I'm guessing because the bricks are not allowed to fall "all the way" until the last one. And that little bit is the difference between them falling all the way down vs. catching the edge ever so slightly.
V. cool. Must have been super tedious to set up (probably some sort of spacer.
@xenon When the second to last one falls, it makes sense that the space between that one and the last one is a little bit more than the space between all of the previous ones. But what makes that second to last one "jump" forward just a little bit? Would like to see this in slow motion. LOL

I pride myself on knowing what was going to happen before it did.

Side story: I knew a girl in Taiwan who worked in a pub. She was a mountain person (native tribe to Taiwan) who had darker skin, who really liked that song (Black Magic Woman).
Anyway, I saw today that the guy who wrote that song just died. And his group (Fleetwood Mac) did not make it famous. It was famous by somebody else.

Yep. People call me alarmist when I warn of the existential risk of not believing in cinder block magic. But the sad tale of the Moa species should be a reminder to us all.

Close but no cigar. The Moa bird went extinct because Christopher Columbus’s brother sailed a different route and made it much further. Thanksgiving looked very different in New Zealand.

It was actually the inspiration for Dickens' Oliver Twist. "Please sir, may I have some Moa?"
