An IF game about an Egyptian patent office, anyone? Or a Hittite patent office, as the case may be…
But how tall was his father? :')

Just making sure there’s a bit of theme-fitting IF in here to appease the gods.

Does that literal dad joke count as a metaphorical dad joke?

THERE IS A PLATINUM PYRAMID HERE, 8 INCHES ON A SIDE!
If we assume the proportions of the Great Pyramid of Giza (surely a standard for pyramidicity), this is 5.1 inches high and weighs a bit over 84 pounds.
That’s not impossible to carry, but getting it off the floor is going to be a real problem! It’s not like you can wrap your hands around it and lift straight up. Imagine trying to tilt a pyramid of that density enough to get your fingers under it.

You need a good suction cup and handle.

How much weight is added if we assume equilateral triangular faces, increasing height to 4*sqrt(2) approximately equal to 5.66 inches? And how much is the weight reduced if we assume the apex is at the center of a cube with the base a face of the cube, reducing height to 4"?
and does picking it up become any easier if it’s lying on a lateral face instead of the base?
Also, something I find kind of crazy, even with all that weight, if it is setting on its base, the pressure under it is only about 1.3 psi, less than 1/10 of standard atmospheric pressure. Granted, a pyramid might be one of the best shapes for spreading out a load.
