Margot Mathews was running for life. She was being chased by a group of cannibals after she had 'borrowed' two of their gold ingots. She had been running for quite some time, carrying the metals, until she reached a rope bridge, which said that it would only hold 125 pounds. Margot was already 110 pounds, and both ingots weighed 9 pounds each. She wasn't wearing any shoes or anything heavier than her body weight. There is no time for two trips.

How did she make it across, and live to tell the tale?
