		+	During the Hour of Towers, participants may build towers. Each tower will control all the land that is closer to it than to any other tower. A single uncontested tower would control 100% of Egypt. The amount of land controlled is based on Voronoi diagrams quantized with quadtrees.

-==Overview==
+==University Text==
 ''The Hour of Towers occurs about once per three (Egypt) days. The schedule for the next seven Hours of Towers is shown on the calendar.  When the hour arrives, build any number of Towers across the land. You control all land that is closest to one of your towers. Control an amount of land equal to all of Egypt to pass the Test of Towers.''
 The '''Test of Towers''' is the third [[Tests|test]] in the discipline of [[Architecture]].  During periodic "Tower Hours", you (and others willing to help you) will construct temporary towers to "control" the land.  Building more towers than other players, and placing them strategically, is the key to controlling more territory, bringing you greater progress toward passing the test.

 Principle is satisfied when you have built two towers (must be different types) and have successfully controlled 7% or more of Egypt.

+==Scoring==
 Any towers you own at the end of the hour count towards your cumulative total control of Egypt.  (This means that you can have other people build towers for you, as long as they transfer ownership to you before the end of the hour.)  The percentage you earned during that hour will be shown in a message in Main, and the top 14 scores will be listed in a message in System.
 The top 14 scorers in any particular Hour of Towers get to apply all of the percentage points they scored that round to their total. Participants not in the top 14 only get to add 1/7 of their percentage points to their total.
 Your total cumulative score so far can be viewed from your Tests menu.  When your cumulative score reaches 100%, you pass the Test of Towers.
