btw this was discovered in 1998 by an undergrad named John Bidwell (University of Hawaii). my understanding is it was "by hand", i.e., he wasn't using a computer algorithm or something. in fact, to my knowledge, all the best known packings are humans applying geometric theorems.

This is the most efficient way to pack 17 squares. This is a post about programming, btw.

Hundreds of years ago, the volcanic processes that created Hawaii also formed a network of underground caves 🌋 They're inhospitable to most life but, scientists have found colonies of microbes that possess many secrets🦠 Let's unlock the mystery 👇 trib.al/fRr3Stj
