@codemonkey_uk You'd think squares in squares would be better, but nope. https://kingbird.myphotos.cc/packing/squares_in_squares.html

Kind of hilarious that these are the best ways to pack six or eight cube-shaped boxes into a round room.

Of course, mathematicians love when things get weird like this.

@ramankhutu I can see 6 has an elegance to it, a nice symmetry. 8 is just nuts. I hate it. Garbage. Which is … Hilarious. 😂

@codemonkey_uk Oh, I see the little bit of symmetry in 6 now. It's rotated to obscure that.
