1 cm more for me to try?


I have taken a closer look at your 67 cm tower and see that you have gone great length to optimize on the vertical orientations AND to locate those vertical blocks at what appear to be precisely the right locations. I looked hard to see where I could improve something but have to admit there was only ONE possible area that might be able to be re-configured. It is near the very top as shown above.

If a person were remove the one block shown and arrange the others so that the dots lined up with the dashes (as bricks are laid down on their seams) It MIGHT be possible to add one more centimeter on top from that removed block. I cannot see where too much (if any) more room for improvement could be made since you appear to have used ALL blocks with incrementally narrowing tower diameter while also optimizing on vertical heights for blocks that were not too tall (and therefore unstable for anything laid on top of them). Brilliant!
