GRE


What is a Rube Goldberg Machine? At Purdue University, the Phi chapter of the Theta Tau fraternity conducts an annual Rube Goldberg Machine contest. The contest is named after Reuben Lucius Goldberg, he drew his contraptions to satirize the new gadgets and inventions of the day... You will be given a mundane task like – Peeling an apple ,folding a piece of paper - and u have to solve it in the most complex way possible.The more the steps atleast 20 the better the Rube Goldberg Machine is.
