OFFICIAL: World's 2nd Strongest Paper Bridge

A High School Physics student built a bridge out of nothing but paper and glue and it was able to withstand 1,041 Lbs before failure. The bridge only weighed 1.1Lbs (480g).
Update: in 2008 during the same in-school competition, a girl, "insert name", beat Greg Overton's record by 30 Lbs, during the official school competition. Greg commented "I'm not upset. I still invented the design that she [current record holder] used. She didn't do anything differently. I'm not going to build another one because my name is already in the record book and will always be there. I encourage people to break even the new record [1071 Lbs]. In fact, I challenge anyone to beat 1500Lbs. They could post their vids on youtube or something and our physics classes could try and figure out exactly how they did it. I'd love to one day see a car hanging from one of these paper bridges, wouldn't you [interviewer]?" The rules guidelines and procedures for this project can be found in the "bridge" link on http://www.gravitykills.net/

PEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNIIIIIIIII­IIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!­!

[timedstroyer]

... thats paper? like a4?

[chickenpoper]

Can you please give me design by Friday please? I need it for science club bridge strength test. I promise I will give you credit for your design.

[DeathToPhantom]

.....wow....



[Snowiethebunny]

what would he do if the wood broke but the bridge was still standing?

@GuitarSK8boarding It was suppose to be a joke. You take things way to serums in your life. It's youtube not every thing needs to be spelled right.

[GuitarSK8boarding]

@the3chosenone I would expect such a stupid question from someone with no ability to spell or use grammar. "why isnt all" "brigest"
