2mm below the tallest, but how earth do you get the pink piece to balance on the gray piece?

I bow to the master.

There is a taller one? Do tell! Link?

Edit: and as to how to get the pink one to stay, it was just some delicate balancing. And the pink one is tilted slightly toward the viewer/left, in other words aside from being (obviously) oriented diagonally, it's also not oriented straight up and down in the other axis. Managed to do it a few times for different attempts, as the first time the pip wasn't riding as high as it could be. The pip just stays on (barely) by friction, btw.

That one is 11.1 by my tape measure.

You could put them side-by-side.

Still amazed you got that to balance. I tried it (after seeing your picture) but gave up :)
