Blocks you blockheads!
 

You have a pair of triple blocks.

One of these has a becket and a cam cleat.

The other is a plain triple block.

Question: Given that you start at the
becket which is centered, and must
end on the middle sheave of the same
block. What is the best pattern to
follow to create a purchase system
that won't bind? [1 pt]

From the becket to one of the outside sheaves in the other block.
Then back to the same side outside sheave on the becket block
Then back to the centre sheave on the other block.
Then back to the other outside sheave on the becket block
Then back to the remaining outside sheave on the other block.
Then back to the centre sheave on the becket block
Then into the cam cleat.
