Is this a hard limit we’ve proven or can we still keep trying?

We actually haven’t found a universal packing algorithm, so it’s on a case-by-case basis. This is the best we’ve found so far for this case (17 squares in a square).

It’s kinda hilarious when the best formula only handles large numbers, not small. You’d think it would be the reverse, but sometimes it just isn’t (something about the law of large numbers making it easier to approximate good solution, in many cases)
