A group of student in UTM (University Technology of Malaysia) was given a project. We have to build a bridge with only matches and glue, and the bridge shall withstand a vertical load of 500g (a 500ml bottle filled with water). Marks were given by lecturer, base on the structure design and the weight of the bridge (the lower, the better).
Various designs and structures were seen yesterday (16.9.06) during the presentation. Some were very solid, which could support a load of 2kg (our lecturer called it "over designed"), while some were barely meeting the requirement.

Marks was also given base on the weight. The lower te weight, the higher the
marks.
