    Re: A new P.A.B. 2X4 Record! —Chris Phillips
   (...) Ahh, changing the rules on us, eh? Actually I was aware of this. I've been told by one of the sales clerks that I am the only person who he's ever seen trying to get the lids to actually snap shut. They always offer to tape the lids on anyway. (...)

        Re: A new P.A.B. 2X4 Record -- 152 2x4s! —Chris Phillips
   (...) Under the modified rules, I was easily able to get 152 2x4s into a cup by adding one more layer to my stacked disc technique. The lid doesn't snap shut, but it overlaps with very slight downward pressure. It is also not necessary to force the (...) (20 years ago, 1-Dec-03, to lugnet.general, FTX)

        Re: A new P.A.B. 2X4 Record -- 163 2x4s! —Chris Phillips
   (...) I knew I missed something, because I added more bricks to the top level than my previous personal best had increased by. I went back and checked my original method and sure enough, found that I could fit 163 2x4s in the cup, again assuming (...) (20 years ago, 1-Dec-03, to lugnet.general, FTX)
   
        Re: A new P.A.B. 2X4 Record -- 163 2x4s! —Ondrew Hartigan
     (...) Well I would like to congratulate you for taking this challenge. This after all is for the benefit of everyone. I would like to still keep record by saying you can add 2 additional bricks to the second row to make it look like the first row (...) (20 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.general, FTX)
    
         Re: A new P.A.B. 2X4 Record -- 163 2x4s! —Chris Phillips
      (...) When I add two more bricks to the second level it deforms the cup pretty badly, but I suppose it fits. So add another brick to the center row of level 4 (Blue/White section in the center of my latest picture) and you get 166 2x4's into a (...) (20 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.general, FTX)
    
         Yet another PAB 2X4 Record: 169 2x4s! —Tony Hafner
     (...) I know this thread died months ago, but we got a store in the Seattle area a few weeks ago and I finally got to try it out. And, of course, this subject is always of interest. I got 169 2x4 bricks into a cup today, using a slightly modified (...) (20 years ago, 6-Aug-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)
   
        Re: A new P.A.B. 2X4 Record -- 163 2x4s! —Bob Hayes
   (...) I tried this method and it takes a little time, but it works very well. As a control I packed 2x4s into a cup without any assemble and I could only fit 103 bricks, so assembling makes a significant difference. (20 years ago, 25-Apr-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.org.us.wamalug, FTX)
