A little riddle / Creative Challenge: Pressure Plates in a Dungeon Question
This is an initial post for the proposal of a new community: Creative Challenges.
Please feel free to answer here or post more questions in the spirit of this one. Do not restrict yourself on the form of the question. Just post a question! As you can see in the proposal, there are several "Specials" mentioned which will allow certain rules that are very much less strict than on "other" sites. There can also be more such categories. All we need are more posts! Don't be discouraged by the lack of it! Just join in on building something new!
Imagine Sir Kunibold, a knight and adventurer, enjoying his favorite hobby: Dungeon exploration!
He is a few levels deep into the lair of some ominous villain, as he enters a room finding a door he needs to open. But this is prevented by a mechanism involving two pressure plates.
-
He figures that the plates need to be pressed in the most synchronized fashion possible
-
Kunibold is alone and cannot recruit any other creatures or summon them
-
In the corners of the room are various piles of stuff to search and find things he needs to overcome this obstacle
What does Kunibold need to do in order to open the door?
Describe your blueprint, machinery or actions that Kunibold needs to perform.
- You can come up with (almost) any items you need for your plans
- Available items/materials must "typically" be found in a dungeon
- You need to list all items with a numbered list
- The less items you need to maximize the synchronized pressing, the better you have helped Kunibold!
Infos
- Plates must be pressed at the same time not one after another
- Pressure plates are 60x60 cm in size (2x2 ft), 3m apart (10ft)
- Pressure plate's pressure needed to press is 10kg each (22lbs)
- The door is magically, indestructible sealed and can only be passed if the plates are used to open it
(While voting is encouraged, this is just for fun, no contest)
1 answer
Example: Jumping on a board
Items: 1 wooden board, 3m in length
Lay board across the pressure plates, then jump on it.
Accuracy: Not amazingly accurate. Very dependent on the right spot to jump on.
