    Bet you think you are pretty smart with that huge day rate?

    but there is a good chance you are tying your shoe laces wrong!

      I appear to be tying the strong form already. I make the first bow on the right and the loop around that in a natural way. This knot stays transverse with the shoe when stressed. Whereas if I continue starting with the right bow as before and instead loop around it the unnatural way round, the knot goes to tulip and rotates to the longitudinal direction when stressed.

        You can achieve the same effect by reversing the direction of the initial intertwining of laces. I thought everyone knew this.
        While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

          For an absurdly dull subject that was entertaining, good find.

              As a kid I was taught that method shown in video and thought it was daft. I have been doing it my own way ever since. Double both ends equally, tie those loops with normal knot. Simples.

                Goon: How many years experience do you have tying your shoelaces?
                Me: Well, let me see, I spend about two minutes a day on it... multiply by ten thousand days... um, very nearly a whole month's experience I bet! That's pretty good!
                Goon: I'm sorry, our client is looking for twenty years experience with KNOTS.
                Me: You don't understand! That's not the core skill! That part of the job description is trivial like reading email or writing HTML.
                Goon: Er, is it? Sure, ok, I know that, but it's not about what I want. It's what my client wants. How many years experience do you have reading email?
