3. Colour Rule This rule implies that the structures placed in the out of bound area, if it is
painted white, it is inbound for candidates, the helping material and the load; which means
it can be touched by all three. If it is painted red, it is out bound for all three; which means
it cannot be touched by the candidates, the helping material and the load; and if it painted

blue, it is inbound for the candidates but out of bound for the helping material and the load.
Which means it can be touched by the candidates but cannot be touched by the helping
material and the load. Note that the candidate can hold the load/helping material while
standing on a blue coloured structure. The only condition is that the load/helping material
should not touch the blue colour. Remember, violation of this rule can either mean that you
lack grasp or may mean that you are casual. Both these conclusions are bad for you. Hence
do not break this rule.

4. Rule of Rigidity This rule implies that no two rigid helping materials can be tied together

for making an extension. Since rigid helping materials are normally the planks and ballis,
this rule means that you cannot tie plank and balli together. However, you can keep one on
top of the other and also you can tie the rigid helping material to the structure. Violation of
this rule will indicate lack of grasp or casualness.

5. Rule of Infinity This rule implies that the start line and the finish line should be imagined
to be extending to infinity on either side. This means that you cannot walk through the sides

of the task and have to tackle the obstacle head on. Also, be careful that you do not step into
the area inside of the start line even if it is to the right of where the start/finish line finishes.
This rule is explained with the example of a sketch below.

In the above sketch, even though the candidate is standing to the right of the start/finish line it will
be seen as standing in the out of bound area as he is expected to imagine the start and finish line to be
extending to infinity on either side.

Construction

Each task will normally have three approaches. You can use any of the approaches. Once the group
has chosen a particular approach, stick to that approach. Normally the difficulty level of all the three
approaches will be the same and each approach will have at least three solutions. Hence, changing
the approach often will mean you are not consistent. Stick to the chosen approach and look for ways
