                                                       Mine Hoist Problem, Hint #3

Introduction

The original Mine Hoist Problem was posted 23 August, and it is not 10 October, over 6 weeks later. Thus far, I have not received any attempts at a solution. In this third (and probably last) hint, I want to explore some new ideas and also re-work much of the second hint in vector form. It will be useful to have the previous hints and original problem statement in hand as you read this.
