A long, long time ago - before airplanes were invented, a suspension bridge was being built to span the gorge near Niagara Falls.
However, there was no way a boat could carry the necessary suspension cables across the violent water, and the bridge could not be built until the cables spanned the river.
In desperation, the builders staged a contest, open to the public, as a way to solve their problem.
The contest was won by a young boy. Soon afterwards, the cables spanned the water.
What countries did they stage the contest? What was the contest and how did it solve the problem?
