Cheating detected: you are using C4 symmetry, while I simulated real 
packing with C3, which requires painful procedure of remembering medium 
school math (funny enough, years ago I started with angular functions; 
much later I managed to remember of Pythagorean theorem, and yesterday - 
a triumph! - I finally managed to make all this down to sqrt(3), which I 
hardcoded as a constant, thus removing all linkage to math, rotflmao. 
The moral is, you should learn math to get rid of it.)

Anyway, some number of the now resides at

variants with, say, rotated boxes looks pseudo-artistic enough to start 
boring people with it. Guess I miss C6 symmetry, but "I'll think of it 
all tomorrow".
