Other schools compete in things like football...

I got the following submission the other day from Ryan W. over at West:

"A few days ago, the Junior Physics class walked in to find 10 of the chairs stacked into a sculpture with only 1 chair touching the ground. We added a few more chairs in and left it for the original class to see. Today, we found over 20 chairs stacked. Not to be outdone, we took all 36 chairs in the room and stacked them together with only 1 touching the ground. OAIA."

It even came with pictures which I felt were worth sharing, so it's getting it's own post instead of going through the whole sidebar process. When I asked him for the rest of the story he sent back more info and some interesting pictures...so I'll let him tell the story:

"This is at West and the chair stacking took place between the junior and senior IB physics classes. (Juniors are 2nd block, seniors first.) Here is the full story:

The Seniors left a few chairs stacked together, probably something they did out of boredom at the end of class:


We expanded on that for a little while and produced this: (13 total)


A couple fell and our final piece for the day was this, which we left for the next class to find: (12 total)


The Senior class apparently heard about what we did and managed to get 22 or 23 chairs stacked together (sorry, no picture of this one).

We decided to beat them, so we took theirs apart and managed to get all 36 chairs in the classroom into the sculpture in the pictures I already sent you:



We had to take this one down though, because apparently the next class wanted to use chairs (we were content to just sit on desks to keep our masterpiece up). We ended up playing chair jenga, which resulted in a really loud crash."

Awesome. Thanks for the submission, and congratulations to the first Westerners to make the site!
