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.

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.

I have yet to see any scientific proof that it wasn't cinderblock magic.

People are coming up with so many ingenious ways to entertain themselves during quarantine, I can't imagine that we don't have the ingenuity to fix the mess.

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.

No kidding. The other day some kid made a comment doubting cinder block magic, and I was like "Bro, you're about to go the way of the moa!"

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?"
