I thought this was an interesting theory ...

That is quite interesting. I wonder how reliable the results are. Does latitute have an effect, I wonder? So many questioned unanswered. I suggest someone draw up a proposal and try and get funding from the National Science Foundation.

I always wanted to do my PhD in Lego - so would that be Engineering, Physics, Education, or Visual Arts? I guess this experiment is Engineering - effects of light on materials - although we could look into Physics (optics) and Geography (Weather & Climate studies) as an interdisciplinary to allow for better travel grants ...
Oh I wish
Cheers,

Hmm... I a little confused. I he trying to make the whole brick discolored to match one already discolored side? Or does exposing the brick's already discolored sides for a long enough period of time change the color to something better?

As I understood it, the attempt is to take a new-coloured brick and make it look like an old-coloured brick by leaving it in the sun.
Was I just hearing what I wanted to hear?

No, I think you're right.

"It exposes to sunlight for one week"
"It turns over"
"It puts the lotion in the basket"
It's an interesting idea. I'll definately try this out.

LOL...
oh man, don't even go there.
I'd be interested in trying this out too that the sun is starting to come up ever once in awhile here in the northeast.

Are the photos the end result of this experiment? Is the colour of the middle brick suppose to have changed from matching the right-hand brick to matching the left-hand brick? If that is the goal, then I see no discernable change in the middle brick colour. Perhaps that's due more to my own slight colour blindness, but my reaction is to declare the experiment a failure.

Neat idea. Doesn't look like it worked out too good, but still a cool thought.
Now if Bruce could just give us some chemical forumulas to change the color, we'd be in business!
