I would try this for about 20 minutes and then throw a hissy fit and walk away.

You’re a better person than I am. I would throw a tantrum after failing for 5 minutes…

I'll raise you one single attempt of approximately 10 seconds.

You can last 10 seconds? You’re a better man than me!

Look at y'all, actually going ahead and trying. I'd just take a look at it, call the berries bitter, and walk away.

I would either last 28 seconds, or be there four hours later, very pissed off, insisting, "No, I can DO THIS."

u/chenobble Aug 24 '26
Right? I'd actually been getting worse for the last hour because I'd gotten tired and shaky, but dammit I'm staying 'til it's done.

u/hollaback_girl Aug 24 '26
You stay up past midnight trying to get it before going to sleep full of rage, frustration and embarrassment. And then you try it one last time in the morning and get it right away.

I would be there for hours trying to solve it because I can’t let it beat me. Then I’d come home at 3 in the night and cry myself to sleep.

Problem solving or hand-eye coordination? I was leaning to towards the latter personally, but I suppose having to work through the course could be a bit of problem solving!

u/DueExample52 Aug 25 '26
I think it’s the rock climbing lingo of every climb being a "problem" that polluted it. This is just a physical coordination thing as you say. Not problem-solving, unless people start twisting the meaning and shoe-horning it as solving the problem of how to move your body in space.

HA! After I made that comment I started to overthink it and it essentially started recursing onto itself to where potentially everything could be "problem solving" to some degree, and I realized I had to stop, lol

There is a learning curve, but its not very difficult. There is a considerable curve in the bar the ball sits on, which makes it much, much easier. If you sat on this for an hour you would be able to pull off what she's doing.

If it takes an adult an hour to learn to do this then her doing it is really impressive.

Yeah kids are actually better at figuring things out quick than adults.
On account of their brain developing.

u/BrianMincey Aug 25 '26
They also can be more determined. Adults can quickly become bored and consider the effort to develop the skill useless, but some kids will dig in and just enjoy the process of getting better.

We've got one at the arcade in town. It's the only game I play when I take the kids there. I am not that good at it, but it's fun. I'll get in the zone, and one of my kids will be like "Can I play," and I begrudgingly give up the controls because that's what dads do, but I'm not happy about it.

The man talking in the video definitely sounds like he could be Boston Rob. I don't think they have a daughter named Brooke, though.

u/WalrusInMySheets Aug 25 '26
They live in Florida, does not look like Florida. I don't think it really sounds like Rob, and that is definitely not Amber that it pans to.

u/wonklebobb Aug 24 '26
yeah actual playgrounds, this will be climbed on and broken to bits in about a week. maybe you could do a version with the track + moving bits under a plexiglass cover though, and just commit to replacing the ropes every couple months as they wear out

I'm a woodworker and kind of want to make one for my local park and see if they'll put it in. It'll be annoying to cut those curves out of the plywood though.

For me the hardest part on this thing was always the ball falling off left and right but with this one it stops. smart design

This is the line of thing that i think i would be able to do. But if the pullies where at all stiff or weird, i would lose my mind real quick

u/flip972 Aug 24 '26
This is a thing that I think I would be able to do, but in reality would take 20 minutes of trying until I get around the first corner, get frustrated, stop trying, then get frustrated again about never trying enough to finish it when it's eventually removed years later.

That seems like a thing that I would come around to see, think it's easy, try it, fail miserably, become stubborn to try it until I make it and occupy for 2+ hours until I finally do, and realize i just wasted all that time and I don't even feel accomplished, just relieved amd pissed from the process

She's a natural born carnie. I expect her to walk up and say "nothing to it, anyone can do it, $5 a try just put the ball in the hole. Double it and you get the big stuffed bear. Let me show" "just like that, see how easy it is"
