Here you can see how I solved my math challange; to lift a brick
with six pieces of A4 paper.

|
|
This was my first try.
But the weight was not enough.
It was only 1,150 g.
I used two pieces of paper at first.
The first thing I did was to glue the paper together.
Then I rolled the paper into a column.
The last thing I did was to tape it together.

This was my second try.
Here the weight is enough.
It weighs 2,120g.
That is a little more than a brick.
I used two columns.
I made them by gluing three pieces of paper for each of the two columns.
I also rolled them and taped them together.
We used two liters Danish milk.
|
|
 |
|
And this is my third try.
I didn't change anything with the columns.
So this time I used the two same columns.
Here I have two liters and three quarts of milk.
|
|
 |
|
This is the final try.
Here we have three liters and three quarts of milk.
Together it is 3,930g!
It was really much more than enough!
