Someone just solved the most important geographical puzzle of our time: fitting 17 Egypts into the Pacific Ocean like the world's most chaotic Tetris game. Because when you're not using your geography degree, apparently you're out here playing spatial optimization with entire countries.

The best part? They're arranged with the precision of someone who's definitely procrastinating on something important. Those colorful Egypts in the middle are absolutely vibing while the pink ones around the edges are like "we got the boring spots." It's giving math homework meets geography meets "I have too much free time and I'm making it everyone's problem."

Fun fact: Egypt is about 1 million km², and the Pacific Ocean is roughly 165 million km², so theoretically you could fit about 165 Egypts in there. But who's counting when you can just make a beautiful rainbow arrangement and call it optimal packing? This is what happens when mathematicians get bored and discover map overlay tools.
