    Hey Matt, I haven't thought about that before, but the one from 15:17 is probably tieing the cars together, so the first one pulls the second one. Then you can make the brigde straight and cheap, and not worry about the boat destroying it, cause the 2nd car already made it to theother side. Cheating just like a dangling road...

    So here’s a challenge where you can show off you engineering skills. Make a bridge with the highest safety factor you can within the budget. I.e. lowest total stress possible

    If you’re ever doing Swedish/danish bridges, consider doing the Øresundsbron (if possible in poly bridge)

      Well, two of the strongest shaped bridges in this episode were made by a Swede! (me!)

    I don't like bridges, I don't like civil engineering, I don't like architecture, I don't know what this game is, I don't know who this guy is. Have I watched the whole video ? Yes. Will I watch more like this ? Yes. Might install this game lol.

    17:12 makes my head hurt. How the hell does that work. Would it be possible to build that in lego or mechano.

    I'm ready for Matt to give the world of Myst a try. That'd be an interesting series after Infra.
