Nope, I am not going for a math exam. sadly, it's just the list of things we engineers have to use during the HOLS for RAG. and got the artsy people really amused that we went around the place shouting "what's cos 60?? what is inverse tan 1.4333??" (cause none of us brought a calculator, act smart lo)
I think the design and plans for RAG has changed like a gazillion times since we first started.. we can soon compile a book of "in those days..." and see how insanely our float has become more and more complicated as time gets lesser and lesser. another charming aspect of RAG
and with these changes, RAG's rejects and casualties will follow which will remain buried and forgotten at best; dismantled and tortured at worst.
RAG Reject #1: windmill model 1
Reason: the back is not nice enough (??!)
RAG Reject #2: One side of the bottom of the Eiffel Tower
Reason: Too unstable
RAG Reject #3: The entire bottom of the Eiffel Tower
Reason: Too ugly (wth..)
RAG Reject #4: Small, fat building
Reason: There were sooo many people with different ideas of how to make that building look spectacular that it ended up looking like, as Moniza said, "someone shitted on it"
RAG Reject #5: The odd doll like thing with a pole sticking out of its head
Reason: It's too big for what is left of the tall, pointy building (see below)
RAG Casualty #1: Tall, pointy building
Reason: It is so thin that it looks like a pillar, so we are going to saw it into 3 for 3 small buildings
I am glad to say I cant really remember other rejects or casualties.
My whole life seem to revolve around RAG. NO!! I HAVE A LIFE!! I'LL SHOW YOU!! (soon..)

nice song that goes into your soul....
The most glorious moments in your life are not the so-called days of success, but rather those days when out of dejection and despair you feel rise in you a challenge to life, and the promise of future accomplishments
