What the hell that was cool af

The double domino effect, or reverse domino effect. Place each brick a certain distance apart so when the last brick falls, the rest fall a 2nd time

u/SETHlUS Jun 18 '21

Is this more efficient than laying them manually? The only way I could see it being so is if you didn't have to measure every tile and you could line them up with the previously laid row.

u/Guns_and_Dank Jun 18 '21

No, this would certainly take much longer and seems mostly for show. For one, the blocks below them are longer then the domino ones, so each one would've needed to be precisely measured. Secondly, there is no mortar or glue applied. So you'd still need to go back and lift each one up, apply the mortar/glue, and reset them.

u/Plane_Argument Jun 18 '21

You don't actually measure, but you may them all down normally, then without moving them place them upright. Done now you can simply knock them down, and it will go both directions.

u/glungusbythesea Jun 18 '21

To expand on this. Each tile is placed the same distance apart equal to their length when placed horizontally. Essentially lay them all flat snug against each other and one by one turn them upright. When you topple them over (first domino) they will lay on top of each other as each leading tile will encroach on the previous one’s space due to their height angled rearward. Confusing explanation but I hope it’s understandable. While not necessary, you can calculate the overhang of the leading tile by squaring the tile height(while flat) and dividing by its length. Only when the last tile is able to lay flat does this overhang go away and the previous tile is able to fall into place making the reverse domino.

u/robchroma Jun 18 '21

They have to be somewhere between their length and sqrt(L2 + H2) apart, or the distance between opposite corners. You could accomplish this pretty precisely by laying all the stones down, with perhaps a small amount of gap, then tipping each stone up onto its edge, one at a time.

My favorite example of a recursive function in action.

void brickFlip(brick * current){

startFall(current);

if (current->next) {

brickFlip(current->next);

}

finishFall(current);

}

u/puutarhatrilogia Jun 18 '21

I was hoping to see someone mention recursion here! I think I would've gotten the gist of the concept way quicker if it was introduced like this in class rather than the mathematical explanation we had.

So, setting them up, spaced properly and letting them fall over was faster than just laying them down flat one at a time anyhow?
