Our step list:
1. A pan hits a balloon.
2. The balloon hits a wall of nails and explodes.
3. After the balloon explodes a marble that is in the balloon falls into a box.
4. The marble continues to rolls in a track which is in a downward angle.
5. The marble falls into basket A that is attached to a nylon thread by means of two hangers to basket B.
6. Basket A descends and basket B rises up.
7. Basket B rises and hits a roller that then begins to roll downward on a track and hits a box and knocks it down.
10. The box falls on a thin plank of wood that is held at its axis by a nail to the wall.
11. The right hand side of the plank of wood lowers downward and the left hand side raises up.
12. The left hand side of the plank hits another plank of wood which is above it.
13. The right hand side of the other plank rises up and the other side lowers down.
14. On the upper plank is an egg connected to thread that is attached to the left side of a fork which is balanced at its axis by a nail on the wall. When the egg falls, it tilts the left side of the egg downward. A marble that was placed on the left hand side of the fork then falls into a series of interfacing plastic slides.
15. The marble then passes into a tube which drops the marble into a paper cup attached to the outer frame of a bicycle wheel. [There are four paper cups on the wheel.] The weight makes the wheel rotate to the left. This continues until three marbles enter three cups, all of which rotate and fall onto another track. However, this track is blocked by a piece of styrofoam, preventing the marbles from continuing their route.
16. Acetone was placed in fourth cup anterior to the cups in which the marbles entered. Consequently, the acetone then also falls onto the track. When the acetone makes contact with the styrofoam, the styrofoam melts and the marbles continue and fall into a box.
17. There is a hole in the bottom of this box and to this hole is attached a series of empty bottomless yogurt containers. These containers form a tube which leads to a series of large blue dominos. The dominos then fall.
18. The last domino falls onto a taut thread that is attached to a small slab of wood on the wall balanced on a nail about a half meter above the floor. When the last domino (upon which the thread is attached) moves, the wooden slab is also moved.
19. Balanced above this piece of wood is a framed picture, above which is balanced another framed picture, also with a piece of wood. The dislodging of the original slap causes the first picture to swing to the right and this movement then causes the picture above it also to swing to the right.
20. Upon the upper frame of the upper picture there was another marble. To this marble is attached another thread (with scotch tape). This thread leads to a piece of aluminum which was blocking a solar panel already being illuminated by a light. The force of the falling marble moves the aluminum which then allows the light to shine on the solar panel.
21. The solar panel is then able to activate a fan. The fan blows down dominos.
22. The last domino knocks down a piece of wood that is connected to a container of cornflakes and a container of milk.
23. The cornflakes slide down a track into a bowl. Simultaneously, the milk is spilled into a container in which is a bent straw (according to the law of combined tools i.e. only when the straw is completely filled with the milk will the milk spill into the container through the tube and from the tube into the bowl.)
"
Why think we should win?
The moves are neat and varied : we combined original moves from the area of chemistry , optometry , law of combined tools - more than just pouring cornflakes into a bowl, we succeeded in pouring milk into the bowl simultaneously.
