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:
“Certain anthropologists hold that man, having discovered tools, ceased to evolve biologically. Animals, never having discovered them, continue to fashion drills out of their beaks, oars out of their hind feet, wings out of their forefeet, suits of armor out of their hides, levers out of their horns, saws out of their teeth. Whether this be true or not, all authorities agree that man is the tool-using animal. It sets him off from the rest of the animal kingdom as drastically as does speech.”
—Stuart Chase (1888–1985)
“Children demand that their heroes should be fleckless, and easily believe them so: perhaps a first discovery to the contrary is less revolutionary shock to a passionate child than the threatened downfall of habitual beliefs which makes the world seem to totter for us in maturer life.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
