Task: Question Answering
Input (English): In the end I decided to make the balls 2.5 oz each ( 30 oz ) and use the remainder for the two ropes : 9 oz each . Once I shaped the balls and placed them on parchment in two triangles of six ( bases touching ) , I used a tape measure to figure out how long my outside ropes needed to be : 40 inches . Now I was very happy with my new 36 " maple countertop ( see other posts ) . I could just roll these out on the diagonal .
Output (English): What may happen when you make a maple countertop ?
