perplexus.info :: Shapes : A Tighter Fit

A Tighter Fit (Posted on 2004-07-29)

A 10x10 square can obviously hold 100 unit circles (diameter=1) when arranged in rows and columns. What is the maximum number of non-overlapping unit circles a 10x10 square can hold if the circles are packed closer together?
