I've spent a "fair bit" of time :0) playing this Bridge thing today, finally
finished the 15 standard levels that came with it just before the Le Mans
start. :0) Just one comment on the "physics" - it seems that a beam has the
same mass no matter what its length. I can't prove this but that's
definitely the "feel" I get from it, anyone agree/disagree?
The website at http://www.racesimcentral.net/ has loads of stuff as Tim
says, worth a look to see some of the incredible architectural masterpieces
(and a whole load of other junk). Be warned that the game is much more fun
if you've never seen the answer before you solve it yourself.....
