Wow, John!  Now *that's* taking the initiative ;)

I suspect that the color bags do not all contain 90 bricks each then?  A
simple calculation of 90 bricks per bag * the number of bags per set yields
vastly differing amounts.  A minimum of 1936 1x1s are needed to fill the
44x44 interior space of a bordered 48x48 plate, right (44x44 = 1936).

According to my calculations below, these bags must contain differing
numbers of bricks per bag.  If we assume 90 bricks per bag :

K34431  Cat    : 21 bags = 1890 1x1s (Too few bricks?)
K34432  Dino   : 31 bags = 2790 1x1s (Overkill?)
K34433  Johnny : 23 bags = 2070 1x1s (Just about right)
K34334  Tiger  : 25 bags = 2250 1x1s (A bit too many)

John, I sure appreciate your validating the exact color-to-set breakdown.  I
would like to provide a set matching algorithm for my MosaicMapper app to
suggest the appropriate sets to buy to meet the color breakdown of the
user's custom mosaic.

I was under the impression that ALL bags do contain 90 bricks each. So if a mosaic needs just one black, you end up with 89 extra. jt (...) (21 years ago, 14-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.sculpture)
