I’d get out the way I got in!
Sorry Anant, you have to get away from that castle in the distance that you woke up at. By getting in the moat you lost three of your best knights to the sharks. You were lucky to get out alive. Keep trying…
Use the Drawbridge
Sorry Drew, the darn drawbridge is broken and not long enough without the other side lowering its drawbridge as well. The answer is in your supplies. Keep trying.
I have two solutions, both require only the rope.
1. I would put rope into the water until the sharks no longer had room to swim, thus suffocating them. Then I would take a casual swim across the moat.
2. I would put enough rope into the water to absorb the water and walk across the rope, like a boss.
Chase, both of your answers are excellent and you have certainly solved this riddle. I would have made a bridge with the rope by filling the moat with it and simply walking across, but I enjoy both of your solutions. Chase is today’s winner!
throw the rope across and use it as I tight rope
