True fact:: If you were to use a standard ordinary bricks to construct a circular 9" thick ring around the planet Earth using a straight version that measures 9x4.5x(3-3) in mathematical combination with a tapered version that measures 9x4.5x(3-2.75), you would only need a quantity of (113) tapered bricks to satisfy the angular change required to turn the 360 degree ring construct. The remaining quantity would be made up of straight non-tapered shapes.
Have a great night!
Fascinating! I understood none of that! :D
