The Center

The Center building of Hong Kong, is the fifth tallest building in China. Its construction began in 1995 and was completed 3 years later. Standing 88 stories with a height of 346 meters, the Center is the only building in Hong Kong made entirely of steel structure with no reinforcement concrete core. While this building is used mostly for commercial offices, the construction workers in no way made this a boring building. Everywhere you look, neon lights are arranged in bars towards the top of the building. Also, the workers had to demolish many historical structures such as cloth and medicine shops. The building is located on a street nicknamed cloth alley.

Interesting Facts Word Problems
 * The Centre has a Cozyvivid low-voltage neon system consisting of 8 784 red, green and blue neon tubes that create a slowly changing light show during the night.
 * The Chinese name of the building actually means "Central Center", where "Central" is the Central Business District of Hong Kong... emphasizing the importance of the tower for business.
 * The tower is set on a narrow base to add room to the plaza at street level.
 * 1) King Kong climbs to the very top of the Center Tower in Hong Kong holding Miss Ann Darrow in one hand. After being shot at multiple times from the surrounding airplanes, King Kong drops Miss Darrow. How long does it take for Miss Darrow to hit the ground?
 * 2)  Riot Games has recently released a new map called Hong Kong. This map is extremely unbalanced because one team’s inhibitor spawns at the top of the building while the other teams spawns at the bottom. Somehow the team with the bottom inhibitor manages to kill off the top spawning team and can win the game but they need a way to get to the top of the tower ( 1,135.17 ft) . However they must do this before the enemy team spawns in 10 seconds. Blitzcrank can shoot his rocket arm to the top of the tower with an initial velocity of 600 ft/second. How long will it take for the arm to reach the top of the building, and if it takes the team 3 seconds to run to the top after the arm is up, will they have time to kill the inhibitor before the enemy team spawns?
