Satchel gave nicknames to all of his pitches, like the bee-ball, the barber, the two-hump blooper, the jump-ball, the trouble-ball, the long-ball, the bat dodger and his fastball, which he called Long Tom. His most unusual throw was called the hesitation pitch, because he stopped his arm for a second right before he released the ball to throw the batterâs timing off.
Jenga is played with 54 wooden blocks. Each block is three times longer than its width, and one fifth as thick as its length 1.5 cm Ã 2.5 cm Ã 7.5 cm (0.59 in Ã 0.98 in Ã 2.95 in).
A classic Jenga game consists of 54 precision-crafted, specially finished hard wood blocks. If the dimensions were the same, but the weight varied, the weight would not be evenly distributed throughout the tower. That aside, you are probably correct that the blocks are not all exactly the same size. Only one size block is manufactured, but because machines that cut the wood have certain tolerances (probably in 10s or 100s of microns), you cannot get a perfect cut. Even if you could, the wood surface isn't flat anyway.
