Gluesticks

How do I build a bridge w/ craft sticks and Elmer's glue?

I am doing a project on building bridges in my school. It has to me 20-30 cm. vertical. And 32-40 cm. horizontal.I can only use 80 craft sticks and white Elmer's glue. It can NOT be anything over that. It has to hold up to 76 lbs. This is due next Tuesday

1. Ok I know the right answer for this because i took this class two years ago. The best way to build it is to take each tooth pick and break it into 3 pieces. Make sure you cut each piece very clean. You should only need about 13-18 tooth picks if you do this right. Take the pieces and glue them together in little triangle shapes like steps, as many as you need to reach the distance the is required. For us it was a 21 inch bridge and our 4 layer bridge held up just fine.
