Bram and I were discussing this and we had both came up with this modification.
If you take 4 1x1 tiles and put them end on into one of the 2x2 tiles you can
use them to attach the tile to the brick.
This isn’t a standard stud to tube connection but it can be sturdy. Seems to be
variable depending on who builds it and other vagaries. I’ve rolled one as dice
while another fell apart.
