Since then, all students have used the tunnels to avoid inclement […]
Re: Hoyt tunnel article
After reading the article on the shrinking Hoyt tunnel, I had to recheck the date to make sure it wasn't an April Fools piece. I loved it!There is, however, at least one problem with the analysis. At some point, say, 800 years from now, the tunnel will be too narrow for a student to fit […]
