Over at Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories, an efficient way of organizing Lego pieces has been thought up very seriously and shared to everyone. Instead of tossing all the unused bits and pieces into a big storage bin like below, every piece is stacked neatly in the most efficient way for the next building project as shown in the pictures following.
