How far can you lower a rope down a hole?

No tricks.

I’d imagine the limitation would be the length of your arm?  whistle:

No the limitation is on the length of the rope of course!

I refer the not so honourable gentleman to the answer I gave earlier.  Although it would be nice to have it confirmed as correct. How about it?

What, this one?

Quote from: Bikini Girl
As far as I can work out using basic maths, the distance would depend on the breaking strain of the rope. Once the length of rope down the hole equals the weight of the breaking strain, then it would  ....er...break.
