  A classical two-stranded rope can be made by twisting two identical strands
together under strain. Despite being conceptually simple, the contact-equations
for helically twisted identical strands have only been solved within the last
20 years. Our goal here is basic: to understand the twisting of two circular
strands, where one is thicker than the other. This is what we call an uneven
rope. The geometry of the uneven rope depend on the ratio, $r$, between the
diameters of the two strands. In particular, the maximally twisted geometry may
be determined as a function of $r$ by solving the contact-equations for the two
strands numerically.
