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.
許多理工和人文科學(xué)方面的發(fā)現(xiàn)都融合了不同領(lǐng)域中的思想。以“兩繩問(wèn)題”為例。 兩根相距甚遠(yuǎn)的繩子分別從天花板上垂下來(lái)。盡管你無(wú)法同時(shí)夠到兩根繩子,但有沒(méi)有可能只用一把鉗子就把兩根繩子系到一起呢? 一位大學(xué)生把鉗子系到一根繩子上,然后讓它像鐘擺那樣擺動(dòng)起來(lái)。在繩子來(lái)回?cái)[動(dòng)的時(shí)候,他迅速走到另一根繩子那兒,將其盡量向前拉。當(dāng)擺動(dòng)的繩子靠近他時(shí),他把它抓住,然后將兩根繩子系到一起。
