Tips
  • Align the first block on an edge so a portion of it is over the edge. Continue to stack blocks on top of the first so the 2nd block hangs off the edge slightly more than the first. Continue to stack in this manner until the last block, when compared to the first block, has nearly all its mass off the initial starting edge. Step lengths go as L/2n.
