A rope with knotted cords, which could have been of different lengths and colors, was primarily used as a calculator. This ancient calculation tool was used by Inca, called quipu. It was also used for recording and storing information. Quipu consisted of ropes that were knoted and represented numbers. The smallest number in, for example, the two-digit number 26 would be represented by six touching knots at the free end of the rope, and two touching knots with a distance in relation to the first six would come on top of it on the hung rope.

"Obtains information or biospecimens through intervention or interaction with the individual, and uses, studies, or analyzes the information or biospecimens; or Obtains, uses, studies, analyzes, or generates identifiable private information or identifiable biospecimens."

The experiment on the second option fulfill the criteria because:

- The experiment should use studies or analytics to obtain some sort of private information from the subjects. (such as test scores and subjects' anxiety level)

- The experiment should make some sort of intervention that can be used to measure its hypothesis. (the test above could divide the subjects into two groups. First group of female subjects could be make to take the test without the presence of male subjects while the second group do the test with the presence of male subjects)

- The researchers need to interact with the subject in a certain way.

(meaning that the subjects can't be anonymous to the researchers)
