We were have a discussion at a youth group mtg, and we were wondering if you
took a bag of marbles and dropped them off a 24 storey building what would
happen. One said that they would bounce (no breakage).  One said that they would
have a shock effect and they would crack.  One said that only the outer marbles
would break the inners would be ok.
