got around
Bypassed the obstacle
Got around covers movement and circumvention.
To get around is to move from place to place: She gets around fine without a car.
It also means to circumvent or evade: They found a way to get around the regulations.
To get around to something is to finally address it after delay: I never got around to reading that book.
If something gets around, it spreads: Word got around quickly.
