Sphere Cube (Posted on 2004-02-09) Difficulty: 2 of 5
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)?

That's pretty good, Tristan... I start having trouble imagining such a cube, when the dimensions exceed 3... :-)

P.S. yup... the sides of a 9-cube have 8 dimensions.
