I may be clinically insane, but after thinking about the problem for 5 minutes, I might have:
*used a six-sided or open-ended four-sided model for each cable
*once: relatively snapped the "vater" cable's x,y coordinates to center + offset of
--the bottom vertices of the figure eight rig on the right loop
--and dropped the z coordinate of the "vater" cable down a bit
*once: relatively snapped the "weight" cable's x,y coordinates to center + offset of
--the bottom vertices of the figure eight rig on the left loop
--and dropped the z coordinate of the "weight" cable down a bit
*once: snapped the four top vertices (x,y,z) and the four bottom vertices (x, y only) of the "vater" cable
--to the attachment vertices of the figure eight rig right loop
--using eight vec_for_vertex + vec_to_mesh instructions
*once: snapped the four top vertices (x,y,z) and the four bottom vertices (x, y only) of the "weight" cable
--to the attachment vertices of the figure eight rig left loop
--using eight vec_for_vertex + vec_to_mesh instructions
*lazy implementation: move the "vater" -distZ
--move the "weight" up + "vater" distZ
*post move: snapped the bottom vertices of the "vater" cable to the top cable attachment vertices of the "vater"
--using four vec_for_vertex + vec_to_mesh instructions ignoring x,y and using only z
*post move: snapped the bottom vertices of the "weight" cable to the top cable attachment vertices of the "weight"
--using four vec_for_vertex + vec_to_mesh instructions ignoring x,y and using only z
Ok, certainly that wouldn't work and I'm still a madman.

Did I explain this good enough or do you need a graphic or something to go along with it?
Quoted ulillillia (-5 pts for spelling the name from memory).
Some of the dummies in the class (like me) need the graphics but don't really need an excuse to want to look at purty drawins.
edit: Seriously.
