... and the winner is...

Tower01.jpg
justine & lindy - the highest but heaviest

with a height of 3.8 spaghetti lengths, justine and lindy built one of the highest towers! it's foundation is totally laffy taffy and beautiful! due to its colorful but massive candy basement, the building was not only the highest but with 112g also the heaviest construction of the day. congrats to justine and lindy for this beautiful high tower!

 
Tower03.jpg
akshaya & bethany - the highest which needed a bit of support

the most slender structure was designed by akshaya and bethany. with only 44g it was superlight and yet 3.6 spaghetti lengths high. it needed a little manual support but its triangular foundation was really solid and stable! congratulations!

edward, hanson, abhishek & sean - the real engineering one

edward, hanson, abhishek & sean are our engineers of the day! they really worked together as a team and created a really cool engineering truss structure (and figured out that flags on buildings are beautiful but useless). their 1.4 unit high tower served as example during the whole morning. but due to its truss structure (and because you guys ate the laffy taffys rather then build them in) this 47g building is superlight! guys, you should all become engineers!
