"No Tipping" puzzle

  Hello,

  I made up a puzzle game in eToy and uploaded to BSS.  It
is based on the puzzle appeared on April issue of Scientific
American.  (see
http://www.sciam.com/2001/0401issue/0401puzzling.html)

  I found that a message sent by 'tellAllSiblings:' is only
delivered to the morphs created by the 'copy' tile in
'miscellaneous' category, but not to the copy created by
green halo.  Is this intended behavior?  I'm using 3.1
alpha, highest update = 3960.

  The other problem is that I happened to notice that I have
thrown away the issue and I can't read the second example on
their web because the characters are too tiny.  If someone
has the issue or can figure out the second problem, please
let me know the weight and position of those packages on the 
board.

P.S.
  On every issue of SciAm (and more importantly Discover
magazine), there is a puzzle.  I imagine it would be nice if
those are implemented in eToy (or whatever) and the readers
can try it...

P.P.S.
  I have to say that it is implemented in eToy, but the way
it works isn't a simulation of real world.  Maybe I'm no
longer a kid (sigh) and too much programer...
