Treasure Hunt: Quaint Bridges; A chance conversation with an old friend brought up our various qualifications, he has a Masters in, of all things, Building and construction which included a portion of civil engineering and he told me that part of his project was to build a bridge using spaghetti! It's a brilliantly unforgiving medium and is great training for engineers :-) he then showed me a recent sample he did with his son... Wow, I gotta have a go at this, it looks like fun! There have been worldwide competitions to find the best spaghetti bridge design and as far as I can work out the latest is a 950 gram bridge that has held (without breaking!) a weight of 456kg. You tube has a selection of record breaking attempts which are all pretty impressive :-)
