See Saws/Teeter Totter
First introduced in UK series 6, the see saws required contenders to climb up one side, then run down the other without losing their balance. The Teeter Totter made its debut in the US in the second season of the revival. In the US revival, contenders are not required to remain standing while climbing to the midpoint, and are required to start again should they fall off prior to tilting the Teeter Totter. In the original UK version, contenders had to touch the white section marked on the end of the see saw before getting off.

Famous quotes containing the words saws and/or totter:
“Remember thee?
Ay, thou poor ghost, whiles memory holds a seat
In this distracted globe. Remember thee?
Yea, from the table of my memory
I’ll wipe away all trivial fond records,
All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past
That youth and observation copied there,
And thy commandment all alone shall live
Within the book and volume of my brain,”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The head must bow, and the back will have to bend,
Wherever the darkey may go;
A few more days, and the trouble all will end,
In the field where the sugar-canes grow.
A few more days for to tote the weary load,—
No matter, ‘t will never be light;
A few more days till we totter on the road:—
Then my old Kentucky home, good-night!”
—Stephen Collins Foster (1826–1884)
