    How?

    Yes, if you push the circles down a bit, it forms a 7 by 7 matrix. But if pushing the circles into a square matrix is not allowed: how?

    Edit: I get it now. It is about (efficient) packing not about counting. I also get the 4th panel now…

      7 by 7 matrix isn’t the optimal packing. The square shown is slightly smaller than 7 by 7.

        Thanks. I thought it was about counting. It all makes a lot more sense now. (And it also doesn’t.)

      Yeah it can fit almost 7 in a line in the last panel so theese definitely aren’t the same squares(or circles)

        These are optimal packings of n circles in a square container of the smallest size that will contain them

          So it is fitting the 49 in smallest square and not fitting as many circles as possible in given square? Okay that makes sense
