    Quizzical Pursuit
    —The Architecture Puzzler

    Created by Dave Guadagni

    Solution to Last Week's Puzzler
    Architecture Puzzler #227

    Question

    If I told you this common building material is manufactured from CaSO4-2H2O, what product would I be referring to?

    Answer

    CaSO4-2H2O is gypsum ore and, along with paper, is the main component of gypsum wallboard. In North America, about 30 billion square feet (2.8 billion square meters) of wallboard are produced each year.
