A complete brief (for comparison)

Steal the structure — aim, resources, sequence, roles, colour, fallback — not these exact words on the ground.

  1. Aim: people via blue uprights; tyre via rope haul onto the white beam only.
  2. Resources: I climb first, A follows, we haul; B tails the rope from white start — tyre never rests on blue.
  3. Sequence: two on the beam, haul, tyre slides on white, B climbs last.
  4. Roles: I lead climb, A haul, B tail + last.
  5. Fallback: if haul sticks, plank as a white-only slide from a person already on the beam — still not on the upright.
