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-up31·10 months ago7 by 7 matrix isn’t the optimal packing. The square shown is slightly smaller than 7 by 7.
minus-squarehsdkfr734r@feddit.nllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-210 months agoThanks. I thought it was about counting. It all makes a lot more sense now. (And it also doesn’t.)
How?
