&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
A &lt;b&gt;cottage&lt;/b&gt; is, typically, a small house. It may carry the connotation of being an old or old-fashioned building. In modern usage, a cottage is usually a modest, often cosy dwelling, typically in a &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_area&quot;&gt;rural&lt;/a&gt; or semi-rural location.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
The word comes from the &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecture_of_England&quot;&gt;architecture of England&lt;/a&gt;, where it originally referred to a house with ground floor living space and an upper floor of one or more bedrooms fitting under the eaves. In &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_English&quot;&gt;British English&lt;/a&gt; the term now denotes a small dwelling of traditional build, although it can also be applied to modern construction designed to resemble traditional houses (&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/faux&quot;&gt;mock&lt;/a&gt; cottages&quot;). Cottages may be detached houses, or &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terraced_house&quot;&gt;terraced&lt;/a&gt;, such as those built to house workers in mining villages. The &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tied_accommodation&quot;&gt;tied accommodation&lt;/a&gt; provided to farm workers was usually a cottage, see &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cottage_garden&quot;&gt;cottage garden&lt;/a&gt;. Peasant farmers were once known as &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotter_(farmer)&quot;&gt;cotters&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
For the purposes of this challenge, you may model your cottage based any known design or one of your own in the style of your choice.&lt;/div&gt;

A cat tree (also referred to as a cat tree house, cat condo, kitty condo, cat stand, cat post or cat tower) is an artificial structure for a &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat&quot;&gt;cat &lt;/a&gt;to &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_play_and_toys&quot;&gt;play&lt;/a&gt;, exercise, relax and sleep on.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Cat trees vary in height and complexity, with most &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat&quot;&gt;cats&lt;/a&gt; preferring features offering height over comfort, particularly if tall enough to allow a clear survey of their &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territory_(animal)&quot;&gt;territory&lt;/a&gt;. While most cats seem to prefer tall cat trees, some prefer options which offer shelter or a secluded escape, which may be at any height of the structure.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Originating from toll houses (where toll takers once lived), toll booths are used to collect fees for road construction and maintenance. Automation is quickly leading to their obsolescence but for now they live on.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
For the purposes of this challenge, you are to model a toll plaza of any size you choose. You may include the modern &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_toll_collection&quot;&gt;electronic toll collection&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_number_plate_recognition&quot;&gt;automatic number plate recognition&lt;/a&gt; systems, but they must appear in addition to booths.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Heavy equipment&lt;/b&gt; refers to heavy-duty &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle&quot;&gt;vehicles&lt;/a&gt;, specially designed for executing &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construction&quot;&gt;construction&lt;/a&gt; tasks, most frequently ones involving &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthworks_(engineering)&quot;&gt;earthwork operations&lt;/a&gt;. They are also known as &lt;b&gt;heavy machines&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;heavy trucks&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;construction equipment&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;engineering equipment&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;heavy vehicles&lt;/b&gt;, or &lt;b&gt;heavy hydraulics&lt;/b&gt;. They usually comprise five equipment systems: implement, &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_(engineering)&quot;&gt;traction&lt;/a&gt;, structure, &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_train&quot;&gt;power train&lt;/a&gt;, control and information. Heavy equipment functions through the &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_advantage&quot;&gt;mechanical advantage&lt;/a&gt; of a &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_machine&quot;&gt;simple machine&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratio&quot;&gt;ratio&lt;/a&gt; between input force applied and force exerted is multiplied.

&lt;b&gt;Rafting&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;white water rafting&lt;/b&gt; are recreational &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outdoor_activities&quot;&gt;outdoor activities&lt;/a&gt; which use an inflatable &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raft&quot;&gt;raft&lt;/a&gt; to navigate a &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River&quot;&gt;river&lt;/a&gt; or other body of water. This is often done on &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitewater&quot;&gt;whitewater&lt;/a&gt; or different degrees of rough water. Dealing with risk and the need for teamwork is often a part of the experience. This activity as a leisure sport has become popular since the 1950s, if not earlier, evolving from individuals paddling 10 feet (3.0 m) to 14 feet (4.3 m) rafts with double-bladed paddles or oars to multi-person rafts propelled by single-bladed paddles and steered by a person at the stern, or by the use of oars.&amp;nbsp; Rafting on some sections of rivers is considered an &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_sport&quot;&gt;extreme sport&lt;/a&gt;, and can be fatal, while other sections are not so extreme or difficult. The International Rafting Federation, often referred to as the IRF, is the worldwide body which oversees all aspects of the sport.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
For the purposes of this challenge, you are to model a recreational raft designed for use on a river.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
