Each scenario presents a real situation. Your job is to select the configuration that best fits given the stated constraints. Here is what the colors mean.
Green — preferred answer. The conventional first choice given the constraints. What most experienced riggers would reach for in this situation.
Purple — defensible. This could work and an experienced rigger might choose it. There is a more conventional answer given these specific constraints. Read why — then keep looking.
Red — not appropriate here. The stated constraints make this the wrong choice. Read the feedback and try again.
Explore mode. Once you find the preferred answer, explore all six configurations to understand why each one fits, is defensible, or is not appropriate for this specific situation.
Instructor mode. Defensible answers surface their discussion question immediately. You control when the preferred answer is revealed. After revealing — use Explore all to walk the class through every configuration and the reasoning behind each outcome.
Ask students to predict which configuration fits before selecting. Commitment before feedback deepens the learning.
Where are you working?
Select your terrain. The terrain is your entry point — the stated constraints within each scenario drive the configuration decision.
