That and the longer rappel is one I said would work but my judgement call was that it was too dangerous.
After all this shit, he comes to the same conclusions as me.
1. Rapping with two strand is too dangerous. Thus rendering his 30 feet with 5 arguement to be shit.
2. Rapping with 4 strands works but is a bad idea.
He needed to rap 30 feet and pass knots with 2 strands. I don't blame him for not doing it, I wouldn't.
Edited to add, I was about 200' up free soloing today when I got a phone call informing me that majid had posted a video.
I had the Captain Majid theme song in my head the rest of the day.

And that was the only video that counted as I'd already confirmed that rapping with 4 strands was totally possible. This exercise only confirmed my findings, not debunked them. My only flaw was the actual title of the thread, I did not debunk the bluejay theory, if anything I may have confirmed that it is (barely) plausible. It'sa the 30 in 5 idea that Majid and I are both dismissing as horseshit. However it rolled off the tongue so nicely that I titled it incorrectly anyway.
FTR, i've yet to see this "list" of majoridiot's rc.n00b friends.
I'm sure it would fit on the head of a pin though.

Angry
Grow up,learn something or nothing and accept the fact that you lost and do not ever try to challenge me on something you have no knowledge about.
Beside that, do not ever say that "this was no personal attack on Majid or whatever"
In fact, your point was to just to do personal attack but you ended up with bloody noise in your own court.
My piece of advice to you; try to learn something that I do not know and then come back to challenge me.
till then, you are officially a looser in RC till proven otherwise.

Translation for angry: "You failed due to lack of skills and knowledge of creating friction on your tool." Angry -- sadly, you lose here. Majid is undeniably the uber-master of friction and dry tooling. Did you read his rebuttal? He basically agreed with everything I said and declared himself the winner.

Except, of course, he didn't lose. You accomplished a ~20 foot rappel on static line pulled from an 11mm rope (who the hell would have an 11mm static line climbing?). You used twice as many strands as were realistic, from a different type of rope than is realistic, and rapped a much shorter distance than your original claim.
You may have confirmed the plausibility of rappelling on strands removed from a rope's core, but you have IN NO WAY confirmed the magnitude of your original claims - 30 meters on 5 feet of rope left after your lead line had been cut.
Car analogies are so over-used, but I'm going to use one anyway. Your claiming you won would be like Ford advertising a car that can go 300 miles on a tank of vegetable oil, then claiming "mission accomplished" when they came out with a car that gets 200 miles on a tank of vegetable-oil derived biodiesel. Sure, it might be similar on the surface, but it's still confirming that the original claim is horseshit.
You haven't won. Take your arrogant ass back to your corner and draw some red and green arrows.

Lets not forget that majid also used "5 + feet" of that 11 mm static line. In majid speak that could be anywhere from 5'-1" to 5'-11"
majid was supposed to:
Rappel 30 feet on 5 feet of dynamic rope using 2 strands of the ropes core.
what majid did:
Rappelled 20 feet on "5+ feet" (majids words) of 11mm static line using 4 strands of the core.

You are right. He probably could have gotten away with it had he not been such a cocky-dickweed after. If he was going to go to all that effort at least stick to the conditions that were originally presented.

Why are people posting the exact same thing on two different threads? Kind of takes away from reading each one.

Well actually I'm posting it on three different threads because someone started two other threads dealing with this topic. Well technically someone started one other thread dealing with this topic. The third thread regarding this topic seems to deal more with anal sex.
Now you don't have to go between three threads to get all the information.

Majid, Angry, et al.:
The conversations regarding the tests in the Lab are now spread across three forums in six threads. The Lab is the place to show your methods and results of your hypothesis and those threads are doing well on thier own. However, please refrain from creating more threads about this topic.
Also, a reminder before it becomes any more heated:
Personal attacks will not be tolerated towards any member of this site. If you come off as vindictive or crass you will recieve a time out from the forum. This is your only warning.
