Hints:

"The Two-String Problem."

Many discoveries in science, engineering and the arts mix ideas from different fields. Consider "The Two-String Problem." Two widely separated strings hang from a ceiling. Even though you can't reach both at once, is it possible to tie their ends together, using only a pair of pliers? One college student tied the pliers to one string and set it in motion like a pendulum. As it swung back and forth, he walked quickly to the other string and drew it as far forward as it would reach. Then he caught the swinging string when it passed near him and tied the two ends.
许多理工和人文科学方面的发现都融合了不同领域中的思想。以“两绳问题”为例。 两根相距甚远的绳子分别从天花板上垂下来。尽管你无法同时够到两根绳子,但有没有可能只用一把钳子就把两根绳子系到一起呢? 一位大学生把钳子系到一根绳子上,然后让它像钟摆那样摆动起来。在绳子来回摆动的时候,他迅速走到另一根绳子那儿,将其尽量向前拉。当摆动的绳子靠近他时,他把它抓住,然后将两根绳子系到一起。
