    This is exactly my thought also.

    Only stacking in a third dimension is not allowed? Cut pieces may be moved around on the plane or rotated to be cut further? What about flipping of pieces? (although I fail to see how that may be advantageous at this point)

    Dowels would be lines for our purposes and they can only be connected at the ends.

    I have not been following along with this thread, but I saw Y-san's code here and thought I would give it an analysis Just some thoughts

    Arranged as such That was terribly crud(e). I don't think that will hold, but applaud the effort.

    Indeed. Much like a dragoon for Chinese New Year.

    This may have been asked before since it was taken straight from bn’s playbook. You have an unlimited supply of dowels all of the same length and they can only be connected at their ends. A triangle made by joining three dowels will be a rigid form, but a square made by connecting four dowels can be easily distorted into other shapes without breaking or bending a dowel or disconnecting the ends. As if the end connections were hinged. In three dimensional space the simplest way to brace the square would be to add eight more dowels the form an octahedron. Let’s assume, however that we are limited to only two dimensions. Without bending, breaking or overlapping dowels, only connecting them at the ends and remaining on a two dimensional plane we can still brace the square by attaching triangles to it. Here is an example with 35 total dowels. The question is: What is the fewest number of dowels required to hold a square firm?

    Yes. Well Done.

    Thinking outside the (batter's) box and misspellings aside, Hinson is the ValleyCats' second baseman. This may be unfair to those residing in countries where Baseball is not a major occurance, because a passing knowledge of the rules is required to derive and explain the correct answer.

    During a particular game of baseball between the Tri-City ValleyCats and the Auburn Doubledays, John Hinson was the lead off hitter for the ValleyCats. There were no substitutions or changes made to the nine man ValleyCats Rooster that day and Hinson stepped up to the plate every inning. What is the fewest number of runs the ValleyCats could have scored that day?

    I'm typically to logically thinking for these, but I have been thinking of this answer since I first saw this riddle, so I'll just post it

    Well so far
