      It’s a team-building exercise that the management came up with. They might let some people go if it goes well, too!

    This is unrealistic, the client would never say thank you.

    In my experience they’d carry on complaining, even after an apology and saying it’ll be put right.

    Also, even if they didn’t need to specifically be cubes, he still left part of the object behind.

    Does it not matter how much he brings to the end?

    Is the requirement for success here solely his speed?

    Why not ditch the cube altogether?

    Or is it a sum of both speed and “cube mass”?

    If so, how much can he shave off and still compensate by being fast?

    Could you just cut a small piece of it and sprint to the end?

    Is there a minimum amount you need to bring?

    So many questions…

      Even if what he did was legit, then cutting the cube into a cylinder would be a smarter choice. Maybe not even a full cylinder, an octagon or something like that would have roll fine and saved so much work.

      Holly shot! Reminds me of a recirculating linear bearing, not what they were testing and not what they’re suggesting the Egyptians did but neat parallel.

      Smart people save a lot of work, in any era and civilization. Another example of ingenuity to transport of objects of many tons with only a handful of people.

    If the point of the work was to deliver cubes, then it wouldn’t be working smart.

    But since the original premise was that they were working smart, that means it doesn’t matter what shape the objects are delivered in.

    The sphere looks taller than the cubes.

    Perhaps it’s a mouldable material like clay to be re-shaped, or hard but to be cut down to a cube on-site.

      You can see the pile of chips behind him from making the sphere.

    Also if you push the front edge will dig into the ground, the force vector you apply has a downward component.

    If the employees pulled it would lift the front edge and avoid the cubes getting stuck on obstacles.

    They’re also leaving almost half the volume in bits on the ground.

    Volume of a sphere of diameter 1 = ~0.52 Volume of a cube of 1 unit = 1 Volume of a cylinder = ~0.79

    So not only are they not doing the required job. They’re wasting twice as much time and material than needed to make the job easier…

    And you could still build a pyramid with cylinders…
