How many times can you put two LEGO bricks together before they break?

Every LEGO brick has its limits. We see plenty of building techniques that stress bricks in various ways, but nobody has answered the question, “How many times can you put two bricks together and take them apart before the bricks fail?” Phillipe Cantin decided to find out.

The answer: After running his machine for more than 10 days, the LEGO bricks finally failed after more than 37,000 repetitions.

    I would like to see how different the results are for 2 x 2 & 2 x 4 bricks and then see if colour makes any difference.
