The readme has no figures :( describing the packing?

vessenes•1h ago

I had the same thought! Pics please.

For more packings (circles in circles, etc) check out this page: https://erich-friedman.github.io/packing/index.html

Did an interval-arithmetic branch and bound once, getting the rounding modes right took me weeks.

I like geometry. These packings show there are ugly numbers, like 51.

yzydserd•12m ago

fwiw The prime site for square in square packing is at https://kingbird.myphotos.cc/packing/squares_in_squares.html

The triangular view is most interesting. And a 20 minute video on this view is at https://youtu.be/uL5wuiy34rs

Isn't this obvious? Why do you need a proof for it, just stack the cubes next to each other? If we're talking infinitesimally thin squares, then stack them on top of each other? Am I missing something?

The whole point is that you can fit more than by naively stacking them...
