You have an infinite supply of cigarettes. You arrange N number of cigarettes so that every cigarette touches every other cigarette; what is the maximum possible N?
ASSUMPTIONS: Cigarettes are 3 dimensional objects and have finite size in every dimension; further, assume cigarettes are perfect right cylinders of exact same size to an atomic level. You can assume the cigarettes are "sticky" and will stay exactly where you put them. For a cigarette to "touch" another, at least one atom has to be in direct contact with one atom of the other cigarette, so for example, you can NOT lay 4 cigarette's down flat on the table in a + (plus/cross) sign -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.net/
