Domino Skyscraper

If you wanted to topple over a domino the size of a skyscraper, how many dominoes would you need?

• It depends on the size of the first domino and the multiplication factor.

• More than a thousand dominoes.

• Exactly 100 dominoes.

• Only one, if it's big enough.

What information would help solve the problem of toppling a skyscraper-sized domino?

• The dimensions of different skyscrapers and the size increase factor of the dominoes.

• The number of people watching the event.

• The color of the dominoes.

• The weather conditions on the day of the attempt.

How much space would you need in order to knock down the skyscraper domino if the distance between each domino also grows by a factor of 1.5?

• A city block.
