There's something beautiful about simple low tech solutions that require cooperation or blunt force - even if it doesn't work. I once dropped a car into a creek in a third world country and it was deep down a ravine off a cow path. In America, that thing would still be rusting away. But a couple trucks, some super winches and two big guys working for four hours moving it inch by inch by leveraging trees and rocks later and... Thing came out with hardly a scratch. Again, don't know if it will work, but love these types of solutions as a first line of attack before some over architected solve. Im sure there are some good engineering analogs as well.
