@futurebird @chrisgeidner Optimal packing is the most cursed area of math.

I'm glad I studied packing problems a little. You can fit way more than 9 of them in there.

Why? Just because all the solutions aren't cute and pretty? Hmh.
(Did you know that often seemingly 'ugly' packing problem solutions are very geometrically elegant ... if you just zoom out enough? We are just looking at things at the wrong scale... I think this is an area of math where bignums get to really shine for once. Proves they have a purpose...)

Look at the one I posted... can you imagine what the larger pattern is like... isn't that... awesome!
(oh god I've gone so far off topic on this thread it was supposed to be about the supreme court I think I'm dissociating again I'm sorry)
