Rough Neck Experiment

[Masterbait]

There was 3 teams of two people
A Russian team of Scientist
A German team of Mathematicians
A American team of Roughnecks

They were given two huge brass balls and a hammer, they were asked to build something with only these items. They would be locked up for the weekend and then on Monday we would see whom have the come up with the best model.
Monday rolls around, they open up the Russian teams room, the Russian team had made a state of the art Space Shuttle. " Wonderful"
They opened the German teams room, the Germans had a made a watch that also acted as a computer. "Amazing"
They opened the American teams room, When asked what have you built ? The rough necks replied. Nothing we lost one of the brass balls and broke the other one....
