The 33 1/3 second mystery #26
The world famous Yomama diamond is displayed in a room measuring 15m x 15m x 15m. The room is constructed of concrete blocks with a floor covered by carpeting. The diamond is displayed on a pedestal 1m high covered by a glass shroud. They are the only objects in the room, and are located centrally. Pressure sensitive wires run under the carpeting in parallel fashion on 8cm centers, and will trip if 4kg pressure is applied to an individual wire.
Burglar Pat McGroin, who weighs 74kg was able to steal the diamond using a 5m 2x4, 4 leather straps (2m x 5cm ea.), a hammer, and a saw.
How did Pat pull off the heist?
