Tubular spaghetti, also known as bucatini, is not permitted. “Spaghetti is a cylindrical form of pasta with a diameter not greater than 3mm, made from semolina or flour and water”.

3. The bridge must be constructed using PVA/white glue, hot glue or super glue and the glue should be used to join the spaghettis only; glue or any other material cannot be used to coat strands of spaghetti.

2. The loading process will be gradually conducted by one of the team members.

3. The bridge must not be interfered with while undergoing the test. The bridge will be tested until destruction.

4. The winning bridges will be ranked according to the weight and the peak load carried during the test. Highest ratio of carried load per bridge’s weight will be the winner.
