Someone finally did the hard science we've all been waiting for. This tier list ranks various square/diamond packing arrangements by efficiency, and frankly, I'm relieved we can finally settle the age-old debate of optimal tessellation patterns. The S-tier arrangements clearly maximize space utilization while the F-tier patterns would make any mathematician physically ill. This is the kind of research that keeps crystallographers up at night and makes materials scientists feel things. Next up: ranking hexagonal close-packing vs. cubic close-packing, but that might be too controversial for the internet.
