The trick is the capitol building has to do with the elliptical (at least I think it's elliptical) shape of the room...the point where you can hear whispers from across the room is one of the focus points; all sound waves that hit the walls bounce off and head directly to that point. I may have gotten the details wrong, but that's as close to the explanation I got last year when doing trig.
