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,

This method is a bit more tightly packed, and you do have to press down
slightly to get the bottom disc into the cup. If you omit the top and bottom
brick from that disc you eliminate that problem. The top (largest) disc is
also a bit tight, but still fits.
I’d still like to see someone top that, though. Keep pushing the envelope,
people!

can add 2 additional bricks to the second row to make it look like the first row
diamond shape. So the record is 165!

P.s. this was fun! Want to take the small cup on now?
