all have played on in our childhood, but it is very tall. A view of this obstacle

will be very narrow. In this, the lighter and fitter candidates must go first and

this obstacle, helping is not possible. Normally, the GTOs, through penalties

of various kinds as explained earlier, will make sure that teams arrive at the
finish line more or less together. Hence, winning is not really important in
