    —The Architecture Puzzler

    Created by Dave Guadagni

    Last Week's Puzzler

    Question

    If you double the diameter of a circle what have you done to its area? If you build a 6-in-12 pitch roof how steep is it in degrees?

    Answer

    If you double the diameter of a circle, its area increases four times. A 6-in-12 roof is 26.6 degrees.
