| (...) But it can't recolor your pixels if you do high-contrast banding -- i.e., a band of black, a band of medium gray, a band of white, a band of dark gray, and finally a band of light gray. I think it can only (fairly) do color substitutions when (...) (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

In your "optimal" example, assuming that they do go for perfect use of the 90 plates in a bag, the program only has to recolor 9 or 10 (...) (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

Sounds like they've set themselves up to give a pretty good bargain since a best case (for TLC) would be only 22 bags, so being able to get 26 bags is getting an extra 18.2% (or a 15% discount). Of course they may budget the thing for 25 bags (...) (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| (...) Hmm. I bet they're *really* 90-count bags and the extras are for if you go over 88, not 90. That is, I'll speculate that if you need 87 or 88, you get one bag. But if you need 89, 90, 91, 92, or any number up to 176, you get two bags. (Just a (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
