Problem for Monsters
China Hush illustrates the ogre Li Bhao who had built a dungeon for his four sex slaves. His wife believed he had a second job while in fact he was visiting his secret harem.
Underground hollow structures like a dungeon for sex slaves, an empty water reservoir or septic tank, etc. pose the engineering problem that during the rainy season the freatic level rises and the structure emerges from the ground and starts to float.
Say Li Bhao's harem was a cubic structure built of concrete (2.4 ton/ cu.m.), each side 4 meter long with walls 10 cm wide. The Chinese Frankenstein had four females 50 kg each imprisoned below and he himself weighted 70 kg. The top level of the cube was at ground level. When the rains fall and wet the sandy soil, the cube starts to emerge. The alarmed monster decides to park a cement block on top of the cube. What is weight of the block that will ensure that his secret will never emerge to the light?
