minus-squarehsdkfr734r@feddit.nllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up35·edit-26 months agoHow? Yes, if you push the circles down a bit, it forms a 7 by 7 matrix. But if pushing the circles into a square matrix is not allowed: how? Edit: I get it now. It is about (efficient) packing not about counting. I also get the 4th panel now…
minus-squaremagic_lobster_party@kbin.runlinkfedilinkarrow-up66·6 months ago7 by 7 matrix isn’t the optimal packing. The square shown is slightly smaller than 7 by 7.
minus-squarehsdkfr734r@feddit.nllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·edit-26 months agoThanks. I thought it was about counting. It all makes a lot more sense now. (And it also doesn’t.)
minus-squaremexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·edit-26 months agoYeah it can fit almost 7 in a line in the last panel so theese definitely aren’t the same squares(or circles)
minus-squareapotheotic (she/her)@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up21·edit-26 months agoThese are optimal packings of n circles in a square container of the smallest size that will contain them
minus-squaremexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·6 months agoSo it is fitting the 49 in smallest square and not fitting as many circles as possible in given square? Okay that makes sense
How?

Correct!
