You've solved the problem of the sinking floor, and resume construction -- but now you've got a new problem! The heavy dome roof has just been completed, and now the stone walls are beginning to crack. To make matters worse, the beautiful stained glass windows are popping out and smashing on the ground! What a disaster! After close examination, you realize that the cathedral's stone arch ceiling is so heavy, it's thrusting outward against the glass-filled walls and causing them to pop out.

It's still not too late to fix the bursting cathedral. How will you save the day and prevent it from collapsing?

 Replace the glass windows with concrete    Build diagonal braces on the outside of the cathedral    Build long, supporting arms
