The angle of the building is 3, 3 degrees (a little less than the famous leaning tower of Pisa).

The price of them remained the same. Outraged by such antics of the townspeople rebelled and locked the cheaters in the urban tower. Residents demanded that the city Council and mayor stiff punishment for butchers. When irritated the mayor of Ulm entered the room, frightened and fat sausage retreated back a few steps and were huddled in one corner.
