Answer. The gate can be opened by unlocking only one padlock. Because of this gate design, multiple people can use the gate, and if one of them loses their keys, only their padlock needs to be replaced. Unlike a single padlock with multiple keys, where you would have to give multiple people a new key.

#7 “It Looks Like a Bulldog’s Butt”
