Was playing Don’t Break the Ice today and I was wondering if someone could explain the science concept behind what holds the ice pieces together. Preferably a little deeper than just “pressure of pieces in a small space.” I looked online but it didn’t help me out very much lol.
Eta this is literally to explain it to a 5 year old

Pinch one of the blocks between two fingers. Even though you’re only applying pressure from two sides it doesn’t fall. If a block is in between two blocks on opposite faces it won’t fall either. The pressure on the blocks is due to the fact that the 5 or so blocks in a line are slightly longer than the square opening in the game. Forcing them in there is easy because it’s thin plastic pieces but it does squeeze the blocks together creating pressure.
