My Notes June 2026 Week 4

A team from the Caterpillar Company set a record for the largest Jenga game.

Each Jenga block was 243.8 cm long, 81.2 cm wide and 40.6 cm high and weighed 272 kg.

This event was held as a heavy-duty equipment training lesson.

Five types of CAT machines were used to play the game.

The tower began with 9 layers like a standard game of table Jenga.

After 28 hours, they moved 16 blocks and ended with 13 layers.

June 30 is National Meteor Watch Day.

A meteor is a small piece of rock or ice about the size of a speck of dust to the size of a fist.

I know you are angry with him, but you should walk it off before talking with him.
