Subject: Forza's little challenge^^ 28th April 2012, 03:54
Sooo... i really had nothing to post on the forum seriously so i decided to post random things so i can be "ACTIVE"
basically this challenge is building.
Materials needed: 2 pieces of paper(any kind) scissors or other cutting utensil tape/glue or any other damn thing you can find that sticks(including syrup)^^
what you have to do is using those materials, you have to make a sort of building/tower with the paper.^^ You can fold, cut, tape, glue, etc., etc. the paper as long as you can make it a tower. It also has to stand up on its own for at least 1 minute without falling.(no taping it to a desk or leaning). At first it sounds pretty hard , but it's actually very fun^^
After you're done and passes the standing test, measure how tall it is. Then take a picture of it and upload it here^^, with the height
Btw, i got this idea from a little fun project i had to do at school^^. i might even post a pic of mine If you have any more questions, feel free to ask^^! Now get going!

I'm gonna try this for sure... Well, when I have time. I don't have time to play TM, I don't have time to get out of my house, I don't even have time to get off my studying chair!
Maybe I'll stay up late just to try this and to play some TM while I'm at it...
By two pieces of paper, what do you mean? Like two DIN A4 leaves?

Got mine ready! Couldn't sleep last night, so I just decided I should fool around a bit. Since the only games I got on my computer now are those from Windows (laptop failed again, I'm still reinstalling things), I decided to make something for this little contest.
Back in my old team, I used to put some challenges like this myself, but my teammates didn't enter them. I know how frustrating it is that your challenge goes unnoticed, so to give some kind of kickstart to others, I made my entry already. This way you can also aim not only to make something, but to surpass something that's already done. There you go a pic:
It stands at 61cm as you can read, and I'm upping a little vid to youtube to demonstrate it stands by itself the required minute without being in any way glued to the floor. Also I'll be showing materials and tools used. Please excuse my lack of english accent (i can force both british and american standard accents, but since this is not an employment interview, english spoken test or something like that, I'm too lazy to force an accent... So hear it and earbleed ). Vid is already up:

Patience, Chrissie? I made that "thing" in some 15 minutes, at about 1:15 and sleep deprived
Yeah, 24 inches almost exactly (24.01)... I'm far? Hey, how much height you can reach with two DIN A4 leaves?
