Hey all,
A couple of nights ago while trying to maximize the number of 2x4 bricks I
could fit into a cup in a far easier format than the previous record. I found
that I had actually beat the old record by quite a bit. The new record is
149. 
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.
- Chris.

| (...) 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 (21 years ago, 1-Dec-03, to lugnet.general, FTX)
