genius brick layer

^^ That's right.

 

As each block falls the first time is ends up resting *just* on the corner of the next one down the line. The last block falls a little further, so it is lying flat, which means that the last but one block then falls flat. When that happens, the one before falls off its edge, so that is it lying flat, so the one before that then falls, and so on.

 

Much harder to describe in words than to do, and a very near trick. The key to making the system work is getting exactly the right spacing between the blocks.

 

It is a very neat trick in deed, and the second run, where they fall flat, looks like witchcraft till you figure it out!

You gotta hand it to the Aussie,s that was probably a days yakka then off down the pub for some stubbies and got paid lol

 

 

If they'd laid them flat when they put them up there'd be no measuring and they wouldn't have knock them over at the end, they could've had an early finish[emoji846]

The really clever bit is when they all stand up again.

You don't measure them you just cut a spacer
