Optimal Packing of 16 Squares
The optimal known packing of 16 equal squares into a larger square – i.e. the arrangement which minimises the size of the large square.
A mathematical diagram shows 16 equal gray squares arranged inside a larger square, with several squares rotated at different angles. The joke is the overly formal presentation of a visually messy and seemingly inefficient arrangement as the “optimal” solution, making it useful as an absurd reaction to complicated optimization or chaotic planning.
