I believe the formula you should be using is h*(h-1) 2x4s plus 1 2x2 where • h
is the height of the pyramid in bricks so the answer for a 32 high is 992.

Excellent, thanks Phil. I did what turns out to be a similar calculation,
and got just over 1000, but I think yours is more mathematically correct.
