Answers.Body: <p>Depending upon the structural integrity required, you can connect the 4x2 bricks by one corner peg consistently (upper left most corner when viewed horizontally) stacked on top of each other, yet rotated such that the side of the brick is against the lower level peg (in upper one from the left on the lower brick). This will make a weak spiral yet with adjustable and relatively tight angles with one step per brick layer.</p>

Answers.Text: @simplest_mathematics I agree that this answer could be improved with an image, but I think your comment is a little harsh. This answer sounds a lot like what Ambo proposed, and that seems reasonable to me. It's true that it doesn't use only 90 degree angles, but it does provide another option using only basic bricks. Honestly, I think this answer is pretty good, especially for a first post.

  Based on the limited brick options, and the "it needs to be solid" constraint, I present my "Minecraft Spiral Stair" in LEGO form, and to provide "inifite height", I've gone for a "hung" support option:
  
  1. Start with two 2x2, a 2x4 and a 2x6 in this configuration:  
     [![Repeating step](https://i.sstatic.net/e3pjQ.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/e3pjQ.png)
