(...) Ummm... The 2xN slopes are 45 degrees. In LDraw measures, the sloped surface is 20LDU deep x 20LDU high. Of course, the 4LDU lip at the bottom of the part throws off the overall slope when you build with these pieces. The sloped surface on the (...) (23 years ago, 19-Nov-01, to lugnet.build)

I don't think we'll worry too much about amount of pieces, really. A minifig counts as one piece, I would think.
