After trying to pack 100,000 (took a week, didn't work very well), and thus having my computer back, I played for a bit this AM and for no particular reason...
Still playing.... 1161 in 5.70252 (max o'lap 1.88x10^-15) 1167 in 5.71024 (max o'lap 2.2x10^-11) That last is _ten more balls_ than are in the Waterman, and...
Just finished messing with Steve's 1157-ball Waterman (I forget which W-number it is; the radius --minus the 0.5 we both exclude because we detect ballcenters...
Well, I was wrong: I can get 1187 balls into radius 5.7445 (the W radius for that Waterman). (It's actually 5.7433, but I can't (yet) get another ball in,...
INteresting. I wonder if I'm getting 'optimal' for RJP? I just surprised myself by getting _1187_ balls into a hair less than the same radius that Steve's...
Hi Kirby. I tend to agree with you. So does Steve. However, there's also apparently a 'stepwise' sequence of which packs better. The one I packed and beat...
