I'm curious as to how they determined a knot--i.e., in assessing the entanglement
within their shaken container. For much of what would count as a knot practically
--e.g., a Fig.8 loopknot--is a non-knot mathemitcally (any such knot TIB (Tiable In
the Bight). Since they say that they used mathematical forumlas to do so, that implies
some way of uniting the ends: this path, too, is of key interest, should an end lie
amid the mess!
As for getting a medal, Dr. Jones has--the biggest one possible, no less, 1990.
