I hope you find this usefull.

Ondrew,

I just tried this. Pretty cool technique, except that I think you only get 125 (plus 8 1x4s) this way. It looks like you went two layers of brick too tall at the top, (steps 15+16 must be omitted) so you counted an extra 24 2x4s that don’t actually fit into the cup. At least they don’t fit into the cups I’ve been buying!

Still, it’s a nice technique because you’re dealing with one solid chunk of brick which is probably easier to build and memorize than the layered disc techniques.

Note: You have to wedge this down into the cup to get it in, but it fits nicely and the cap does snap on.

(...) I wondered about that also. I have only been able to get 15 layers plus the top 4 2x4's in the lid. (20 years ago, 1-Dec-03, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) I understand that you would like the cup to close but it is not a requirement at any of the stores that I have been to. I sould know, I work at one. The only rule is the lid has to be able to touch the cup in some way, shape, or form. ondrew (20 years ago, 1-Dec-03, to lugnet.general, FTX)
