after a few beverages, many people agreed that there were a few ways to
solve for this game.

many people pointed out the multi motion of knee bend, leg straight pull
rope, actions a child uses to swing on a swing.  some people envisioned
designing a bot to mimic this.

this is much harder from a standing point, and not being able to touch
the floor.

I have every faith that this unruly lot will come up with a few neat ideas.
