40 Dots

Bird's Eye View of 40 Dots
January 11, 2013
Build a LEGO project that has exactly 40 dots when looked at from above.

Even if pieces are added to the top there is no increase in number of dots.

To add 2 to the 38 red dots, she added two white 1 by 2 plates to increase the count  by 2 (and not 4).
Also placing "1" tile took away 2 dots so two more dots were added in the same way.
2 were subtracted and 4 were added.

Many ways to make 40.

Count to make sure.

They counted each other's to check.

He made 40 dots with all the beams.        He put all the beams put away.
