I won the ladder climb when I was a young teen. Got a giant angry-bird plush almost as big as me, proper soft fabric and proper stuffing none of that styrophone ball stuff. I'm not trained, not sure how I managed it but I was moving very slowly and meticulously like a chameleon with a lot of rapid wobbling of the ladder from side to side to correct for tiny misbalances. He still sits proudly on my laundry basket and it's probably one of my best achievements.

When you realize that corporations/politicians are blaming mexico and China for cheating Americans by manufacturing these toys when the reality is that it is American corporations cheating the American people with these dirty tricks and shifting the blame to China or Mexico instead... The same thing happened with our opioid crises - with companies like Purdue Pharmacy or McKinsey (US corporations) getting Americans hooked intentionally and then blaming companies that mass manufacture the drug compounds (used for various legal purposes and for legal analgesic purposes) for getting Americans addicted to drugs. We have to be wiser and more intelligent about this. Perhaps critical thinking was never part of the American school curriculum by design.

The education system is broken this is a perfect example. In fact some people learn better by teaching themselves rather than learning off another individual. It depends on the brain, however it's why this guy is so much better at explaining these concepts because he is not focused on any particular subject but the world as a whole. It makes a huge difference. It's surprising cause engineering grads should have recognized this over 20 years ago and somehow the courses have only been changing to be more hands on. Schoolhouses from the 1800s and before actually offered better education than today's systems, however to a degree. There are benefits and disadvantages to both sides however the idea of learning at own pace to get all details is an important detail the universities should adopt but also all other levels of education. The more it's talked about the faster change might occur but your response is a perfect example of what all engineering students experience. At least it more noticeable for us and probably any med students.

As a teenager, I worked the rope ladder game, and I don't remember ever having anyone win. The funny thing is, the guy that owned the game would sometimes walk up the rope ladder with no hands, walking up the middle of the rope ladder. Whenever he did this we would get a huge crowd to watch and then everyone would try to win. All he did was increase his profits, lol.

[@runi5413]

My older brother found another way to beat it when we were kids actually. He'd climb up the ladder half way, then interlocked his hands and feet, and then intentionally flipped the ladder over until he was hanging upside down from it. After that he just slowly pulled himself to the top to reach the prize. He never went pro though, what a shame :)

[@30AndHatingIt]

Don't they say if it flips over, you lose?

[@davidbethke5463]

I won this one at a Ren faire by jumping about half way up, then pressing my hands and feet outwards to the side ropes. Then, after it was done spinning, I made a couple of smaller jumps the same way and reached the bell at the top. (The ladder there was about at a 45° angle off horizontal.)

I was formerly a mechanic at a large amusement park for about a year, and after my inspections I would go over to the rope ladder and try to make it to the top. Despite hundreds of tries I never made it to the top regardless of my technique. I nearly made it by using only one hand and one foot opposite of each other and moving rather quickly. Those miniature milk bottles you knock down weigh around 10 pounds a piece. All those games are a scam.

I must say that after having worked in an amusement park and in several of these types of games there is a better way to handle the peach basket one. Throwing the ball at an angle (at least 45 degrees if you can manage it) so that it hits the side of the basket will dissipate the kinetic energy by having the ball roll around the inside. I was told to encourage players to do the very same thing and would demonstrate for anyone who was patient enough to listen to me before making their first throw (Not many). I would spend all day in the corner of the booth throwing the ball into the baskets and making every single one no matter how far away. It never ceased to amaze me how few would ever listen.

[@craigwheller]

The last time I tried peach basket I learned that one of the balls is weighted differently so it's almost impossible to get it to stay in the basket

[@KillrMillr7]

Now you know why our country is the way it is now, no one will listen.

Although, most of them are not expert throwers and are probably happy it even went into the basket at all.
