1. Technoman is fine with me. It's just that my mind works in mysterious ways and I enjoy conveying my opinion on technical things to other people. I will always endeavor to use sound engineering and math principles in my replies.

2. You're apparently an intelligent person and so I'm sure you realize that I was just trying to make a point about the fact that the bar could be bent up any way you want it as long as the attachment points are the same distance from the track surface (level) and the bar is as long as possible within the confines of the available space. As I said, the material used for such a pretzel bar would have to be stiff enough to prevent deflection.

Technoman,
Yes, I know it was just a illustration. Some times my humor (?) hides the obvious .
