Use the following materials ONLY:
5 pennies
2 rulers
3 sheets of printer paper (8.5 x 11 inches each)
2 pieces of masking tape — each 3 inches long
You have 5 minutes to create the tallest free-standing tower that you can.
When time is up, measure your tower and snap a picture of it. Email the picture to me by noon on Saturday to earn bonus points. The tallest tower wins extra bonus points.
