If you hung a hob-nob and a digestive each on a piece of string, like conkers, and threw the digestive at the hob-nob at 6.7mph until one biscuit broke - which biscuit would break first?
Why? I think that the hob nobs more mixed textures would make it more able to withstand knocks compared to a digestive which tends to be ve very brittle due to its more homogenous texture.
But then, they're all just intuitions.

The piercing method is not explained. What is the string made of, and how thick is it? And how long? What knots is it tied with? If you pierced them and strung them, would you throw them or swing them like conkers?
Also, were the biscuits dunked or not? If dunked, you need to say what they were dunked in (eg. warm [39 degrees C] milky Tetley's tea without sugar) and for how long.
How long ago were the biscuits made, and how stale were they?
Based on the original question, my answer is that I'd have eaten them both before you got a chance to thread them and chuck them.
