You will need:

  • 12 Jenga bricks

Method:

  1. Place 2 Jenga bricks down, parallel to each other.
  2. Put a brick on the top of them. Don’t put it exactly on top, or the experiment won’t work.
  3. Add bricks on top of the first one in an ‘L’ shape.
  4. Remove one of the bottom bricks, the one with less one them.
  5. You’re done.
