A friend sent me a text today saying he was crazy about this algorithm he posted and felt like people loved cheese more. I say people love this state of mind more.

The Cooper's Hill Cheese Roll and Wake Up event is an event held every Spring Bank holiday on Cooper's Hill near Gloucester, England. Competitors dart down 180 metres of hill in pursuit of the elusive double Gloucester cheese.

A round of double Gloucester cheese weighing four kilograms rolls down the hill. Once the race started, the runners chased the cheese down the hill, and the first person to cross the finish line down the hill was awarded the cheese. The goal of the contestants is to catch the cheese, but the cheese has a one-second first-mover advantage and can reach a high speed of 70 miles per hour.

Members of the local rugby club were conscripted to line up down the hill to catch tumbling players. The event has a long tradition of being held by local Brockworth Village people, but now people from all over the world come to take part.

The first written evidence of cheese rolling is found in an 1826 letter to the town telegraph operator of Gloucester, but even then the activity was clearly an ancient tradition.

It is said that the "cheese race" is at least six hundred years old, and it may have evolved from the demand to maintain grazing rights on common land. The custom of rolling objects down the hill may also be linked to paganism, and is said to be a fertility ritual designed to encourage the harvesting of fruits.

The origin of the cheese race

Cheese rolling competitions originated in the United Kingdom and have now evolved into "Cheese Chasing festivals". It was actually an interesting game. Contestants chase a giant cheese wheel rolling down a hill, and whoever catches it will eventually own the cheese.

Every year at the end of May, the UK holds a crazy and exciting cheese rolling competition. The cheese rolling competition takes place at Copper's Hill in Brockworth, Gloucestershire, and although the top prize is the cheese, cheese warriors are willing to break their arms and legs.

Of course, so far, very few people have been able to catch the cheese, everyone just madly rolling down the hill.

The inhabitants of Cooper's Hill seem strange. While ordinary people are content to admire the sheer cliffs of the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire, they are keen to gather once a year at the top of Cooper to chase a 3kg double Gloucestershire cheese, rolling and climbing 200 metres to the bottom of a 45-degree slope.

Every year thousands of people come to watch and cheer on match day. Dozens of "cheese warriors" show their skills, and local medical and emergency assistance agencies are also on standby.

The cheese rolling competition is divided into four groups. Because the slope is too steep and the speed of the downhill is very fast, many players have stumbled and "rolled" down the mountain like cheese, so many people have broken bones or bruises.

The first person to catch the cheese wins the cheese; The runner-up will receive five pounds and the third runner-up will take home three coins. By any standard, the prize is clearly not big enough.

Although it may seem strange, the festival has been going on for five hundred years and is said to date back to distant Roman times; But the true origin is unknown.

Now it has evolved into an international event, attracting brave men from all over the world every year. As for the locals, they have lived in the Cooper Mountains for generations, chasing sheep on this slope for centuries.

Participating in the Cheese Rolling festival, although the risk of injury, but is not only the embodiment of brave spirit, but also respect for the ancient tradition, of course, there is a rare indulgence and carnival, why not?

But perhaps for those who stumbled after the cheese, the reward might have been the mud, the blue here and there, and even a few broken bones
