Jenny’s tower goes limp

Jenny tries to build an Eiffel tower-like structure, with three marshmallow legs connected to another marshmallow with cocktail sticks, and then a chain of marshmallows on top of that. However, the construction method isn’t as stable as she was hoping.

Nearer the end of the time, she empties out the jar and then balances her tower on top of the pile of marshmallows. This initially seems stable, but her tower ends up going limp when the time is up, and when she lets go of it, she’s left with just a big pile of marshmallows.

Jenny’s tower is measured at 15.5cm, which earns her 4 points.
