Sphere Cube (Posted on 2004-02-09)

You may find this problem similar.

In a cube of side 4, I pack eight spheres of unit radius.

What is the largest sphere I can place in the center (such that it doesn't overlap any of the other spheres)?

Thanks Charlie. In my attenpt to simplify the problem, I lost track of the alignment of the center circle. Again thanks for the correction.
