T3 Trimming Exercise

This document discusses the process of trimming or simplifying two everyday objects: a toothbrush and a skipping rope. It explains that trimming involves analyzing the components and functions of an object, then removing unnecessary parts based on set rules. For a toothbrush, the trimming rule applied was that the bristles alone can perform the function of removing plaque from teeth. For a skipping rope, two potential trimmed versions are presented: either removing the handle or removing both the handle and hand, as the rope itself can provide the function of exercise.
