Here is a terrific time waster for you guys.
http://fantasticcontraption.com/
An online game where you build contraptions based on physics.
Enjoy.

I should've posted this in here a while ago...you can look at other people's solutions once you've built your own, just look back on the main page. In the meantime, think about catapults and extendable ramps...they'll get you through a lot of them.

Jeez. All those complicated contraptions. Am I the only one who sees beauty in simplicity?

My ego took a battering - didn't read the instructions and thought engineering was easy.
It isn't.
Fun though - and I will give this a bash when have some free time. Thanks!

This is really hard. After playing this for awhile, I've realised that I am clearly not an engineer.

I'm not sure what level I stopped on. I was VERY close to having the object fit in the tiny goal area... off by 1cm visually. Great time waster! .... level 17 is where I stopped
