Using a knotted rope to take soundings of depths can be imprecise, as the knots may not accurately indicate depth if they shift or if the rope stretches. Additionally, the method can be labor-intensive and time-consuming, especially in deep waters, where the rope can become unwieldy. Furthermore, environmental factors like currents or waves can affect the accuracy of the reading, leading to inconsistent results.
Jōmon pottery is accepted to be the oldest known Japanese pottery. It is a rope pattern, and is as old as 10000 BCE.
To untangle a knotted rope efficiently and effectively, start by identifying the main knot and any smaller tangles. Gently work on each tangle separately, using your fingers to loosen the knots. If needed, use a pointed object like a needle or a small stick to help untangle tight knots. Patience and persistence are key to successfully untangling a rope.
Cornrows are very tight plaits. Dreadlocks are knotted, matted hair that form into rope-like locks.
Apples work somewhat but rawhide or a heavy knotted rope work better to clean a dogs' teeth.
