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.

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.

I'm kind of kidding here: Can you place the lid *under* the cup-- still touching the cup-- and proceed to stack the bricks much much taller than the top edge of the cup...say 3, 4, 5 feet tall, or as tall as the store ceiling?
