xkcd #3048: Suspension Bridge
(xkcd.com)
And besides... It works in Bridge Constructor
Pontifex, anyone?
Wow, that's a throwback. That game is why I know that definition.
It even suspends the disbelief!
Looks like randall is playing bridge constructor again
What if you did a hill on top... So it was a parabolic curve.
The Skye Bridge is a bit like that:
I feel like you purposely tricked us with this picture. The perspective makes this bridge look crazy steep. It's actually much more flat than it seems.
I take your point, but "tricked" is a strong word - I chose an image that shows the amount of climb. Having driven over it, I promise , it feels crazy steep! :-)
Yours really only shows the centre of the bridge, barely going beyond the supports. When you get a wider view, you can see just how much users have to climb at the start, to get to the top.
.
Fair enough. It does look very steep, but I couldn't find a good picture of the whole thing.
Yeah, same, it's weird that there isn't one easily findable!
But anyway, thank you for introducing me to this lovely bridge today!
You're welcome! ๐
