I dunno...  :)  I'd have to say, separating a 6x8 plate from a stack of 10
tightly squeezed 6x8 plates is harder than that.  You can always bend the 4x4
plate slightly to get the 1x2 grille tile started.

Sure, but a STACK of 10? (ie rigid column) no doubt.  I'm talking about normal
building tecniques and I'll wave the age limit. (12?)

As far as "normalcy" goes, I've drawn blood a few times separating two
tighly-sealed 2x2 plates.  Any bigger a plate and you can bend them just enough
to create a seam into which a fingernail will fit.  2x2's are just too small,
and God forbid they're old.  I have more than a few of these with ugly,
disfiguring gauges along the edges where a tack had to be probed into the seam
to separate them.

My backup submission here will be a 2x2 tile in the center of a large brick
baseblate (a la BASIC from days of yore).  It's completely inflexible, and
unless you have fingernails of steel (which I don't), you can't do it without a
probing, needle-like device (or a good, solid hammer).
