Word "Lego" comes from the Danish "leg godt", which means "play well"
Lego, based in Denmark, is the fourth largest maker of toys in the world
Lego says the tallest tower made using its bricks was 32.5m. The Guinness World Record for "tallest structure built with interlocking plastic bricks" is 30.52m (100ft)
Scientists have been working to calculate the highest possible Lego tower that could be constructed. In a laboratory, they kept on loading weight onto a 2x2 brick. Amazingly the Lego brick could withstand 432kg... which is the same as 375,000 lego bricks.
That means you could build a lego tower higher than Mount Olympus!
