If you were to make up a set of exactly 100 lego bricks/pieces,
what would the set consist of, and what kind of container
would you use or design for it?  The container is not one of
the 100 pieces.

For the sake of clarification, lets assume that the set is to
be used by adults or older kids and is to be packed in some
sort of container and placed on a 'coffee table' or as a stress
relieving toy on someone's desk.

OK,  here's my take on this....
Remember those architectural wooden blocks that sometimes serve
this purpose, well use LEGO instead of blocks.

Here's what I would use (sort of a Greek/Roman Temple effect)

All white bricks......

I would definitely go for mixed colours.

(36)  2x2 round bricks
(2)    2x10 beams
(2)    2x8 beams
(8)    2x4 bricks
(2)    2x3 bricks
(16)  2x2 bricks
(8)    1x2 bricks
(4)    1x1 bricks
(4)    1x4x5 half arches
(4)    1x2x6 arches
(4)    1x2x4 arches
(2)    2x2 low sloped peaks
(8)    2x3 low sloped bricks

Not a bad choice.

For a different building challenge take <set:6580> minus the
two tail fins (and two more pieces to reach 100).

I can say many evil things about that set, but I managed to
build <URL: http://hugin.ldraw.org/LEGO/Skibe/#katamaran >
only using pieces from that set (and with a newspaper
photographer saying "look this way" and "look that way" to
me at the same time).

What about picking 100 pieces at random with the sole
criterium that the length of their LDraw names should be
less than the average length of LDraw parts names (to reduce
the number of specialised parts)?

Play well,

Jacob
