Argh! I got 4100 and 1170 confused *starts self-flagelation with birch

Bah, I've been studying too much mining engineering for my thesis recently.
Hmm, perhaps I should apply the Korobov implentation of the positive moving
cone technique for pit optimisation to determine the optimum way to dig
through a bucket of lego to find a specific piece of random distribution.
It'd certainly be less computationally expensive than the Lerchs-Grossman
method. I should put it in as an appendix to my thesis. :)


Structural LEGO is more akin to steel than concrete

Yeah, that's what I meant. Technic pins = bolted joints. Normal lego
probably requires AS3700 in its application, notably part 5. :)

Sorry, but I don't think that's possible. :) The question for bonus marks
is; how many degrees of freedom does Peter White's wife give him (a) before
and (b) after a huge lego spending spree. :)
