Penny Challenge Response

As Janedsh describes, "As a team building exercise at Summersault, we were given 2 sheets of 8 1/2 x 11 paper, 2 standard paper clips and 1 penny. The challenge is to use the paper and the paper clips to get the penny as far from the edge of the table as possible, without holding on to it."
Steve threw down the gauntlet with his 10" challenge, and here’s my response: 11 3/4" using two pieces of paper, designed and completed in 8 minutes while the macaroni cooked in the other room.
