cantilever. It will be simple cantilevers as shown in pictures 2 to 6. Look for
such arrangements on the ground. Also remember that the entry into the
obstacle will be somewhat narrow and hence, not many candidates can enter
simultaneously. Here is where you must take the lead and enter the obstacle

and look for one or more arrangements as explained above. In case you are
unable to enter, you must at least give ideas to the candidates who are ahead.

The GTO will notice that you have workable ideas and will handle the
candidates in such a way that you are able to move up and show your ideas.

The third obstacle

This is the most important obstacle of the PGT. The entry into this obstacle
will be the narrowest and only 2 to 3 candidates will be able to enter the

obstacle. You must try to be one of the front runners. Though the idea will be
based on a cantilever, it will not be obvious and you will have to use more

resources to make the arrangement. You may have to construct a cantilever,
i.e. make a fulcrum as well as create the arrangement to fix the plank/balli at
one end. Complex cantilevers are shown in pictures 7 to 17. Please observe
closely, in pictures 7 to 14, two helping materials are used of which one is

used to improvise either the fulcrum or the effort. In the last three pictures,
three helping materials are used to make the cantilever. These are higher

order ideas and only the best can display such ideas.
