tested this hypothesis in the lab and have concluded that they do not
stack well. They are angled slightly at the top. With enough Macs you
could build a suspension bridge, but I wouldn't drive a car over it.
Suspension bridge? I take it you mean an arch bridge...
Sure.
The way to build a wall is to stack them not all the
same way round. The most
stable method is probably LRRLLRRLL..., but LRLRLR would probably work (L and R
meaning Macs facing Left and Right respectively)
LLRR wouldn't work. You'd have an unstable zigzag. LRLR is far more
optimal.
