>The major breakthough, if it works.
It works fine, and unlike all other methods previously proposed the problem doesn't grow expotentially with the size of the stone. If four men can move a 4 ton stone, then forty men can move a 40 ton stone, as each man is able to move his share unemcumbered by his workmates. In fact four men were needed to move the 4 ton stone only because a minimum of four levers were needed to balance the stone. I intend to try six men on the 10 tonner and I fully expected it to work, If I end up with egg on my face we can all have a good laugh, then do it with twelve men, we'll still be miles in front of the pro's.
In short we don't need to move 40 tons to demonstrate the method.
