Re: Or maybe we should maximise slippage?

"we design the tower to collapse or withdraw before the point of slip occurs so that the stone then rotates and drops in free fall. Wow!"

WOW indeed! A complete jumble of logs and stones... forward steps Gordon, dressed as Gandalf... waves his wand and Pow! When the dust clears there's just a heap of rubbish, with a 40 ton upright stone in the middle!

If you can design it, great. I'd certainly been thinking I wouldn't like the job of going underneath the stone to disassemble most of the tower.
