Making it happen
Today’s puzzle
You are on the roof of a 400 meters high building, isolated, with a 300-meters long rope. There is something on the side of the roof where you can tie the rope. At half the height, that is 200 meters high above the ground, there is a platform where you can stay and where you can also tie the rope to continue descending. How do you get off the building ?

I’d tie the rope around my waist, have it over that ’something’ and hold it with my hands. I can easily descend to the platform then just pull it (it’s not tied to the roof), and repeat again the same process.

Having it in half you’d get only to 400-150m but still 50m down to the platform.
