop, but still thin enough to manipulate.
- “Tie” the long thick rope/loop into a “mess” of knots, carefully concealing the braided ends, deep within the “mess of knots”.
Will this make an untieable knot? Explain how you would make an
untieable (Gordian) Knot
