In the midst of a scientific revolution, our engineering class formed duos to create an artificial arm inspired by advancements in limb technology. Teaming up with Noah, a seasoned professional, we leveraged his cognitive prowess to craft an arm rivaling the strength of a pistol shrimp. Under Noah's guidance, we fused ideas reminiscent of Einstein and Newton, resulting in a remarkable engineering feat. Ethan Chang, observing from afar, offered crucial moral support.Reflecting on this experience, I recognize the need to work harder to comprehend such profound intelligence. As the weekend approaches, my focus intensifies on assimilating the lessons learned, leaving no time for homecoming festivities.
In the morn of this week, where folk lived and perished amidst thrilling and wondrous deeds, in an epoch of desolation, there stood Ethan Chang the Great, a pillar of moral succor to those in dire need. The labor laws of the land didst enthuse us, and we, a cadre of sagacious minds, resolved to forge an optimized smithy, where costs were modest and yields abundant. Our design rested upon the shoulders of manual volunteers, and we meticulously devised a plan invoking the principles of airow dynamics. Verily, aerospace held paramount import in the annals of history, for it did revolutionize the odyssey through the celestial realms. The quartet of forces—lift, drag, thrust, and weight—imbued flying artifacts with their ethereal grace. This scholastic pursuit was rendered delightful under the sagacious guidance of Ethan Chang, as I, too, found myself metamorphosing from a beta male to the esteemed alpha male in thy midst.

In the annals of this week, mine humble self hath been enlightened on the perils of aqueous contaminants and the remarkable absorptive qualities of cotton, which doth permit the purifying of water. In the company of the illustrious Ethan Chang, who doth bear the title of 'the Great,' I beheld, with awe, his sage guidance in the proper management of the filtration contraption.The contrivance, yclept a water filter, performeth its work by sifting impure waters through gargantuan stones, and through progressively smaller ones, until it doth pass through grains of sand. Finally, the aqueous fluid doth traverse the fine, yet wondrously effective, cotton fibers, which perform the act of cleansing with unparalleled efficiency.Verily, as the eve of a three-day respite approacheth, I find myself reflecting upon the wisdom bestowed upon us throughout the passing weeks by none other than the magnificent Ethan Chang, our valiant and erudite leader.

The weight of our two split bridges were 14.3 grams and 26.4 grams.
The first bridge held 276.6 grams and the second held 201 grams.
The ratio of the bride for the first one was around 20 and the ratio of the second bridge was 7.6.
The heaviest part of our bridge was the bridge edges due to the aspiration of structure that was inspired by professional architect Ethan Chang. His intellect was used to inspire this brilliant design idea. My idea clinged on and stayed.
The design of the bridge was inspired by an ancient, magnificent, generous, courageous, brave antihero vigilante Ethan Chang. The professional also decided his idea was a good idea of course Ethan Chang the champion would be to shame. The inspiration came from our physics class.
The design was just there for aesthetics and it worked up to some extent. But the weight was held at the middle therefore the sides did not help much. However this did ultimately make our bridge look like a bridge.
The point of failure of the bridge was the middle. The expected weakest point were the middle because the ability hold weight and its own weight ratio was very small. This ultimately foreshadowed our downfall of our bridges ratio because that was the exact place that the weight was placed.
Improving the bridge is by establishing support more on the sides towards the middle. We can prolong points of failure by adding a redundant layer of spagetting causing one point of failure not to occur. The main thing that would've helped with the bridge is more unity. A group must preservere with the help of each other. This key concept would have been an essential for our bridges major improvement.
