I'm not sure I can get this right, but I'll give it a shot...
If you want a perfect cube, you take a 2x2 brick, and top it with a 2x2
plate, and top THAT with a 2x2 tile. A standard brick is 3 plates high.
So a 2x2 brick is also 5 plates wide (if you exclude the top studs, and
they are usually inserted in something above them, so don't count. So I
would say that the aspect ration is 1 stud-to-stud to 2.5 thickness of
plates...
or...1 brick thickness is 1.2 to stud-to-stud ratio,
and...1 plate thickness is .4 to stud-to-stud ratio.
Does this get you any closer?
