Mr. Stombaugh. This is another piece of string, not the original.
Mr. Eisenberg. Not the original.
Mr. Stombaugh. A granny knot is a common knot, tied with two simple thumb knots. It is a very hard knot to open as opposed to the boy scout knot, or the square knot rather, which is tied in this manner. This knot is very easy to open because all one has to do is to pull one free end of it and the other free end slides out.
Mr. Eisenberg. You are referring to the so-called "boy scout" knot?
Mr. Stombaugh. It is actually not a boy scout knot but a square knot.
Mr. Eisenberg. And you tie that left over right, right over left, is that the formula?
Mr. Stombaugh. Yes; left over right and right over left.
Mr. Eisenberg. How do you spell that, by the way?
Mr. Stombaugh. G-r-a-n-n-y.
Mr. Eisenberg. The granny knot, Mr. Stombaugh, is this a common or an uncommon knot?
