Jack Keane Hints
The thugs have counterbalanced the platform. How can I shake them off?
1 of 8: The thugs are hanging onto the rope on the other side of the platform, and their weight is equal to that of you, plus the platform.
2 of 8: If you wanted to continue going down, you would need to provide either more weight on your side, or less weight on their side.
3 of 8: Neither of these things are possible at this point -- you need to think about this the opposite way around.
4 of 8: If you wanted to dispatch of the two thugs (who are currently hanging from a rope several hundred feet off the ground), the easiest way to do that would be to REMOVE some of the weight from your side of the platform.
5 of 8: You aren't going to be able to remove the most obvious source of weight (yourself), but there is another hefty item on the platform that you could remove.
6 of 8: The large wooden barrel needs to be pushed off the platform.
