What would be the best strategy in solving the following problem:

Given 2 small rectangular magnets, approx 5 feet of wire, 2 thumb
tacks, 2 paper clips, and a small block of wood (about 4"X2"x.5") How
would one built a motor so that it can at least reach 2600 rpm. Only
these items can used, the use of glue, tape, etc will disqualify you.
NOTE only these items can used in thethe motor but you can use a drill
to make holes or a saw to cut the wood in building the motor etc.
