imagine the scenario when starting cross strings at B9->D9. 1) if i tie off on B8 or B7. and pull 30lbs at D9. what is the tension outside B9? 2) if i weave 2 strings B9->D9, D10->B10, then i pull once at B10, what is the tension outside B9? answers must be in pounds of tension and must be a single number and not a range. the formula for closest will be the sum of the absolute of difference. the value will be taken from measurement from my machine. the value will be taken 1 minute after my WISE beeps to let the tension settle. setting will be fast speed, no pre-stretch, constant pull.

actually, to make this more fun. i am going to add a prize for one who gets the closest answer. the prize will be 10metre length of Zymax String of your choice (ZM62/65/67/70) ZM62 will be cut from a reel. ZM65/67/70 will be a package. the formula for "closeness" will be the sum of the absolute of difference. the value will be taken from measurement from my machine.
since i added the prize after yan.v posted. he can repost his answer. answer must be in lbs and must be a number and not a range.
more rules / clarifications. deadline is 11.59pm PST, 31st March, 2012. entry answers must be posted in this thread. one answer per person. if multiple answers, the FIRST answer posted will be used.
Is pre stretch on? #2 Please define double pull. Is it 1) Pulling string on B10 at 30lb till your regular tension head stop? 2) Pulling string on B10 at 30lb. release then pull it again at 30lb till your tension head stop? Thank you.
weave 2 strings. one pull only at B10 at 30lbs till tension head stops. i will post a video of the process soon.
more clarifications: the value will be taken from measurement from my machine. the value will be taken 1 minute after my WISE beeps to let the tension settle. setting will be fast speed, no pre-stretch, constant pull.
i have clarified the wording on the original post. whoever posted their answers, feel free to repost it...
Do I understand this correctly - a test to see if pulling the second cross, and leaving out the first, results in tension loss on the second cross? My guesses, for the record, are 29.6 and 28.6, but I am interested in the result (if I've gleaned the correct meaning).
