I need help building a card structure.?

Question

The structure must be between 7 1/2 in and 9in.
If it uses glue i can use ~25 cards.
If it doesnt use glue i can use ~ a deck of cards.
The structure needs to be able to hold weight as well(the more weight the better)
It must also have a 2in(at the least) hole in the center.
Please help me. I really wanna get a good grade.

At the wikipedia link they have diagrams to help you build, or construct a card structure. Best of luck to you.

Suggestions from Berg (world record holder):

Use inexpensive, uncoated decks of cards. They're usually sold wrapped in cellophane, rather than boxed. Coated cards are too slick.

• Use cards of uniform size, thickness, and quality. Discard any bent ones.

• Build on a nonslippery surface. A floor is more stable than a table. Short-pile carpet or a square of particleboard provides just enough traction.

• Adjust misaligned cards with the edge of another card, not with your finger.

• Start by leaning the cards against each other more. As you get the knack, you'll be able to stack them more upright.

• Find a comfortable sitting position. Don't lean. If you can, build toward you, rather than away from you.

• Don't despair if your structure collapses before you're done.

• Take it easy, relax, have fun.
