On the entropy of LEGO

Combinatorics 2010-09-16 v2

Abstract

We propose the further study of the rate of growth of the number of contiguous buildings which may be made from n LEGO blocks of the same size and color. Specializing to blocks of dimension 2x4 we give upper and lower bounds, and speculate on the true value.
