   The grand total of this packing is 1315 & 2/3 cb.!!  The volume break • down by
bricks/plates is:  brick volume = 889 cb., plate volume = 426 & 2/3 cb. • If you
want a "hard lock" on the lid you'll have to leave out the layer of 8 2x4
plates, the 6 1x1's in the lid stud, and the 3 high stack of 1x1's at each
corner.  This reduces the total to 1276 & 1/3 cb.

So the real question is - how long did this take you?

   A couple of hours to do both configurations and count them up.
