Coin fitting (Posted on 2025-04-23) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Coins of diameter 1 have been placed in a square of side 11, without overlapping or protruding from the square. Can there be 126 coins? and 127? and 128?

A very simple fix.  Remove the top offset row of 10 and replace it with a full row of 11.
