I knew I missed something, because I added more bricks to the top level than my previous personal best had increased by. I went back and checked my original method and sure enough, found that I could fit 163 2x4s in the cup, again assuming that the lid doesn’t need to snap on:



This method is a bit more tightly packed, and you do have to press down slightly to get the bottom disc into the cup. If you omit the top and bottom brick from that disc you eliminate that problem. The top (largest) disc is also a bit tight, but still fits.

I’d still like to see someone top that, though. Keep pushing the envelope, people!

I tried this method and it takes a little time, but it works very well. As a control I packed 2x4s into a cup without any assemble and I could only fit 103 bricks, so assembling makes a significant difference.
