Here you have one match and this thick rope, which I am weighting with a stone and hanging from a tree. Burn through this rope at the spot between these two knots (which are 1 cm apart). Do not touch the rope with your hands. Leave the knots untouched by the fire. I will wait there, under that great oak, until sunset.
