This consists of a bowline on a bight (Knot 16) with one short   41
       standing part spliced around one of the eyes. The other standing
       part is made fast and the challenge is, to untie the bowline on a
       bight, without hauling the standing part through or releasing the   The Untiable
       splice. It is not impossible and a clue to the method used is given
                                                              Knot
       in the introduction.
       Method
       There are no set movements to be  made. The knot is kept loose
       and with the standing part taut, the whole is tumbled over and
       over towards the end of the rope.  In this manner the tums of
       which the original knot was composed are transferred to the
       standing part and the last turn, into the eye of the splice itself.
