Fries with that?

- How is your new house going?
- Don’t talk about!
- What’s up?
- Right now they are making the steps to the bedrooms upstairs.
- And?
- The stairs elevates the climber 3 metres. How high should each step be? How wide should each step me? How much space will the stairway take?
- Are you asking me?
- No, I am ordering fries.

    I like it! I changed the total rise to Jan’s 3000mm, and it designed me a staircase fitted snugly into a 3-4-5 triangle. Ah, good old 3-4-5 triangle. It’s been useful to us for millennia. The Ancient Egyptians used it for creating right angles, and now we use it to design staircases.
