Lego pieces: When do they lose their clutch power?

After how many times do you think that lego pieces/bricks lose their clutch power?

We all, certainly, have played, with lego bricks as kids. We have built lots of constructions with them and enjoyed our time playing.

But have you ever wondered after how many times of using them this way, they will lose their clutch power?

Their clutch power is their ability to connect with each other properly.

LEGO bricks are made from ABS plastic and they will wear off by use, of cource, in time.

But how many times can you assemble and dis-assemble two pieces of them before they no longer can stay together?

And the answer is 37,112 times, according to a man that tested this theory, in a specifically, for this reason, built machine.

Cool hah?
