My Random Book and Potatoes

SIX GRAMS

Well, robotics stuff! Yay!

Anyway, the rest of the class got to see how much weight their bridges could hold, and see the bridges break.

So, me and my partner (his name is Kiyoshi) had gone into super bridge mode apparently.

There's some wood block on the bridge, attached to a bucket that we were supposed to fill with sand.

Well, we filled up the sand bucket.

So we started stacking journals on top of the bridge, and even put a stapler in the bucket.

We had just one journal less than what the group before Kiyoshi and I had, and one of Kiyoshi's friends put a grid of toothpicks (about 5 by 5 centimeters) on the bridge, and it just COLLAPSED. XD

No signs of breaking. It didn't creak, it didn't tilt.

It just COLLAPSED right there.

How much did the toothpicks that Kiyoshi's friend put on the bridge weigh?

SIX GRAMS.

SIX FREAKING GRAMS.

SIX GRAMS BROKE OUR BRIDGE.

I STILL HAVEN'T STOPPED LAUGHING. XD
